Edilmekte

Edilmekte is a Turkish word that functions as a passive gerund or present participle. It is formed by combining the verb "etmek" (to do, to make) with the passive suffix "-il" and the present participle suffix "-mekte". The "-mekte" suffix indicates an ongoing action, similar to the "-ing" form in English. Therefore, "edilmekte" translates to "being done" or "being made" in the present continuous tense.

This grammatical construction is used to describe an action that is currently in progress and is being done to a subject. For example, "Yardım edilmekte" means "Help is being given". The passive voice is crucial here, as it shifts the focus from the doer of the action to the receiver. The "-mekte" ending emphasizes that this action is happening right now and is not yet completed. It conveys a sense of ongoing process or state.

The word "edilmekte" is commonly encountered in formal writing, news reports, and official announcements where a passive and continuous description of an event is required. It helps to create a more objective and descriptive narrative by focusing on the state of affairs rather than attributing responsibility to specific agents. Its usage is characteristic of modern Turkish, particularly in conveying contemporary events and situations.
