When you need help or information from an official source, you'll look for a yetkili. Think of a yetkili as someone who has the authority to do something or provide specific information. For instance, if you're at a bank and have a question about your account, you'd ask to speak to a yetkili. Similarly, if you're at a government office, the person who can assist you with your paperwork is the yetkili.
When you hear yetkili, think of someone who has the power to do something. This person is 'authorized' or 'official' in their role. They have the authority to make decisions or take action. For example, if you need help at a store, you might ask to speak to the yetkili. They are the go-to person with the right to assist you.
When you hear the word "yetkili" in Turkish, think of someone who has the authority or the official power to do something. This could be a person who is authorized to make decisions, or an official representative in a specific role. For example, a bank manager is a "yetkili" at the bank, or a government official is a "yetkili" in their department. It's about having the proper authorization or being in an official capacity.
When you're at the B2 level in Turkish, you're expected to understand and use words like 'yetkili' comfortably. This word is really useful in everyday situations where you might need to refer to someone in charge or someone who has the authority to make decisions.
Think about scenarios like going to a government office, a bank, or even asking for help at a store. You'll often be looking for the 'yetkili' person. It's a very common and practical term.
When using the word "yetkili," it's often paired with a possessive suffix to indicate whose authority is being referred to. For example, "okul yetkilisi" means "school official."
It can also be used with a genitive construction like "Bakanlığın yetkilileri" meaning "the Ministry's authorized persons."
In more formal contexts, you might see it used as an adjective, such as "yetkili makam" for "authorized body."
Remember that "yetkili" implies a level of official power or permission, so it's not used for just anyone who is allowed to do something, but rather someone who holds a position of authority.
§ Understanding 'Yetkili'
The Turkish word yetkili (pronounced yet-KEE-lee) is an important vocabulary item for anyone learning Turkish. It generally translates to 'authorized person' or 'official'. Think of it as someone who has the power or authority to do something, or to represent an organization. It's a noun, but it can also function like an adjective when describing someone as 'authorized'.
§ Basic Usage: Identifying an Authorized Person
You'll often use yetkili when you need to specify that someone is the correct or designated person to handle a situation. This is common in formal settings, customer service, or when seeking permission or information.

Bize yardımcı olabilecek bir yetkili var mı?
- Translation hint
- Is there an authorized person who can help us?
§ Using 'Yetkili' as an Adjective (Authorized)
While primarily a noun, yetkili can also describe a person or department. In this context, it functions much like an adjective, meaning 'authorized' or 'competent'. You'll place it before the noun it modifies.
Lütfen yetkili departmanla görüşün.
- Translation hint
- Please speak with the authorized department.
Sadece yetkili personel bu alana girebilir.
- Translation hint
- Only authorized personnel can enter this area.
§ Common Phrases with 'Yetkili'
Here are some common phrases where yetkili is used, which you'll find very practical in everyday Turkish conversations:
Yetkili makamlar: This means 'authorized authorities' or 'competent authorities'. You'll hear this in news or formal discussions.
Yetkili makamlar soruşturma başlattı.
- Translation hint
- Authorized authorities have launched an investigation.
Yetkili servis: This refers to an 'authorized service center'. If your electronic device breaks down, you'd look for its yetkili servis.

Yetkili temsilci: This means 'authorized representative'. This is often used in business or legal contexts.

- Translation hint

§ Formal vs. Informal Usage
Yetkili is generally used in more formal or semi-formal contexts. When you are looking for someone with authority, you're usually in a situation that requires a certain level of formality.
Bir yetkiliye danışmak istiyorum.
- Translation hint
- I want to consult an authorized person (or 'an official').
This sentence uses the dative case (-e) on yetkili to indicate 'to an authorized person'. This is a common grammatical structure you'll encounter.
§ Practice Makes Perfect
The best way to master yetkili is to use it! Try to form your own sentences. Think about situations where you would need to find an 'authorized person' or refer to an 'authorized department' in English, and then try to translate those ideas into Turkish using yetkili.
Alright, let's talk about yetkili. This word is super useful, but many English speakers make a few common blunders. Don't worry, we'll fix them right up. The main thing to remember is that yetkili is primarily a noun in Turkish, meaning an 'authorized person' or 'official'. While it can sometimes function as an adjective, it's a bit more nuanced than its English counterparts like 'authorized' or 'competent'. Let's break down where people usually go wrong.
§ Mistake 1: Using 'yetkili' as a direct adjective for inanimate objects
In English, you might say 'authorized access' or 'competent authority'. In Turkish, while yetkili can describe a person who is authorized, it rarely describes an inanimate object or an abstract concept as 'authorized'. You wouldn't typically say 'yetkili erişim' (authorized access) for example. Instead, you'd use a different construction, often involving the noun form and a genitive structure or a more descriptive verb.
- Wrong
- Bu dosya sadece yetkili erişim için.
This literally translates to 'This file is only for authorized access', but it sounds unnatural in Turkish. Yetkili here is trying to modify 'erişim' (access) directly as an adjective, which isn't how it usually works for non-human nouns.
- Right
- Bu dosyaya sadece yetkili kişiler erişebilir.
Bu dosyaya sadece yetkili kişiler erişebilir. (Only authorized people can access this file.)
§ Mistake 2: Confusing 'yetkili' with 'competent' in all contexts
While yetkili can sometimes mean 'competent' (as in 'competent authority'), it doesn't generally mean 'skillful' or 'proficient' in a general sense. If you want to say someone is competent at their job because they're skilled, you'd use words like becerikli, ehil, or uzman.
- Wrong
- O çok yetkili bir doktor. (Meaning: He is a very competent/skilled doctor.)
This would sound like 'He is a very authorized doctor,' which is odd. It implies he has authorization, not necessarily skill.
- Right
- O çok becerikli bir doktor.
- O işinde uzman bir doktor.
O çok becerikli bir doktor. (He is a very skilled/competent doctor.)
§ Mistake 3: Overlooking its noun usage
Sometimes learners try to force yetkili into an adjective-only role, forgetting its strength as a standalone noun. When you want to refer to 'an authorized person' or 'an official', yetkili itself is often enough, without needing 'kişi' (person) after it, especially in more formal or concise speech/writing.
- Less common/redundant (in some contexts)
- Lütfen yetkili bir kişiyi arayın.
While not strictly 'wrong', saying 'yetkili bir kişi' can sometimes be a bit wordy if 'yetkili' alone does the job.
- More natural/concise
- Lütfen bir yetkili ile görüşün.
Lütfen bir yetkili ile görüşün. (Please speak with an authorized person/official.)
So, in summary, yetkili is a powerful word. Remember it primarily refers to someone or something *having* authority or *being* authorized, most often a person. Don't use it as a general adjective for inanimate objects or as a synonym for 'skilled'. Stick to its core meaning of 'official' or 'authorized person', and you'll be using it like a native in no time!
Wusstest du?
The root 'yetki' means 'authority' or 'competence'. Adding '-li' makes it 'having authority' or 'authorized'. This is a common pattern in Turkish to form adjectives or nouns indicating possession of a quality.
Aussprachehilfe
- mispronouncing the 'k' as 'ç' (ch) instead of 'k'
- incorrect stress placement
Wichtige Grammatik
Turkish nouns don't have grammatical gender. 'Yetkili' can refer to a male or female authorized person.
Bankadaki yetkili size yardımcı olabilir. (The authorized person at the bank can help you.)
When 'yetkili' is used as a modifier, it often comes before the noun it describes, acting like an adjective.
Yetkili kişi kim? (Who is the authorized person?)
To form the plural, add '-ler' or '-lar' according to vowel harmony. For 'yetkili', it's 'yetkililer'.
Yetkililer toplantıya katıldı. (The officials attended the meeting.)
To show possession with 'yetkili', use the appropriate possessive suffix. For example, 'onun yetkilisi' (his/her official).
Bina yönetiminin yetkilisiyle görüştüm. (I spoke with the building management's official.)
When 'yetkili' is the object of a verb, it takes the accusative case suffix (-i, -ı, -ü, -u) if definite. For 'yetkili', it's 'yetkiliyi'.
Fabrikadaki yetkiliyi aradım. (I called the authorized person at the factory.)

neutralLeicht verwechselbar
Many English speakers learning Turkish confuse 'yetkili' with 'görevli' (officer/person in charge) or 'sorumlu' (responsible person). While there's overlap, 'yetkili' specifically refers to someone with official authority to do something.
'Yetkili' emphasizes the legal or designated power someone holds, often in a formal or bureaucratic context. 'Görevli' is broader, simply meaning someone assigned a duty. 'Sorumlu' highlights accountability.
Bu konuda yetkili birine danışmamız gerekiyor. (We need to consult someone authorized on this matter.)
Often mistaken for 'yetkili'. While a 'görevli' might have some authority, their primary characteristic is being assigned a task or duty.
'Görevli' is about being on duty or having a specific role. 'Yetkili' is about possessing official authorization. A 'yetkili' is often a 'görevli', but a 'görevli' isn't always 'yetkili' to make certain decisions.
Havalimanında bagajlara bakan görevli çok yardımcı oldu. (The officer/person in charge of luggage at the airport was very helpful.)
Can be confused with 'yetkili' because someone in charge is often also responsible. However, responsibility doesn't always equate to official authorization.
'Sorumlu' means responsible or accountable for something. 'Yetkili' means authorized. You can be responsible for a task without having the ultimate authority to make all decisions related to it.
Projenin zamanında bitmesinden o sorumlu. (He is responsible for the project finishing on time.)
Sometimes learners think 'resmi' (official/formal) is interchangeable with 'yetkili'. While 'yetkili' implies official status, 'resmi' describes the nature of something (e.g., an official document).
'Resmi' is an adjective describing formality or official status of an object, event, or process. 'Yetkili' is a noun (or adjective) referring to a person who possesses authority.
Bu resmi bir belgedir, dikkatli olun. (This is an official document, be careful.)
This Turkish word (from French 'autorité') directly means 'authority' and can be seen as similar to 'yetkili'. However, 'otorite' often refers to the abstract concept of authority or an institution, not usually an individual.
'Otorite' is the abstract power or the institution holding power. 'Yetkili' is the specific individual who has been granted that authority.
Devletin otoritesi sarsıldı. (The authority of the state was shaken.)

yetkili can be used for a wide range of authorized individuals, from a customer service representative to a government official. It implies that the person has the authority or permission to act on behalf of an organization or institution.
A common mistake is using 'otorite' instead of 'yetkili' when referring to an authorized person. While 'otorite' means 'authority,' it usually refers to power or control, not an individual. For example, you wouldn't say 'Müdür bir otoritedir' (The manager is an authority) to mean they are an authorized person. Instead, you'd say 'Müdür bir yetkilidir' (The manager is an authorized person).

Häufig gestellte Fragen
10 FragenThink of it as 'yet-key-lee'. The 'yet' part sounds a bit like 'yet' in English, as in 'not yet', which can sometimes imply waiting for authorization.

'Yetkili' means 'authorized person' or 'official', focusing on the authority given to an individual. 'Resmi' means 'official' in the sense of formal, public, or governmental. For example, 'resmi belge' is an official document, while 'yetkili kişi' is an authorized person.

It's generally a formal word, used in professional or official contexts. You wouldn't typically use it in very casual conversations unless you're talking about someone's official capacity.

The verb form is 'yetkilendirmek', which means 'to authorize' or 'to empower'. For example, 'Onu bu konuda yetkilendirdiler.' (They authorized him in this matter.)
Yes, it can. While it's primarily a noun meaning 'authorized person', it can also function as an adjective meaning 'authorized' or 'competent' when preceding another noun, as in 'yetkili bayi' (authorized dealer) or 'yetkili servis' (authorized service center).
An antonym would be 'yetkisiz', which means 'unauthorized' or 'without authority'. For example, 'Yetkisiz giriş yasaktır.' (Unauthorized entry is forbidden.)
