ödenir

Ödenir is the present passive form of the Turkish verb ödemek, meaning to pay. It translates roughly as “is paid” or “will be paid” depending on context, and it is used to indicate that payment is required or made by an unspecified agent.

Morphology and usage: Ödenir is formed from the stem öde- with the passive marker -n- and the present tense ending -ir, yielding the form ödenir. In Turkish, the agent of a passive clause can be omitted or expressed with a by-phrase, while the subject is the thing that receives the action of payment. The form is common in general statements, notices, contracts, and signage where payment is described as a standard or expected action.

Examples:

- Bu hizmet için ücret ödenir. (A fee is paid for this service.)

- Giriş ücreti ödenir. (An entrance fee is paid.)

- İptal halinde toplam tutar ödenir. (In case of cancellation, the total amount is paid.)

Related terms and notes: Ödenir is closely related to ödemek (to pay) and ödeme (payment). It is typically used in impersonal, contractual, or rule-based contexts rather than in active narration. While it expresses a payment action, the agent performing the payment is often unspecified, focusing on the obligation or outcome rather than who pays.
