Tetiklemeli

Tetiklemeli is a Turkish adjective used to describe something that is activated or started by a trigger or triggering mechanism. It is formed from the noun tetik (trigger) with the suffix -lemeli, which denotes that the thing has or requires a trigger to operate. In general use, tetiklemeli refers to systems, devices, or processes designed to be initiated by a triggering condition rather than by continuous action.

Etymology and usage notes: The term comes from tetiklemek, the Turkish verb meaning “to trigger,” combined with -lemeli to form an adjective indicating dependency on a trigger. It is commonly applied across technical domains to signal trigger-based operation.

Applications and contexts: In firearms and mechanical engineering, tetiklemeli describes equipment that functions when the trigger is actuated, distinguishing trigger-operated mechanisms from other firing or activation modes. In electronics and software, tetiklemeli systems are event-triggered, initiating actions in response to signals, sensor input, or time-based conditions, and are common in automation, alarms, and data processing pipelines. In photography and video, tetiklemeli devices may start recording or capture when a trigger input is received, such as with remote triggers or motion-triggered setups.

Related terms and distinctions: Other Turkish terms related to this concept include tetiklemek (to trigger), tetikleyici (triggering element), and tetikleme (triggering). The exact meaning and emphasis of tetiklemeli can vary by field, but the core idea is a design or state that relies on a trigger to initiate action.
