Quoting Abla

If I was asked I´d say

         demek ´to say´ > diyen

         denmek ´to be said´ > denen

That´s why

         Sevgi denen o gerçeğe ´something that is called love´ (passive voice) 

         sağol diyen birisi ´someone who says...´ (active voice).

 

oh..yes..yes..indeed..thank you Abla

so, if I did understand right:

Diyen adam: the man who says

Denen şey: the thing that was said

Deneyen adam: the man who tries

so, if I did understand right:

Diyen adam: the man who says ----> Correct

Denen şey: the thing that was said ---> the thing that is called....

Hayat denen şey çok kısa ---> The thing that is called life is very short.

Deneyen adam: the man who tries ---> Correct

Denen : tell from someone (i think)

But what is de|n|il|mek? Is it stem + reflexive + passive or stem + double passive? It is translated the same way as denmek and even the participle denilen is sometimes used the same way as denen above.
