dönülemeyecek

dönülemeyecek is a Turkish word that functions as a negated, future passive construction. The base verb is dönmek, meaning “to turn” or “to return.” When the passive suffix –l is attached, the verb becomes dönülmek, which means “to be turned” or “to be returned.” The passive form can be modified with tense and modal suffixes. In this case, the suffix –ecek indicates the future tense for a non‑personal form, and the negation is provided by the prefix e‑, which turns a verb into its negative. Thus, dönülemeyecek literally means “will not be turned” or “cannot be turned in the future.”

Grammatically, dönülemeyecek is an example of a complex verb form. It includes the following morphemes: root dön‑, the passive suffix –ül, the negation marker e‑, the future tense marker –ecek, and the non‑personal marker –m‑ (indicating that it refers to some unspecified subject). The word is typically used in formal written Turkish where an intransitive passive construction is needed to express impossibility or prohibition of a turning action.

Typical contexts include mechanical or mechanical‑like descriptions, such as "Bu vazo dönülemeyecek" (This vase cannot be turned). It can also appear in legal or engineering texts that describe non‑turnable mechanisms, or metaphorically in literature to describe situations that cannot be reversed.

Related lexical items include dönülemez (cannot be turned, present/past), dönülebilir (can be turned), and its negatives “dönmeyecek” (will not turn) or “dönemez” (cannot turn). The formation of such words follows standard Turkish morphological patterns, making dönülemeyecek a useful illustration of passive and future negation in Turkish grammar.
