Faaliyettir

Faaliyettir is a Turkish predicative form meaning “is an activity.” It is built from the noun faaliyet, which means activity or operation, by adding the copular suffix that yields faaliyettir. The construction functions to classify or identify something as belonging to the category of activity.

Morphologically, faaliyettir combines the base faaliyet with the copular element dir (in its appropriate vowel-harmony form), producing a formal, declarative predicate. In Turkish, this form is typically used in contexts such as definitions, classifications, or official descriptions rather than in casual speech.

Usage and examples

Faaliyettir appears in sentences like Bu bir faaliyettir, meaning “This is an activity.” It is common in dictionaries, encyclopedic entries, reports, or statements that aim to define or categorize something.

Notes

The word is closely related to the base noun faaliyet (activity) and demonstrates Turkish predication with the copula. While it can appear in formal or written Turkish, it is less common in everyday conversation, where speakers may opt for simpler constructions or alternate expressions.
