etkileirler

Etkileirler is a Turkish verb form meaning “they influence” or “they affect.” It is the present simple (simple present) tense in the third-person plural, derived from the verb etkilemek, which means to influence or to affect. Turkish verbs are highly agglutinative, and the present tense forms are built by attaching person and number suffixes to the verb stem. In this case, the stem etkile- combines with the present-tense plural suffix to yield etkileirler.

Morphology and usage. The form etkileirler represents a plural subject acting in the present. Turkish present-tense endings vary by person and number, and the third-person plural ending commonly appears as -irler or as a closely related -ler form, depending on phonological considerations such as vowel harmony and consonant harmony. The exact surface spelling can vary in standard usage, but etkileirler is consistently interpreted as “they influence” in formal or written Turkish.

Semantics and context. Etkilemak, and by extension etkileirler, is used across domains such as politics, media, sociology, marketing, and everyday speech to indicate that a person, group, event, or process exerts influence on people, opinions, outcomes, or situations. It can convey direct causal influence or more indirect effects, depending on context. Related terms include etkilenmek (to be affected) and etkileyici (influential or impressive).
