Gelmesidir

Gelmesidir is a Turkish grammatical form derived from the verb gelmek, meaning to come. It denotes the act or state of coming, roughly translating to “the coming” or “the arrival.” The form is created by taking the verbal noun gelmesi, which means “the coming,” and adding the copular suffix -dir, resulting in gelmesidir. This combination yields a predicative nominal that can function as the subject or subject complement in a sentence, typically in formal or scholarly Turkish.

Morphology and usage: Gelmesidir belongs to the family of nominalizations with an accompanying copula. The -mesi part marks the action as a noun-like entity, while -dir serves to assert or define the phrase in a formal register. Because of its formal tone, gelmesidir is more common in dictionaries, grammar discussions, and historical or philosophical writings than in everyday speech. It is often used to present a term and its definition or to label a concept in analytic or terminological contexts. In contrast, the simple nominalization gelmesi is more frequently found in ordinary prose and speech.

Examples and notes: In definitional or terminological contexts a glossary might present gelmesidir as a headword, for example: gelmesidir — the coming; the act of arriving. In normal prose, speakers are more likely to use gelmesi or alternate expressions rather than gelmesidir. The form illustrates how Turkish can construct precise, formal labels for actions as standalone predicates or terms.
