ölçülen

ölçülen is a Turkish verbal adjective (a participle) formed from the verb ölçmek, meaning to measure. It is produced with the passive participle suffix -ülen, yielding a word that means “that has been measured” or “measured.” In ordinary use it functions as an attributive modifier and can describe a noun, much like an adjective.

As a participle, ölçülen typically precedes the noun it modifies: ölçülen değerler (the measured values), ölçülen mesafe (the measured distance), ölçülen sonuçlar (the measured results). It can also occur in relative clauses: veriler, ölçülen değerler. Turkish participles do not show gender, and they agree with the noun in number and case when declined in sentences.

In context, ölçülen is common in scientific, engineering, statistical, and metrological language to distinguish actual measured data from estimated, predicted, or calculated data. It helps clarify that the information stems from observation rather than inference. The term is often contrasted with ölçülen olmayan (not measured) or with related forms such as ölçüm (measurement) and ölçek (scale), which refer to the process or instrument rather than the result.

Notes on related forms: ölçeklemek (to scale), ölçmek (to measure), ölçüm (measurement), and ölçülmek (to be measured). While ölçülen describes the result of measuring, ölçülmüş can also be used to convey a completed action with a perfect nuance in some contexts.
