emdirilerek

Emdirilerek is a Turkish adverbial participle form derived from the verb emdirilmek, meaning to cause someone to swallow or to force ingestion. The word literally conveys the idea of performing an action by making the subject swallow what is given, rather than by drinking or taking it voluntarily.

Morphologically, emdirilerek combines the causative-passive stem emdir- with the passive suffix -il- and the adverbial participle suffix -erek, producing a clause that indicates the manner of an action: “by being made to swallow” or “by forcing to swallow.” It is used to describe how something is administered or carried out.

Usage in Turkish is typically formal or technical, common in medical, caregiving, or historical writing rather than in everyday speech. It often appears in descriptions of administration procedures where swallowing is required, such as medications or contrasting methods of delivery. For example, ilac emdirilerek verildi translates to “the medicine was administered by forcing it to be swallowed.” The form emphasizes the method rather than the outcome.

Context and related terms: emdirilmek (to be made to swallow) is related to other causative and ingestive forms, such as içirilerek (by making someone drink). Emdirilerek tends to appear in instructional, clinical, or documentary contexts where precise description of procedure matters.
