Durulursa

Durulursa is a Turkish verb form that functions as a conditional clause marker derived from the verb durulmak, meaning to become still or to calm down. In English, it can be rendered as “if it calms down” or “if it settles.” The form is used to introduce a hypothetical or contingent clause, describing a change in circumstances that would enable a subsequent action or outcome.

Morphology and usage: Durulursa is the bare conditional form created by attaching the conditional suffix -ursa (or -erse) to the stem durul-. The subject is implied from context; no explicit pronoun is required. The construction is common in both spoken and written Turkish, though it is more frequent in formal, narrative, or hypothetical contexts.

Usage notes: Durulursa is not restricted to calmness in a physical sense; it can refer to situations, moods, or events becoming calmer or more settled. It is often used when the speaker anticipates a change that would allow a plan or decision to proceed.

Examples: Durulursa ortam sakinleşir. If the atmosphere calms down, the discussion can continue. Durulursa toplantı yapılır. If it settles down, the meeting will be held.
