görülür

Görülür is the third-person singular form of the Turkish verb görmek in the present simple passive. It translates roughly as “is seen” or “can be seen,” and it is used to indicate that something is observable by others or by people in general. The form appears in descriptive statements, reports, and other contexts where the agent performing the seeing is not specified.

Morphology and formation: Turkish forms the present simple passive from the verb root gör- (to see) by adding the passive stem -ül- and the personal ending -ür, yielding görülür. This pattern reflects Turkish’s regular vowel harmony and consonant harmony. Görülür is one member of a family of passive and related forms, such as görülüyor (is being seen) and görüldü (was seen), which share the same root but differ in tense or aspect.

Usage and nuance: Görülür is commonly used for concrete perceptual statements (what is visible) as well as more general observations. Examples include: Bu fotoğrafta ayrıntılar net olarak görülür. (In this photo, the details are seen clearly.) Raporun sonuçları, veriler temel alındığında görülür. (The report’s conclusions are seen when the data are considered.) In analytic or expository prose, görülür can convey a straightforward perceptual claim without specifying the observer.

Related terms: Görülür is related to görünür, which means “visible” or “apparent” in a more qualitative sense, and to görülebilir, the potential passive form meaning “can be seen.” The choice among these forms depends on whether the emphasis is on perception, visibility, or possibility.
