Yükümlülüklerdir

Yükümlülüklerdir is a predicative form in Turkish that combines the noun yükümlülük (obligation, duty) with the plural suffix -ler and the copula -dir. The expression literally means “they are obligations” and is used in formal or official contexts to identify duties or responsibilities as a matter of fact. In Turkish grammar, -dir functions as a declarative marker, often appearing in written or juridical language to make a determinate assertion.

In a linguistic sense, yükümlülük is a broad term for duties or commitments imposed by laws, rules, contracts, or social expectations. The plural yükümlülükler covers multiple duties. The ending -dir in yükümlülüklerdir signals that the speaker is making a definitive claim about what these duties are, rather than merely listing them.

In legal and administrative contexts, yükümlülükler refer to duties that a person, organization, or public authority is obliged to fulfill. They can arise from contracts (contractual obligations), tort or delict-like situations (delictual or quasi-delictual obligations), or statutory provisions (statutory obligations). The performance, breach, and remedy of these obligations are central topics in civil and administrative law. Remedies may include damages, specific performance, or other legal measures.

Examples of usage include: “Sözleşmede tarafların yerine getirmesi gereken işlemler yükümlülüklerdir.” and “Vergi yükümlülükleri, mükellefin devlet karşısındaki yasal sorumluluklarıdır.” These illustrate how yükümlülüklerdir functions to label duties as formal obligations within a sentence. Synonyms include borç, yükümlülük, sorumluluk, with nuanced differences in emphasis between debt, duty, and responsibility.
