Bitirdiler

Bitirdiler is a Turkish verb form meaning “they finished” or “they have finished” in the simple past tense with a plural subject. It derives from the verb bitir- (to finish, to complete) and is formed by adding the past tense suffix -di and the third-person plural suffix -ler, resulting in bitirdi + ler -> bitirdiler. The form is standard Turkish and appears in everyday speech as well as written language, including news and literature.

Usage notes: Bitirdiler is transitive and used when the subject is plural. It describes a completed action performed by multiple people or entities. Examples include:

- Raporu bitirdiler. (They finished the report.)

- Projeyi bitirdiler ve yeni planlar yaptılar. (They finished the project and made new plans.)

Related forms: Turkish conjugation of bitirmek yields other person-number forms such as bitirdim (I finished), bitirdin (you finished), bitirdi (he/she finished), bitirdik (we finished), and bitirdiniz (you finished). Bitirdiler fits into the broader system of suffixal conjugation in Turkish, illustrating how past tense markers and plural subject endings combine on a single verb.
