büyütülüp

Büyütülüp is a Turkish verbal participle form derived from the verb büyütmek, meaning to enlarge or to magnify. It is built from the root büyüt-, with the passive suffix -ül- and the conjunctive participle suffix -üp, forming a non-finite clause that can be linked to a following predicate. The meaning is roughly “having been enlarged” or “after being enlarged,” and it is used to express a sequence of actions without repeating the subject.

In usage, büyütülüp typically connects two clauses and indicates that the second action follows or occurs after the enlargement. It is common in written Turkish, including descriptive prose, manuals, reports, and media language. The form can convey literal enlargement (physical size) or figurative exaggeration, depending on context. For example, in literal usage: “Fotoğraf büyütülüp çerçeveye asıldı” means the photo was enlarged and hung in a frame. In figurative or sensational contexts: “Haber büyütülüp yayıldı” suggests the news was magnified and spread.

Notes on nuance: because büyütülüp forms a dependent non-finite clause, the agent performing the enlargement is often omitted and inferred from context. This construction helps create concise, tightly linked sentences, especially in narrative or explanatory texts. While common in formal Turkish, it may appear less frequently in everyday spoken language, where simpler constructions are preferred.
