Gönderilir

Gönderilir is a Turkish verb form that represents the passive voice of the verb göndermek, meaning to send or to dispatch. Grammatically, it is the third-person singular, simple present passive (is sent / is being sent) and is used when the subject receives the action rather than performs it.

Form and function: In Turkish, the passive is created by adding the suffix -il- to the verb stem and then the present tense ending for the person. For third person singular, the ending is -ir, yielding gönderilir. The form can state general truths, habitual actions, or present occurrences without specifying the agent.

Usage: Gönderilir is used for both physical items and data transmissions. Examples include letters or packages: Mektup gönderilir. Packages are sent. Digital contexts: Dosya gönderilir (The file is sent). The agent performing the sending is often omitted, but can be stated with expressions like tarafindan (by) or by means of a phrase such as posta ile (by mail) or e-posta ile (by email). In formal or written Turkish, the agent may be introduced: Paket, kurye tarafından gönderilir.

Related forms: The present continuous passive is gönderiliyor (is being sent). The past passive is gönderildi (was/were sent). The future passive is gönderilecek or gönderilecektir (will be sent). The root gönder- also yields other derivations, such as gönderici (sender) and gönderilme (the act of being sent).

Etymology: Gönderilir derives from the verb göndermek, rooted in Turkish vocabulary for sending or dispatching objects or information.
