görevler

Görevler is the plural form of the Turkish noun görev, meaning duties, tasks, assignments, or responsibilities that someone is obligated to perform. The term is used across many contexts to describe what a person or organization is expected to do.

In workplaces, görevler refer to the tasks and responsibilities defined in a job description or work plan, guiding performance and evaluation. In education, they denote assignments given to students, such as projects, problem sets, or essays. In government and public administration, they describe the official duties of civil servants and agencies. In military, emergency services, and other formal organizations, görevler can also refer to missions or operations that must be carried out.

Görevler are often outlined and distributed to ensure clarity in roles and accountability. The concept is closely related to other Turkish terms such as sorumluluk (responsibility or accountability); while görev focuses on the tasks themselves, sorumluluk emphasizes accountability for outcomes.

Usage examples in Turkish typically involve phrases like “görevler” in plural to indicate multiple tasks, or “görev almak” (to take on a task) and “görevleri yerine getirmek” (to fulfill duties). The word is common in both formal and informal language, reflecting its central role in organizing work, study, and civic life.
