-mış hesab olunmaq
Deemed Completed or Valid
The pattern -mış hesab olunmaq is used in legal, administrative, and formal contexts to declare that something is 'deemed' or 'considered' to have reached a specific status. It marks an objective transition from a process to a legally binding state.
How It Works
In Azerbaijani formal writing, establishing the status of an action is critical. The pattern -mış hesab olunmaq (or its synonyms -mış hesab edilmək and -mış sayılmaq) serves this purpose.
1. Morphological Structure:
The pattern follows vowel harmony rules for the participle:
- -mış: after a, ı (e.g., yazılmış)
- -miş: after e, i (e.g., bitmiş)
- -muş: after o, u (e.g., oxunmuş)
- -müş: after ö, ü (e.g., görülmüş)
2. Usage Contexts:
This is rarely used in daily conversation. You will find it in:
- Legal Contracts: Defining when a payment is 'deemed' paid.
- Legislation: Stating when a law is 'deemed' to have entered into force.
- Academic Regulations: Stating when an exam is 'deemed' failed or passed.
3. Passive Voice Requirement:
Because the subject is usually the object of the consideration (the law, the project, the vote), the auxiliary must be in the passive voice (olunmaq, edilmək, or sayılmaq). Using the active hesab etmək would imply the subject itself is doing the 'considering'.
4. Negation:
In formal legal texts, you may need to state that an action is not deemed valid. The auxiliary verb is negated by adding the general verbal negation suffix (e.g., hesab olunmur or hesab edilmir). For example: Ödəniş vaxtında edilmədikdə, o, ödənilmiş hesab olunmur. (If the payment is not made on time, it is not deemed paid.)

The contract is deemed to have entered into force from the moment it is signed.

This is a standard legal clause using the passive 'hesab olunur' to define the legal start of a contract.
- Tapşırıq vaxtında təqdim edilmədikdə, yerinə yetirilməmiş hesab olunur.
If the assignment is not submitted on time, it is considered not completed.

Here, the negative participle '-mış' is used to declare a negative status (not completed).
- Səsvermədə iştirak edənlərin yarısından çoxu lehinə səs verdikdə, qərar qəbul edilmiş hesab olunur.
When more than half of the participants vote in favor, the decision is deemed adopted.
Word by Word: Voting-in participation doing-ones' half-from more-its favor-to voice gave-when, decision acceptance done accounted is-being.
This demonstrates the use of the pattern in procedural or parliamentary contexts.
- Ödəniş bank hesabına daxil olduğu tarixdən icra olunmuş hesab edilir.
The payment is considered executed from the date it enters the bank account.
Word by Word: Payment bank account-to entry being date-from execution done accounted is-done.
This example uses the synonym 'hesab edilir' which is interchangeable with 'hesab olunur' in formal registers.
Common Mistakes
Using the active voice instead of the passive voice for the auxiliary.
Qanun qüvvəyə minmiş hesab edir.Qanun qüvvəyə minmiş hesab olunur.The law cannot 'consider' itself; it must 'be considered' (passive) by the legal system or the parties involved.
Using the simple past tense suffix instead of the perfective participle.
İş bitdi hesab olunur.İş bitmiş hesab olunur.The pattern strictly requires the '-mış' participle to function as an adjective/status marker before the auxiliary.
