sorumluyu

Sorumluyu is a Turkish grammatical form that represents the accusative singular of the adjective-noun sorumlu, meaning “the person in charge” or “the one who is responsible.” In Turkish, definite direct objects are marked with the suffixes -ı, -i, -u, or -ü, which harmonize with the preceding vowel. When sorumlu takes the accusative, it becomes sorumluyu.

In use, sorumluyu functions as the direct object of a verb. For example, in a sentence like “Sorumluyu çağırdılar,” meaning “They called the person in charge,” or “Sorumluyu bulabilir misin?” meaning “Can you find the responsible one?” The form signals a specific, identifiable person referred to as the one who has responsibility in the given context. Although sorumluyu is a valid form, many speakers also use sorumlu as a noun to denote the person in charge in a less inflected way, with the accusative form appearing mainly when emphasized objecthood is needed.

Etymology and related forms: sorumlu derives from Turkish roots meaning “having a duty or charge” and is linked to the noun sorumluluk, meaning “responsibility.” Related terms include sorumluluk (responsibility), sorumlu (responsible person or adjective), and various inflected forms like sorumluluğu (the responsibility) and sorumluluğum (my responsibility). The accusative sorumluyu is one of several grammatical cases that Turkish nouns and adjectives undergo to convey exact syntactic roles.
