kullanmaz

Kullanmaz is the third-person singular negative present form of the Turkish verb kullanmak, meaning to use. It expresses a habitual or general negation in the present tense. The form is built from the verb stem kullan- plus the negative suffix -maz, and it typically does not require an explicit subject, as Turkish verb endings carry person information within the sentence.

In standard Turkish, kullanmaz is used to state that someone or something does not use a tool, device, method, or resource. It can refer to a current habit, a rule, or a general observation, depending on context. For example, "O, bu aracı kullanmaz" means "He does not use this vehicle," and "Bu programı kullanmaz" means "She/He does not use this program." The construction is neutral and common in everyday speech, journalism, and literature.

Kullanmaz can appear in affirmative contexts with a contrasting verb or clause, such as "Kullanır mı? Hayır, kullanmaz." It is also possible to form related expressions with conditional or past forms, like kullanmazdı (would not use) or kullanmazsa (if he does not use). However, the basic form stands as a simple present negation.

Notes: kullanmaz is one of many Turkish negative forms using the -maz/-mez suffix family, which provides negation without an auxiliary verb in many contexts. The word is not a noun or a proper noun, and it does not function as a standalone name or title.
