Dizilmek

Dizilmek is a Turkish verb meaning to be arranged in a line or in a sequence, or to be ordered. It can refer to physical arrangements—people standing in a queue, chairs arranged around a room, books stacked in order—as well as to abstract arrangements such as data, events, or ideas being sequenced.

Usage and grammar: It is used both in the sense of an intransitive passive, meaning “to be arranged,” and in contexts where someone actively arranges something with other verbs such as dizmek. Common verbal forms include dizilir (it is lined up), diziliyor (is being lined up), dizildi (was lined up), and dizilecek (will be lined up). The related noun forms include dizilim (sequence, arrangement) and dizili (arranged, in order).

Examples: Askerler dizildi means “The soldiers were lined up.” Kitaplar raflara dizildi means “The books were placed in order on the shelves.” Veriler dizilendi can be rendered as “The data were arranged/ordered" or "The data were sequenced.”

Etymology and related terms: Dizilmek is derived from diz, meaning line or row, with the -il- suffix forming a passive/potential meaning and the infinitive -mek. It is closely related to words such as düzenlemek (to arrange, organize) but emphasizes lining up or sequencing rather than general organization. In technical or computing contexts, dizilim or dizi is used to denote a sequence or array of items.
