üstlendi

Üstlendi is the simple past tense, third-person singular form of the Turkish verb üstlenmek, meaning to undertake or assume responsibility, or to take on a task, duty, or burden.

In usage, üstlendi describes someone who has accepted a responsibility or project and begun to act on it. It is commonly followed by a direct object indicating what was taken on, for example: projeyi üstlendi (took on the project) or sorumluluğu üstlendi (assumed the responsibility). The subject is typically clear from context or indicated by a personal pronoun.

Morphology and related forms: the infinitive is üstlenmek. The past tense form is built from the verb stem üstlen- plus the past suffix -di, yielding üstlendi for the third-person singular. The present tense form is üstlenir, and the noun form related to the act of undertaking is üstlenme (the undertaking).

Examples:

- O projeyi üstlendi. He undertook the project.

- Başkanlık görevini üstlendi. He/she assumed the presidency.
