Çözülmelidir

Çözülmelidir is a Turkish verbal form meaning that something should be solved or resolved; it expresses obligation or normative expectation in formal or written Turkish. It combines the passive form of çözü- (to solve) with the modal suffix melidir, producing a construction that is typically used in official, legal, policy, or evaluative contexts.

Morphologically, it is built from çözmek (to solve) in its passive stem çözü- with the suffix -l- to form çözül-, and the modal, obligation-marking suffix melidir (a compound of -meli/-malı and dir). The entire form is in the third person singular and is commonly used without an explicit subject, or with a general subject such as “this issue” or “this matter.”

Usage and nuance: çözülmelidir conveys a strong sense of necessity rather than mere suggestion. It is more formal and authoritative than everyday expressions like “çözülmelidir” alternatives such as “çözülmesi gerekir” or “çözmek zorundadır.” It frequently appears in policy documents, guidelines, reports, and normative statements about responsibilities or required actions.

Common contexts include political, administrative, legal, or organizational writing where a problem, dispute, or crisis is described as something that must be addressed and resolved. While closely related to other obligation forms, çözülmelidir emphasizes the outcome—solving the issue—more than the process.

Examples:

- Bu sorun en kısa sürede çözülmelidir.

- Krizin hızlı şekilde giderilmesi için kararlar alınmalı ve uygulanmalıdır, bu nedenle bu mesele çözülmelidir.
