belirtir

Belirtir is a Turkish verb meaning to indicate, state, or point out. It is the third-person singular present tense form of belirtmek, a commonly used verb in Turkish that expresses mentioning information, facts, or details. In everyday and formal language, belirtmek and its inflected forms convey that someone is making an explicit statement about something.

Grammatical notes: belirtir functions as a transitive verb, typically taking a direct object or noun phrase that identifies what is being indicated. It can also introduce reported content with a ki clause, as in statements that something "states that" a fact or condition. Turkish verb forms for other subjects and tenses exist by applying the usual suffixes to the belirt- root; belirtmek is the base verb from which belirtir is derived.

Usage and typical contexts: belirtir is common in written Turkish, including journalism, academic writing, and official reports, where authors want to attribute an observation or finding to a person or source. It is often paired with factual language to present conclusions, observations, or data clearly and directly. The verb carries a neutral, descriptive tone appropriate for conveying information without embellishment.

Examples:

- Rapor, hataları belirtir. (The report indicates the errors.)

- Yetkili, sorunun kaynağını belirtir. (The official states the source of the problem.)

- Bulgular, katılanların görüşlerini belirtir. (The findings indicate the participants’ views.)
