tekrarlayan

Tekrarlayan is a Turkish adjective and participle meaning "repeating" or "recurrent." It is derived from tekrarlamak, to repeat. The form tekrarlayan functions as a present participle and is used to describe actions, events, or states that occur again and again. It can modify a noun, for example tekrarlayan enfeksiyonlar (recurrent infections) or tekrarlayan ağrılar (recurrent pains), and it can appear in relative clauses: Bu durum tekrarlayan bir sorundur (This situation is a recurring problem).

Tekrarlayan contrasts with tekrarlanan, the passive participle meaning "that has been repeated" or "repeated" in a completed sense. The related noun tekrarlama denotes the act of repeating, while tekrarlayıcı refers to a repeater or repeating device in some contexts. The form tekrarlayanlar would mean "those who repeat" in specialized registers, though it is not common in everyday speech.

Turkish speakers use tekrarlayan across domains such as medicine, psychology, and literature to express recurrence or repetition, and it is a standard term in grammar for constructing relative clauses or compound adjectives describing repetition.
