maliyettir

Maliyettir is a Turkish term related to the concept of cost or expense. It is formed from the noun maliyet (cost) with the predicative suffix -tir, a construction used in Turkish to assign identity or definition to a subject in a finite clause. In this sense, maliyettir can function as a predicate meaning “is the cost” or “represents the cost,” often appearing in formal or analytical Turkish.

Linguistically, the root maliyet refers to the total amount required for production, procurement, or operation, including materials, labor, and overhead. The form maliyettir is typically used in contexts that emphasize or define what something amounts to in terms of cost, rather than in everyday speech. It is most commonly encountered in economic, budgeting, or project evaluation discussions and in written Turkish.

Usage and examples vary by context. In business or analysis, maliyettir may appear in statements that equate a result or decision with its financial implication: Bu projenin maliyettir. (This is the cost of the project.) While maliyet remains the standard noun for “cost,” the predicative form maliyettir highlights the cost as a definitional or focal element in a discourse. Related terms include maliyet (cost), gider (expense), bedel (price), and phrases like maliyet analizi (cost analysis) or maliyet-fayda değerlendirmesi (cost-benefit assessment).
