Görülen

Görülen is a Turkish word derived from the verb görmek (to see). It functions as a participle and an adjective, conveying the sense of “seen,” “that is seen,” or “apparent.” It is commonly used to describe something perceived or to express the notion of apparentness in a statement about evidence, effects, or observations.

In Turkish grammar, görülen is used to form relative clauses and predicative adjectives. It can modify a noun directly, as in görülen yer (the place seen) or the observed place, and it also appears in noun phrases such as görülenler (the things that have been seen). The sense ranges from neutral “observed” to evaluative “apparent,” depending on context. The form is related to other participles derived from görmek, such as gören (the one who sees) and görünen (the apparent/visible).

Usage notes:

- Common contexts include scientific or observational language: “Görülen sonuçlar olumlu.” (The observed results are positive.)

- It can carry a sense of evidence or appearance: “Görülen gerçek, saklanan gerçeğin tersineydi.” (The apparent truth was the opposite of the hidden truth.)

- It often appears in compound phrases with nouns like sonuçlar, kanıt, durum, and yer.
