Etkiledi

Etkiledi is a Turkish verb form meaning “influenced” or “affected.” It is the simple past tense, third-person singular form of etkilemek, which means to influence or affect. The construction shows that the subject caused an influence or effect on a person, group, object, or situation.

Morphology and usage

In Turkish, etkilemek is a causative verb built from the noun etki, meaning effect or influence, combined with a causative stem. The past tense suffix di is added to indicate that the action occurred in the past, yielding etkiledi. The verb is transitive and typically takes a direct object representing what was influenced or affected, while the subject performs the act of influencing.

Common contexts

Etkiledi appears in news, literature, and everyday language to describe events where one factor or actor had an impact on another. Examples include political decisions affecting the economy, news reports describing public reactions to events, or statements about how a policy influenced behavior. Typical sentence structure follows subject + etkiledi + object (the thing that was influenced).

Notes

Etkiledi conveys a completed action in the past and is distinct from etkilir, etkilen, or etkileyen forms which express ongoing or passive influence or different aspects of influence. In Turkish, precise choice among etkiledi and related forms depends on voice, tense, and aspect.
