çekimlenir

Çekimlenir is a Turkish verb form used in grammar to describe something that is inflected or conjugated. The term is built from çekim, meaning inflection or conjugation in Turkish grammar, together with the suffix -len, which marks a reflexive or middle voice, and the present tense suffix -ir, yielding a third-person singular present tense form. In linguistic descriptions, çekimlenir functions as a generic description of the process by which a word changes form to express grammatical categories such as tense, aspect, mood, person, and number.

In practice, çekimlenir appears mainly in academic or instructional contexts rather than in everyday speech. A sentence such as “Bu kelime çekimlenir” can be understood as “This word is inflected/conjugated” or “This word undergoes inflection.” Turkish morphology is highly agglutinative, so the concept of inflection is central to how words carry grammatical information through sequences of suffixes; çekimlenir serves as a concise way to reference that broader process.

Etymology and related terms: çekim refers to the process or result of inflection, while çekimlemek (or its related forms) denotes the act or method of inflecting. The form çekimlenir thus appears within discussions of Turkish syntax and morphology to illustrate how words adapt their endings to fit grammatical context.
