sorumlu

Sorumlu is a Turkish word that functions as both an adjective and a noun. As an adjective, it means responsible, accountable, or liable. As a noun, it denotes the person in charge or the party responsible for a task or outcome. In practice, sorumlu is used to designate roles such as “sorumlu müdür” (the manager in charge) or “sorumlu kişi” (the responsible person), and it appears in sentences like “Bu işin sorumlusu kim?” (Who is responsible for this task?).

Etymology and related terms

The term is connected to the Turkish noun “sorumluluk,” which means responsibility or liability. Sorumlu is formed with the suffix -lu, meaning “having” or “bearing,” from a root related to responsibility. Related concepts include sorumluluk (responsibility), sorumlu olmak (to take responsibility), and various compound titles that use sorumlu to specify accountability.

Usage and context

Sorumlu is commonly used in administrative, corporate, legal, and everyday contexts to clarify accountability. It can modify a noun directly (sorumlu müdür) or stand as a noun on its own in certain constructions (the sorumlu). It helps assign liability and clarify duties within organizations, projects, and procedures.
