"Evetlemek" sounds too forced and too artificial to me. I wouldn't use it. Instead I would use "onaylamak". But it's a kind of modern and experimental word.

Quoting mltm: And does English have 25000? |
Yes........it has ten times that amount!!!
take a look
This suggests that there are, at the very least, a quarter of a million distinct English words, excluding inflections, and words from technical and regional vocabulary not covered by the OED, or words not yet added to the published dictionary, of which perhaps 20 per cent are no longer in current use. If distinct senses were counted, the total would probably approach three quarters of a million

Then, I doubt about the number of words in Turkish, I cannot find it now, but it has to be more than 10000!

Yes, 'onaylamak' is a common verb whereas 'evetlemek' is forced, artificial and experimental. I doubt %1 of Turks have ever used it.

'evetler' means the plural of 'yes'.
evet: yes
-ler: plural suffix
Assuming there is an election and there is more yes than no so we would say:
Evetler hayırlardan daha çok.

yes evet can be plural
oylamada, evetler hayýrlardan fazlaydý means ya was greater than nay in the election.
senin bu evetlerinden býktým. means I have been bored from your Yes´es . He says a lot of yes answers
I was recently listen to a Turkish radio programme - not understanding it but listening to it!!! I was sure that I heard the word " evetler" a few times which seems to be the plural of " evet". Doing a google search suggests that it is a word in reasonably common usage but I can´t work it out from any of the texts I can find  What does it mean and when and where might it be used??? It is just a more polite way of saying "yes"?
