Learn Hardcore Turkish: Proje raporunda kullanılan her terim, sözlükte tanımıyla birlikte verilmiştir. - Every term used in the project report is provided with its definition in the glossary.

It comes from the compound proje raporu (“project report”) plus the locative case -nda (“in”). By vowel harmony it appears as -unda, so proje raporunda literally means “in the project report.”

Why is kullanılan placed before her terim, and what does it mean?

Kullanılan is the passive participle of kullanmak (“to use”), built as kullan- (root) + -ıl- (passive) + -an (participle). It functions like an adjective meaning “used.” In Turkish, participles always precede the noun they modify, so kullanılan her terim = “every term that is used…”

How do you express “that is used in the project report” without a word like “which” or “that”?

Turkish uses participle forms instead of relative pronouns. Here you take kullanmak, turn it passive (kullanılan), and place it (along with its adverbial phrase proje raporunda) before her terim. No extra word is needed.

Why is terim singular after her, and not terimler?

The word her means “each/every” and always takes a singular noun in Turkish. So you say her terim (“each term”), never her terimler.

Why is it sözlükte instead of sözlükde or sözlügde?

The locative suffix is -da/-de. Vowel harmony with the front vowels ö and ü gives -de, and consonant-voicing assimilation after the voiceless k turns d into t, so you write sözlükte = “in the dictionary.”

What does tanımıyla birlikte mean, and why use -yla on tanımı plus birlikte?

Tanımı is “its definition” (noun + 3rd-person possessive). The suffix -yla (a variant of ile) means “with.” Birlikte means “together/along with.” The common formal phrase X ile birlikte (or X -yla birlikte) means “together with X,” so tanımıyla birlikte = “along with its definition.”

How is verilmiştir built, and what tense/mood does it express?

Root ver- (“give”) + passive -il- → veril-, evidential past -miş- → verilmiş, and formal 3rd person -tir → verilmiştir. It’s a passive, perfect-style form often translated as “has been given/provided.” The -miş indicates reported or evidential aspect.

What’s the difference between her terim and tüm terimler?

Both refer to “all the terms,” but her terim emphasizes “each individual term” (singular), whereas tüm terimler treats them as a collective group (plural).

Why is there a comma before sözlükte in the sentence?

In formal Turkish writing, a long subject or introductory clause (here Proje raporunda kullanılan her terim) is often separated by a comma from the main predicate for clarity. It’s optional but common to improve readability.
