bahsedilenler

Bahsedilenler is a Turkish noun phrase formed from the verb bahsetmek (to mention), with the passive participle bahsedilen and the plural suffix -ler. The expression literally means “those who are mentioned” or “the mentioned ones.” It is used in Turkish to refer to people or entities that are mentioned in a text or discourse without naming them directly.

Grammatical role: Bahsedilenler functions as a noun phrase and can serve as subject, object, or complement in a sentence. It points to referenced individuals rather than to the speaker or writer, and its meaning relies on the prior context within the discourse. The construction is common in journalism, literary analysis, and narrative writing when the identities of certain actors are already implied by the surrounding text.

Usage and examples:

- Bu paragrafta bahsedilenler arasında Ahmet ve Elif de vardı. (In this paragraph, among the ones mentioned were Ahmet and Elif.)

- Gazetede bahsedilenler arasında ünlü sanatçılar yer alıyor. (Among those mentioned in the newspaper are famous artists.)

- Bahsedilenler kimlerdir? (Who are the ones mentioned?)

Notes: Bahsedilenler emphasizes the discourse-based reference to people or entities already identified or implied in the text, rather than providing new or explicit names. Its clarity depends on enough context to establish who the mentioned ones are.
