Use kesin for something definite or certain.

The idea

Kesin tarih is a definite date; sonuç kesinleşmedi means the result has not been finalized.

Examples

  • Toplantının kesin tarihi belli oldu.The meeting’s definite date has been decided.
  • Henüz kesin bir cevap yok.There is no definite answer yet.
  • Bu bilgi kesin değil.This information is not certain.
  • Kesin kararı yarın vereceğiz.We will make the final decision tomorrow.
  • Kesin konuşmadan önce kanıtları inceleyelim.Let’s examine the evidence before speaking with certainty.
  • Sonuç henüz kesinleşmedi.The result has not been finalized yet.

Watch out

A definite plan and certain evidence are related but different: context tells whether finality or certainty is meant.
