üreyemez

Üreyemez is a Turkish term meaning “cannot reproduce” or “is infertile.” It derives from the verb üremek (to reproduce) with the negation suffix -mez, and is used primarily to describe organisms, individuals, or populations that cannot produce offspring under given conditions. The related form üreyebilir means “to be able to reproduce,” and üreyemez is its negative counterpart. The word can be inflected for person and number; examples include üreyemez (he/she/it cannot reproduce), üreyemezler (they cannot reproduce), and üreyemezsin (you cannot reproduce).

In usage, üreyemez appears in biology, veterinary science, ecology, and agriculture when discussing fertility, sterility, or reproductive barriers. It can refer to congenital infertility, acquired infertility, or environmental factors that suppress reproduction. The term is neutral and descriptive, not pejorative, though tone depends on context.

Examples: In a research note, one might write: “Bu balık türü şu anda üreyemez,” which translates to “This fish species cannot reproduce at the moment.” Another example: “Bu dişi köpek şu anda üreyemez,” meaning “This female dog cannot reproduce at the moment.”
