Siniflandirilir

Siniflandirilir is the present passive form of the Turkish verb siniflandırmak, meaning to classify or to categorize. It translates roughly as “is classified” or “is categorized” and is used to describe processes in which something is subjected to classification by an agent, often in an impersonal or general sense.

Morphologically, siniflandirilir consists of the verb stem siniflandir- plus the passive suffix ıl, with the present tense marker implied by the form. In Turkish, the present passive for third person singular is rendered as siniflandirilir, while the third person plural would be siniflandirilirlar. Turkish words may appear without diacritics in digital contexts as siniflandirilir, omitting the letters ı and ı’s dotless form found in proper Turkish orthography.

In usage, siniflandirilir appears in academic, administrative, and technical texts to state that items are placed into categories or groups. Examples include: Bu dosya sınıflandırılır. (This file is classified.) Veriler belirlenen kriterlere göre siniflandirilir. (The data are classified according to defined criteria.) The form can be employed in general statements about classification procedures, taxonomy, data organization, and library or information science.

Related concepts include sınıflandırma (classification), sınıflandırıcı (classifier or algorithm that assigns categories), and sınıflandırılan (classified, as a participial form). The term exemplifies Turkish passive voice in present tense and demonstrates how classification processes are described in neutral, descriptive prose.
