Görülmesi

Görüülmesi is a Turkish noun derived from the verb görmek (to see) through the passive stem görül- and the nominalizing suffix -mesi. The result denotes the act or state of being seen, i.e., the process or event of perception by sight, or in some contexts, the things that are to be observed. The standard spelling is görülmesi. The form görüülmesi is not standard Turkish and is generally considered a misspelling or typographical error; in formal writing it should be corrected to görülmesi.

Formation and usage

Görülmesi is an isim fiil (verbal noun) formed from the passive verb görülmek (to be seen) plus -mesi. As a verbal noun, it can function inside noun phrases and clauses. For example, Görülmesi gereken hususlar var means “There are issues that must be observed/considered.” It can serve as the subject or object in a sentence, and it often appears with modifiers that express obligation or necessity, such as gereken (that must be observed) or zaruri (necessary to observe).

Semantic notes

Görülmesi is primarily associated with the act of being observed or noticed, i.e., the observability or perceptibility of something. It is distinct from görünüp/görünmesi (to appear/seem) and from gör- with other nominal suffixes, which yield related but different meanings.

Related terms

Görme (seeing), görünmek (to appear), and gözlem (observation) are etymologically and semantically related concepts. In formal contexts, if the meaning centers on being seen, görülmesi is typically preferred over nonstandard variants.
