Özet:

 One of the difficulties in academic studies of Turkish literature is that some genre and style names or their equivalents that appear in Western literature do not exist in Turkish literature or are included in other genres. One of them is the genre called Schwank in German, which is called a joke or story because there is no Turkish equivalent. It was Nasrettin Hodjas jokes or storeys that made this concept the starting point of the study. When looking through foreign sources, it becomes clear that Nasreddin Hodja storeys can be assigned to the Schwank genre. For this reason, the characteristics of the Schwank genre were investigated and its distinguishing features from jokes and storeys were examined. Because both types given as Turkish equivalents have very different properties. Examining the general characteristics of these two species shows that they do not overlap with the Schwank species. For example, storeys differ in their characteristics, such as the number of characters, the events they cover, the manner in which they begin and end, and the reasons for their creation. A joke, on the other hand, has the shortest and most succinct frame of the event. It is used for laughter, and the unusual is addressed in jokes. However, the Schwank genre usually deals with events that can happen in peoples lives. Generally, these narratives involve two people or two groups facing each other. This study particularly examined the concepts of the literary genres joke and Schwank and presented the Turkish concept of the cheerful story as a suggestion for the genre schwank. In addition, a dictionary article on the genre of light-hearted storeys is presented at the conclusion of the study.

 Türk edebiyatında yapılan bilimsel çalışmalardaki zorluklardan biri Batı edebiyatında var olan bazı tür ve biçem isimlerinin ya da karşılıklarının Türk edebiyatında olmaması ya da başka türlerin içinde yer almalarıdır. Bunlardan biri de Almancada Schwank diye adlandırılan ve Türkçe karşılığı olmadığından fıkra ya da hikâye diye adlandırılan türdür. Bu kavramı çalışmanın çıkış noktası yapan Nasrettin hoca fıkraları ya da hikâyeleri olmuştur. Çünkü yabancı kaynaklara bakıldığında Nasrettin hoca anlatılarının Schwank türü altında sınıflandırılmış olduğu görülmüştür. Bu nedenle Schwank türünün özellikleri merak edilmiş, onu fıkra ve hikâyeden ayırt edici özellikleri irdelenmiştir. Çünkü Türkçe karşılık olarak verilen her iki tür de kendi içinde birbirinden oldukça farklı özellikler taşımaktadır. Bu iki türün genel özelliklerine de bakıldığında Schwank türü ile örtüşmedikleri ortaya çıkmıştır. Örneğin öykülerin figür sayısı, ele aldıkları olaylar, başının ve sonunun bitiş şekli, ortaya çıkma nedenleri gibi özellikler farklılık göstermektedir. Fıkranın ise mümkün olduğu kadar kısa ve öz bir olay çerçevesi vardır. Güldürme amaçlıdır ve anormal olan fıkrada ele alınmaktadır. Oysa Schwank türünde daha çok insan hayatında olabilecek olaylar ele alınır. Genelde bu anlatılarda iki kişi ya da iki grup yer alır ve bunlar birbirine karşıtlık teşkil eder. Çalışmada özellikle fıkra ve Schwank edebiyat türü kavramları irdelenmiş ve Schwank türü için Türkçe neşeli öykü kavramı öneri olarak sunulmuştur. Ayrıca çalışmanın sonuç kısmında neşeli öykü için bir sözlük maddesi önerisinde bulunulmuştur.
