yöneltilmek

Yöneltilmek is a Turkish verb that translates to "to be directed," "to be aimed," or "to be oriented." It is the passive form of the verb yöneltmek, which means "to direct," "to aim," or "to orient."

The verb typically describes a situation where something or someone is subjected to a force, intention, or focus. For instance, a question can be yöneltilmek towards a specific person, meaning it is directed at them. Similarly, criticism can be yöneltilmek towards a particular policy, indicating that the policy is the target of the criticism. In a more literal sense, a beam of light or a physical object can also be yöneltilmek in a certain direction.

The context in which yöneltilmek is used is crucial for understanding its precise meaning. It implies an active agent or force that is doing the directing or aiming, and the subject of the verb is the recipient of that action. This can range from abstract concepts like attention or blame being directed, to concrete actions like a weapon or a gaze being aimed. The passive construction emphasizes the state of being the target rather than the one performing the action.
