sonucudur

Sonucudur is a Turkish linguistic term describing a finite predicative form that means “is the result.” It is built from the noun sonuç, meaning “result,” combined with the Turkish copular suffix -dur. The form functions as a predicate and asserts that a given subject is the result of a previous context or process.

Morphologically, sonucudur is formed by attaching the copular suffix to the noun, with Turkish vowel harmony shaping the exact suffix form. In standard Turkish orthography the construction is often written as sonuçdur, while ASCII or transliterated text may appear as sonucudur. The form is not a separate lexical item but a grammatical construction used to identify or classify something as the result.

Usage and nuances: sonucudur is most commonly encountered in formal, written Turkish, such as legal, academic, or didactic contexts, where precise predication is valued. In everyday speech, speakers more frequently use alternative expressions to convey the same idea, for example with phrases like bu olayın sonucu budur (the result of this event is this) or through other copular constructions. The form can be used with an explicit subject, as in O bu olayın sonucudur (That is the result of this event), or in broader expository sentences.
