hesab olunur ki
Evaluative Formula Hesab Olunur Ki
Use hesab olunur ki to introduce a statement as a widely held belief, an expert opinion, or a general consensus. It is the Azerbaijani equivalent of the English passive reporting voice ('It is thought that...').
How It Works
The formula hesab olunur ki is a staple of formal Azerbaijani syntax. It functions as an evidential frame, signaling that the information following it is not just the speaker's subjective thought, but rather a result of analysis, tradition, or expert agreement.
Key Characteristics:
- Register: Primarily used in academic writing, journalism, and official reports. In casual speech, Azerbaijanis prefer deyirlər ki (they say that) or düşünürlər ki (they think that).
- Structure: It is an independent introductory clause. The word ki must always be followed by a comma in standard writing.
- Flexibility: While usually in the present tense, it can be adapted to the past (hesab olunurdu ki - it was considered that) or used with modals (hesab oluna bilər ki - it can be considered that).
This pattern is functionally identical to hesab edilir ki, though olunur is slightly more common in modern media.
