Bilinmesi

Bilinmesi is a Turkish noun formed from the verb bilinmek, meaning to be known or to know. As a nominalized form, bilinmesi refers to the act or state of being known and is used to point to information or knowledge that should be known, or to knowledge as a concept.

Morphology and meaning. The word is created by taking the stem bilin- (from bil- knowing), adding a passive/gerundial element, and appending the nominalization suffix -mesi. In usage, bilinmesi denotes a fact or knowledge that is relevant or necessary to be acknowledged, rather than a concrete object.

Usage. Bilinmesi is common in formal or written Turkish, especially in contexts that discuss knowledge, information requirements, or conditions that must be understood. It appears in constructions such as bu durumun bilinmesi gerekir (the knowledge of this situation is required) or bilinmesi gerekenler (things that must be known). It can also occur with accompanying clauses to specify what is known or to be known.

Translations and nuance. In English, bilinmesi is typically rendered as "the fact of being known" or, depending on context, "the knowledge (that)". The choice between these renderings depends on whether the emphasis is on the existence of knowledge itself or on the obligation to know something.
