Üpheliyi

Üpheliyi is not a standard Turkish proper noun or title. The form most commonly found in Turkish texts is şüpheliyi, the accusative direct-object form of the noun/adjective şüpheli, which means suspect or suspicious. Turkish encodes definiteness for direct objects with the suffix -yi (vowel harmony applies), and Turkish itself has no separate definite article.

Meaning and usage

Şüpheliyi denotes “the suspect” as a direct object in a sentence. It can also function in contexts where the term describes someone as suspicious. The word is used in legal, journalistic, and everyday Turkish to refer to a person identified as a suspect in an investigation or case. If the form appears as üpheliyi or without the initial s- (ş-), it is typically a typographical error or a nonstandard variant, not a canonical form in standard Turkish.

Etymology

Şüpheli comes from şüphe, meaning doubt or suspicion, with the suffix -li added to form an adjective meaning suspicious or suspect. The noun use, şüpheli, refers to a person who is suspected of a crime. The accusative form şüpheliyi marks the definite direct object.

Example sentences

Polis, şüpheliyi sorguladı. (The police questioned the suspect.)

Şüpheliyi adliye binasına götürdüler. (They took the suspect to the courthouse.)
