bildirilir ki
Impersonal Reported Statement
Used in news, official documents, and academic writing to report information without naming a specific person as the source. It translates to 'It is reported that...' or 'It is stated that...'
How It Works
The expression bildirilir ki is the gold standard for formal reporting in Azerbaijani. It allows a writer to present facts or official statements objectively.
1. Morphological Breakdown:
- bil-: The root meaning 'to know'.
- -dir-: The causative suffix, turning 'to know' into 'to inform/make known'.
- -il-: The passive suffix, turning 'to inform' into 'to be informed/reported'.
- -ir: The present tense suffix.
- ki: The subordinating conjunction 'that'.
2. Punctuation:
In Azerbaijani, a comma must follow the conjunction ki when it introduces a subordinate clause. Example: Bildirilir ki, ...
3. Usage Context:
This pattern is rarely used in casual speech. If you are talking to a friend, you would use deyirlər ki (they say that). Use bildirilir ki when writing a report, a news article, or an official announcement.

It is reported from official sources that no one was injured as a result of the incident.

It is stated in the article that the application of this method yields effective results.

In academic contexts, this pattern is often translated as 'it is stated' or 'it is indicated'.
- Nazirlikdən bildirilir ki, imtahanın vaxtı dəyişdirilib.
It is reported from the Ministry that the exam time has been changed.
Word by Word: Ministry-from it is reported that, exam-of time changed-was.
Using the passive form allows the focus to remain on the information rather than the specific official who spoke.
Common Mistakes
Placing the comma before 'ki' or omitting it.

Using a nominative subject with the passive verb.
Nazirlik bildirilir ki...Nazirlikdən bildirilir ki...If you name the source, you must use the ablative case (from the Ministry) or use the active verb 'bildirir' (the Ministry reports).
