Uygulanmak

Uy gulanmak is a Turkish verb meaning to be applied or to be implemented. It is the passive form of uygulamak (to apply, to implement). As a passive verb, uygulanmak describes an action that is performed on a subject rather than by a specific agent. The term is common in formal, administrative, legal, educational, and technical contexts where rules, methods, or procedures are put into practice.

Etymology and form: Uygulanmak derives from the verb uygulamak. The standard Turkish passive formation uses the suffix -ıl- (or -l-) plus the infinitive -mak, yielding uygulanmak. This pattern mirrors other Turkish passives such as yapılmak (to be done) and gösterilmek (to be shown).

Usage and nuance: Uygulanmak is used to indicate that a policy, rule, standard, method, or procedure is being put into effect. The agent performing the action is often implicit or unspecified, focusing on the existence or extent of application rather than who does the applying. It appears in legal, administrative, scientific, and educational texts, as well as news reporting on implementations.

Examples:

- Bu kural tüm çalışanlar için uygulanmaktadır. (This rule is being applied to all employees.)

- Protokol şu şartlara göre uygulanacaktır. (The protocol will be implemented according to these conditions.)

- Bu tedavi yöntemi pratikte uygulanabilirlik açısından değerlendirildi ve uygulanmaya başlandı. (This treatment method was evaluated for applicability and began to be applied.)
