çevrilidir

Çevrilidir is a Turkish verb form derived from çevirmek, meaning to translate, turn, or convert. In grammar it represents the present, passive, third-person singular with the emphatic suffix -dir. The literal sense is “it is translated” or “it is being translated,” and the form is typically used to state a factual translation status in a formal or encyclopedic style.

Morphologically, çevrilidir is built from the passive stem of çevirmek (çevr-), combined with the present tense passive marker (-ilir/-ilir-), and reinforced with the emphatic -dır/ -dir suffix. This combination yields an emphatic, present-tense passive construction. The exact nuance can vary with context, but the form generally signals a definite, statement-like claim about translation.

Usage and context are the main distinctions for çevrilidir. It is most common in dictionaries, reference texts, and formal writing when indicating that a text or term has been translated from another language. It contrasts with çevrilir (plain present passive), çevrildi (past passive), and çevrilecek (future passive), where the emphasis or temporal aspect differs. In everyday Turkish, speakers may prefer simpler forms such as çevrilir or çevrildi, but çevrilidir remains a standard, more formal option.

Examples:

- Bu metin Fransızcadan Türkçeye çevrilidir.

- Bu kelime, İngilizceden Türkçeye çevrilidir.
