Questions & Answers about Şikâyet edilen tüketici talebini okudu.
What does şikâyet edilen mean literally?
It is a participle phrase meaning the one who is/was complained about.
It comes from the compound verb şikâyet etmek, which means to complain about or to report someone/something. Turkish often builds verbs this way: a noun plus etmek.
So here:
- şikâyet = complaint
- etmek = to do/make
- şikâyet etmek = to complain about
- şikâyet edilen = the one complained about
Placed before tüketici, it works like the consumer who was complained about.
Why is it edilen and not eden?
Because eden and edilen mean different things.
- şikâyet eden tüketici = the consumer who complained
- şikâyet edilen tüketici = the consumer who was complained about
The difference is the passive marker inside edilen:
- eden = active, doing
- edilen = passive, being done / being acted on
So if the consumer is the target of the complaint, edilen is the correct form.
Where is the Turkish word for who was in the consumer who was complained about?
