sonuçlanan

Sonuçlanan is a Turkish adjective formed from the verb sonuçlanmak, meaning to be concluded or to reach a final outcome. It functions as a past participle in the passive voice and is used to describe nouns that have reached completion or finalization. The word is typically constructed by adding the suffix -lan to a verb stem, then using the resulting participle with the noun it modifies.

In usage, sonuçlanan modifies nouns directly and does not change with the noun’s case; Turkish adjectives generally do not inflect. It is commonly used for events, processes, agreements, investigations, or decisions that have been brought to an end. For example, sonuçlanan dava means “the case that was concluded,” sonuçlanan süreç means “the concluded process,” and sonuçlanan toplantı means “the meeting that has concluded.” In legal, administrative, or media contexts, the term clearly signals that the subject has moved beyond ongoing status to finalization.

Compared with synonyms, sonuçlanan emphasizes the completion of the outcome, whereas gibi contexts might also use tamamlanan (completed) or biten (finished) depending on nuance. It is appropriate in formal writing, official reports, and news reporting where a final status is being described.

Note that, as with other Turkish participles, sonuçlanan can combine with a possessed noun (resulting in phrases like sonuçlanan sürecin raporu) without altering the participle itself; possession is shown on the noun rather than on 결과lanan.
