tirilir

Tirilir is a Turkish verb form that serves as the present passive in Turkish conjugation. In Turkish, the passive voice is created by inserting the morpheme -ıl- between the verb stem and the present tense suffix, with vowel harmony determining whether the final suffix is -ır, -ir, -er, or -ur. The surface form "tirilir" therefore expresses "it is [verb]-ed" with the action done to the subject by an external agent. The exact lexical meaning depends on the root verb; tirilir on its own does not carry a standalone meaning and functions as a grammatical form. For comparison, with the root yap- (to do), the present passive yields yapılır (it is done).

Beyond this, tirilir is commonly cited in linguistic descriptions as an example of Turkish present-passive morphology. It also illustrates how Turkish combines a passive marker with the present tense suffix in accordance with vowel harmony. In broader Turkic grammar, a similar -ıl- passive pattern appears in related languages, though forms vary by language.
