Participles are called ''sıfat-fiil'' ({{lit|adjective-verb}}) or ''ortaç'' in Turkish.<ref>Ergin 309</ref>

Turkish participles consist of a verb stem and a suffix. Some participles may be conjugated, but some may not. Participles always precede the noun they are defining, unlike in English.

Participle suffixes, like many other suffixes in Turkish, change according to the [[vowel harmony]] and [[sandhi]].

There are eight types of participle suffixes; ''-en'', ''-esi'', ''-mez'', ''-ar'', ''-di(k/ği)'' ''-ecek'' and ''-miş''<ref>Ergin 310</ref><ref name="yıldız">[http://www.sosbil.aku.edu.tr/dergi/II2/11-Gurer-gulsevin.pdf  Dâsitân-ı Sultân Mahmûd Mesnevisi'nde Fiiller, Süleyman Demirel Üniversitesi Sosyal Bilimler Dergisi] {{Dead link|date=January 2021 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}, Osman Yıldız, May 2007 (PDF)</ref> 

An easy way to remember those is a mnemonic taught in Turkish schools: "''Anası mezar dikecekmiş''", which has every type of the suffixes, and is still a coherent sentence, translated as "his/her mother is allegedly going to plant (i.e. erect) a grave(stone)".
