Yorumlanan

Yorumlanan is a Turkish adjective and participle formed from the verb yorumlamak, meaning to comment, interpret, or discuss. The form is created by adding the passive participle suffix -ılan (or -ilen, depending on vowel harmony) to the verb stem, yielding yorumlanan. It conveys the sense of “that is being commented on” or “that has been commented on,” highlighting a noun that has undergone commentary or interpretation. In Turkish grammar, participles with this meaning function as adjectives that relate a noun to the process of commentary or analysis.

Yorumlanan is commonly used in academic, journalistic, and literary contexts to describe content that has been examined or debated. For example: "Yorumlanan eser" means “the work under discussion” or “the work that has been interpreted,” and "Yorumlanan veriler" refers to data that have been interpreted or analyzed. The phrase can be used attributively, as in "yorumlanan görüşler," or predicatively within a sentence, such as "Bu metin, yorumlanan bir çalışmanın parçasıdır." Translations include “the text under discussion,” “the interpreted data,” or “the views being commented on.”

Related forms include "yorumlayan," the agentive form meaning “the one who comments,” and "yorumlanmış," the past participle meaning “already commented on” or “has been interpreted.” The nuance you convey with yorumlanan depends on context, but it generally signals that commentary or interpretation has taken place.
