sindiremez

Sindiremez is a Turkish verb form meaning "cannot subdue," "cannot suppress," or "cannot withstand." It is used both in literal senses (to physically suppress or subdue someone or something) and in figurative senses (to overcome emotions, opposition, or difficult situations).

Morphologically, sindiremez is the present-tense negative third-person singular form of the verb sindirmek, which means to subdue, suppress, or digest. The form is constructed with the negation suffix -mez attached to the verb stem and can take different subjects, e.g., o (he/she/it), onlar (they), or a proper noun.

Usage notes include that sindiremez can convey resilience or strength in the face of pressure, but it can also describe something that cannot be contained or subdued by force. It is common in both everyday speech and written Turkish, including news reports and literary text, where a speaker or writer wants to emphasize that a force, obstacle, or emotion remains uncontrolled.

Examples:

- Düşman bu direnişi sindiremez. (The enemy cannot subdue this resistance.)

- Korkularını sindiremez. (He cannot suppress his fears.)

Etymology: the word derives from the verb sindirmek, itself rooted in Turkish vocabulary, with sindir- as the stem related to digestion or suppression, extended by standard Turkish negation and person-marking affixes.
