Etkilenebilirler

Etkilenebilirler is a Turkish verb form that means “they can be affected” or “they are susceptible to being affected.” It is the third-person plural form of etkilenebilir, which is the potential mood of etkilenmek (to be affected) with the suffix -ler for plural subjects. The construction conveys possibility or vulnerability to external factors.

In usage, etkilenebilirler appears in scientific, policy, and risk-related texts to describe populations, ecosystems, systems, or groups that may experience impact from certain influences. It is common in contexts such as environmental hazards, public health, disaster planning, and social policy to indicate which subjects could be affected, rather than stating that they necessarily are.

Contextual nuance is that the term denotes susceptibility rather than inevitability; it signals potential harm, damage, or influence contingent on conditions. The related noun etkilenebilirlik or the adjective etkilenebilirlik, though less common in everyday speech, is used to discuss overall vulnerability or susceptibility of a group or system.

Examples:

- Bu bölgeler sel ve kuraklık gibi olaylardan etkilenebilirler.

- Çocuklar ve yaşlılar gibi etkilenebilir gruplar için özel önlemler alınmalıdır.

- Gökdelenler aşırı rüzgârdan etkilenebilirlik açısından değerlendirildi.
