〜(ら)れる (~(ra)reru) — (it) comes to mind / is felt naturally

Looks just like the passive, but nobody does anything to you — a memory or feeling simply rises in your mind.

Formula (सूत्र ढाँचा)

N + が + Vない [ない] + れる／られる

する → さ + れる

Grammar rule (व्याकरण नियम र परिभाषा)

When to use it

Late at night in a small room in Tokyo, an old Nepali song plays on YouTube, and the thought comes: 「この歌を聞くと、ふるさとのことが思い出される」— 'when I hear this song, memories of home come back on their own.'

Meaning

In form it is just like the passive (叱られる・呼ばれる), but here nobody is doing anything to me — a memory, a worry or a thought rises without my wanting it.
「思い出す」= I deliberately recall; 「思い出される」= the memory comes by itself.
This use only happens with verbs of the mind: 思われる・感じられる・思い出される・案じられる (can't stop worrying)・悔やまれる (regret wells up)・待たれる (everyone is waiting for it).
The 「〜と考えられる」「〜が予想される」of the news is the same thing — it softens the writer's view into 'this is what one naturally comes to think'.

How to attach

Attach it like the passive: drop the 「ない」of the ない-form and add 「れる」(思い出さ+れる) or 「られる」(案じ+られる); 「する」→ 「される」.
That is why the thing that comes to mind takes 「が」: 「ふるさとのことが思い出される」.

Versus what you know

N2「〜てならない」(気がしてならない) is also a feeling that rises by itself, but it is strong and emotional; 「(ら)れる」sounds calm and written.

Watch out

The key rule: verbs that have nothing to do with the mind, like 食べる・歩く・疲れる, never take this meaning.

Examples (उदाहरणहरू)

この歌を聞くと、ネパールで過ごした子どもの頃が思い出される。

このうたをきくと、ネパールですごしたこどものころがおもいだされる。

Whenever I hear this song, my childhood in Nepal comes back to me.

How it is built (कसरी बन्यो) この歌を聞くと = when I hear this song (the trigger) → 子どもの頃が = my childhood (what comes to mind, with 「が」) → 思い出す → 思い出さない → 思い出さ → attach 「れる」 = the memory comes back by itself.

一人で留学している息子の体調が案じられる。

ひとりでりゅうがくしているむすこのたいちょうがあんじられる。

I can't help worrying about the health of my son, who is studying abroad on his own.

How it is built (कसरी बन्यो) 息子の体調が = my son's health (what I worry about, with 「が」) → 案じる = to worry (る-verb) → 案じ → 「られる」 = the worry comes on its own and stays.

大雪のため、明日も電車の遅れが予想される。

おおゆきのため、あしたもでんしゃのおくれがよそうされる。

Because of the heavy snow, train delays are expected tomorrow as well.

How it is built (कसरी बन्यो) 大雪のため = because of the heavy snow → 電車の遅れが = train delays (what's being predicted) → 予想する → 予想さ → 「れる」 = it's naturally expected → news language.

「年を取った両親の健康が＿＿。」— fill the blank.

💡 Hint: After 「が」, the form meaning the worry 'comes by itself'.
