Sürdürülür

Sürdürülür is a Turkish verb form that means “is maintained,” “is kept up,” or “is sustained.” It is the present tense, indefinite passive form of the verb sürdürmek, which means to maintain, to sustain, or to continue. The passive voice indicates that the focus is on the action’s result rather than the agent performing it.

In Turkish, sürdürülmek forms the passive with the suffix -ül/-l- and the present tense ending -ür. Sürdürülür therefore denotes a generalized or ongoing maintenance action where the doer of the action is either unspecified or understood from context. The subject of the sentence is the thing being maintained, while the agent can be introduced with "tarafından" if needed.

Sürdürülür is commonly used in formal or technical writing, organizational reports, policies, and descriptions of processes or standards that are expected to be kept up over time. It conveys continuity and the expectation that a condition, practice, or standard remains in effect.

Examples:

- Bakım programı düzenli olarak sürdürülür.

- Güvenlik protokolleri, üretim hattında sürdürülür.

- Proje hedefleri, değişen koşullara rağmen sürdürülür.

Related forms include sürdürmek (the infinitive and active form “to maintain/continue”), sürdürülmesi (the noun form “the maintenance/continuation”), and other passive tenses such as sürdürülüyor (present continuous) or sürdürülmüş (past passive). Sürdürülür is a concise way to express ongoing maintenance in Turkish without naming the agent.
