Ödenen

Ödenen is a Turkish word that functions as a passive participle formed from the verb ödemek, meaning to pay. It conveys the sense of “paid” or “that has been paid” and is used to describe nouns that are already settled or cleared, especially in financial or transactional contexts. In Turkish grammar, the suffix -en attaches to a verb stem to form a participle, and with ödemek it yields ödenen.

Ödenen is typically used attributively to modify a noun. Common examples include ödenen borç (the debt that has been paid), ödenen faturalar (the invoices that have been paid), and ödenen tutar (the amount that has been paid). The form emphasizes the completed payment status of the described item. For predicative uses, Turkish often prefers verb forms such as ödenmiştir or ödenmiş, while ödenen appears most naturally in noun phrases and relative clauses.

Etymology and related forms: ödenen derives from the verb ödemek via the participle suffix -en. Related nouns include ödeme (payment) and ödemek (to pay). The language distinguishes between participial forms like ödenen and perfect or past participles such as ödenmiş, which are used in different syntactic positions and styles.
