uygulanan

Uygulanan is a Turkish past participle form derived from the verb uygulamak, meaning to apply or to implement. It functions as a participial adjective meaning “that has been applied” or “that has been implemented” and is used to describe actions, measures, or methods that are in effect or have been put into practice.

Formation and usage: The participle is formed with the suffix -ılan (or -ülen, depending on vowel harmony) attached to the verb stem, producing a compound adjective that follows the noun: uygulanan yöntemler (the methods that have been applied), uygulanan tedbirler (the measures that have been implemented). In sentences, the phrase typically occurs after the noun to indicate the applied status of the described item.

Context and examples: Uygulanan yöntemler, projenin başarısını belirleyen ana unsurlardan biridir. Rapor, uygulanan tedbirlerin etkisini değerlendirir. The form is common in academic, legal, and policy language to refer to actions or policies that have already been put into practice.

Related forms and distinctions: Uygulamalı, another related term, is used as an adjective meaning “applied” in the sense of practical application, often in fields like applied sciences (uygulamalı bilimler). Uygulanabilir means “applicable” or capable of being implemented. Uygulama, meanwhile, refers to the act or process of applying or the application itself.
