Tekrarlanmak

Tekrarlanmak is a Turkish verb in its infinitive form that means “to be repeated” or “to occur again.” It represents the passive form of the verb tekrarlamak, which means “to repeat.” In Turkish, tekrarlanmak is formed by applying the passive derivation to the root tekrarlamak, allowing it to function like other verbs with a full range of tenses and moods.

Etymology and related forms: The base is tekrarlamak (to repeat), built from the noun tekrar (repetition) plus a causative/repetitive element. The passive infinitive tekrarlanmak thus expresses a state or event in which the action of repeating affects the subject. Related derivatives include tekrarlanma (repetition or the act of being repeated) and tekrarlanış (recurrence or repetition of an event). The active counterpart is tekrarlamak, and synonyms or near-synonyms include tekrar etmek, which emphasizes the act of repeating rather than the state of being repeated.

Usage: Tekrarlanmak is used to describe actions, events, phrases, or patterns that are repeated or recur. It is common in formal, technical, and narrative Turkish. Its conjugated forms cover multiple tenses, such as tekrarlanır (is repeated), tekrarlanıyor (is being repeated), tekrarlanacaktır (will be repeated), and tekrarlanmıştır (has been repeated). The noun forms tekrarlanma and tekrarlanış are often used in academic or descriptive contexts to denote repetition or recurrence.

Notes: Tekrarlanmak contrasts with tekrarlamak or tekrar etmek, which are active forms meaning “to repeat” as an action performed by the subject. Tekrarlanmak emphasizes the state of being repeated or the occurrence of repetition as something that happens to the subject.
