Kiralanan

Kiralanan is a Turkish term that functions as a participial adjective derived from the verb kiralamak (to rent or lease). It describes something that has been rented or is in the state of being rented and is typically used to modify a noun, as in kiralanan ev (the rented house) or kiralanan mal (leased goods). It is not a standalone noun but a form that appears within noun phrases to indicate lease status.

Etymology and form: Kiralanan results from the passive participle construction of kiralamak. In Turkish grammar, passive participles convey a state produced by an action, and kiralanan agrees with the noun it modifies in number and case. The word can be combined with various nouns to specify the thing that has been leased or is under lease.

Usage and nuance: The related adjective kiralık means “for rent” and describes property that is available to be rented. Kiralanan, by contrast, refers to property that has already been leased or is currently being leased. Examples include: Kiralanan ev bugün boşaltılacak. Kiralanan mallar iade edilmelidir.

Related terms: kiralamak (to rent/lease), kira (rent), kiracı (tenant), kiraya vermek (to lease out). In ordinary speech, many speakers prefer kiralık to advertise rental properties, while kiralanan occurs more often in descriptions, legal language, or statements about lease status.
