Sürülen

Sürülen is a Turkish word formed as the past passive participle of the verb sürmek. It functions as an adjective meaning “that has been driven,” “that has been moved forward,” or “that has been herded.” The term is most commonly used in reference to movement of people, livestock, or objects by an agent such as a herder, driver, or other force.

In usage, sürlen describes a state resulting from an action performed on the noun it accompanies. For example, in agrarian or pastoral contexts, it can describe animals that have been driven from one location to another, such as a herd that has been moved to a pasture or market. The form can be applied to nouns in various grammatical positions, agreeing in number with the noun it modifies.

Sürülen is typically found in neutral or descriptive contexts rather than as a standalone event marker. It does not carry direct agency in itself; the agent of the driving action is usually indicated by surrounding syntax or omitted when obvious from context.

Related terms include the base verb sürmek (to drive, to push, to shepherd) and other participles such as sürülen (the current form) used in compound or compound-adjective constructions. The word is distinct from related nouns like sürücü (driver) and from other Turkish participles formed with different suffixes that convey different aspects or voices.
