Tutulacak

Tutulacak is a Turkish word that functions as the future passive participle of the verb tutmak, meaning to hold, keep, retain, or detain. The form is built from the verb stem tut-, combined with the passive marker -ul- and the future suffix -acak (with vowel harmony giving -acak or -ecek). Grammatically, tutulacak can act as an adjective or as part of a verbal construction to describe something that will be held or kept in the future, or someone who will be detained by someone else.

Usage examples illustrate its range. Eşyalar güvenli bir odada tutulacak means the belongings will be kept in a secure room. Giriş kartları kapıda tutulacak indicates the cards will be kept at the door. Şüpheliler güvenlik nedeniyle gözaltında tutulacak expresses that the suspects will be detained for security reasons. In formal contexts, tutulacak can appear in phrases about planned states of objects or people, often where the emphasis is on future custody or retention.

It is important to differentiate tutulacak from tutuklanacak, the future passive of tutuklamak, which means to arrest. While both can translate as “will be held” in some contexts, tutuklanacak specifically refers to legal arrest, whereas tutulacak more generally denotes keeping, holding, or retaining, potentially by a non-legal holder.

Etymology and form: rooted in tut-, with the passive marker -ul- and the future suffix -acak, following Turkish vowel harmony. The word is common in both formal and everyday Turkish and is used to convey a future state of being held, kept, or detained.
