ilikilendirilen

Ilikilendirilen is not a recognized entry in standard Turkish dictionaries. In most cases where this form appears in text, it is either a misspelling of ilgilendirilen or a nonstandard coinage. The more common and attested form is ilgilendirilen, which is encountered in Turkish grammar and usage discussions.

Morphology and meaning: ilgilendirilen is a participial form built from the verb ilgilendirmek, meaning to cause someone to be interested or to draw attention to something. The root ilgi refers to interest or attention. The causative stem ilgilendir- expresses making someone become interested, and the suffix -ilen marks a past participle, yielding a meaning akin to “the one who has been made interested” or “the one who has had attention aroused.” In practice, ilgilendirilen describes a person or entity that has received attention or interest from others.

Usage and nuance: In Turkish, ilgilendirilen functions as an adjectival phrase modifying a noun, often in reference to subjects of attention in a discussion, report, or narrative. It contrasts with ilgi gösteren (the one who shows interest) or ilgilenen (the one who is interested). The choice of form reflects who initiated the attention and the temporal relation of the interest.

Common variants and cautions: The most frequent and standard form is ilgilendirilen. Writers should be aware that ilikilendirilen is likely a typographical error or an unconventional variant. When documenting or researching, prefer ilgilendirilen and related forms such as ilgilendirmek (to interest) and ilgilenmek (to be interested) for clarity.
