Rapor

Rapor is a noun used in Turkish, Indonesian, and Malay to denote a document that conveys information about a person, event, or subject. In general usage it corresponds to the English word "report," and in educational contexts it is often associated with a school or academic record. The term has been borrowed into several languages from European sources such as French or Dutch.

In Turkish, rapor denotes a formal document produced for an organization, institution, or public authority. It can also refer to a medical or psychological report, often issued by a professional and used to justify illness-related absences, claims, or administrative decisions. Turkish uses phrases like tıbbi rapor (medical report) and rapor örneği (sample report) to specify types of documents.

In Indonesian and Malay, rapor most commonly refers to a school report card that lists subjects, grades, attendance, and teachers’ remarks for a term or academic year. The spelling can vary regionally as rapor or raport, though rapor is more widespread for the educational context. Beyond schools, the term can appear in general reporting contexts to denote summarized information or findings.

Arappropriate usage across languages typically centers on formal documentation, evaluation, or summarization. The word is frequently found in official correspondence, archival records, and educational or professional settings, where a rapor serves as an authoritative account of results, status, or recommendations.
