Bildirildi

bildirildi is a Turkish word that functions as the past tense passive form of the verb bildirmek, meaning to inform or to report. It translates to "was reported" or "has been reported" and is used to relay information that originates from a source other than the speaker. The form is common in news reports, official statements, and formal writing.

Morphology and usage: Bildirildi is formed from the verb stem bildir- combined with the passive suffix -il- and the past tense suffix -di. Turkish allows the agent to be indicated with by-phrases such as tarafından or by using the agent omitted, as in "Olayla ilgili bilgiler bildirildi." The phrase states that the information has been communicated by someone else, without naming the source. In practice, it flags reported information rather than presenting it as the speaker's own assertion.

Etymology and related forms: Related forms include bildiriliyor (is being reported), bildirilecek (will be reported), and bildirilen (reported, as a participle). The term is common across Turkish-language journalism and formal discourse and has cognates in other Turkic languages, such as Azerbaijani, where the passive past form operates similarly.
