birletirilmek

Birleştirilmek is a Turkish verb form meaning to be merged, combined, or united. The standard spelling is birleştirilmek. The form is the passive infinitive of birleştirmek, a verb meaning to merge or unite; it is built from the root birleşt- (to merge) with the passive suffix -il and the infinitive suffix -mek.

Etymology and formation: Birleştirilmek derives from birleştirmek, itself a compound built from birleşt- (root meaning to unite or merge) plus -irmek to form a verb, with -il functioning as the passive marker in Turkish. The noun forms birleştirme (the act of merging) and birleştirilmesi (the merging of something as a noun clause) are commonly used in formal language.

Usage and examples: Birleştirilmek is used to describe processes in which entities are to be merged or become unified. It is common in formal, administrative, legal, or technical contexts. Examples include: “İki şirketin birleştirilmesi kararlaştırıldı.” (The merger of two companies was decided.) “Veri tabanları birleştirilmek üzere yapılandırıldı.” (The databases were configured to be merged.) In combination with auxiliary or modal constructions, it can express intention or expectation, such as “birleştirilmek isteniyor” (it is intended to be merged).

Variants and common misspellings: A nonstandard variant is birletirilmek, which is not the normative Turkish form. The correct standard form is birleştirilmek. Related terms include birleştirme (merging), birleşme (union/merger), and bütünleşme (integration).
