Asümmeetridir

Asümmeetridir is a Turkish adjective meaning “is asymmetric.” It describes a shape, object, arrangement, or property that does not possess symmetry under a specified operation, such as reflection, rotation, or a permutation of components. The term is used across disciplines—mathematics, physics, chemistry, design—to indicate the absence of symmetry in a given context.

In geometry, a figure with no axis of symmetry or rotational symmetry is described as asümmeetridir. Irregular polygons, scalene shapes, and many natural forms often fall into this category. In biology, anatomy or patterns that lack mirror symmetry can also be characterized as asümmeetridir. In chemistry and physics, the concept is applied to describe systems or processes that do not exhibit symmetric behavior, such as chiral molecules or asymmetric distributions of matter or energy.

The expression often appears in formal or technical writing, and may be used interchangeably with or distinguished from the more common asimetrik, depending on the emphasis on the type of symmetry being considered. It helps specify that the lack of symmetry is a defining characteristic relevant to the discussion, rather than a general statement about irregularity.
