Geçirildi

Geçirildi is a Turkish verb form that functions as the past passive of geçirmek. Geçirmek means to pass or spend time, to host or cause someone to experience something, and in the passive past tense geçirildi indicates that the time, experience, or process was undergone or was spent by someone or something, without specifying the agent. The form is regular in Turkish, produced from the verb stem geçir- by adding the passive marker -il and the past tense ending -di, with appropriate vowel harmony to yield geçirildi.

Usage and meanings

Geçirildi can refer to time being spent in a place or during an event, as in two days were spent (geçirildi). It can also describe someone experiencing or undergoing an experience or process, such as a difficult period being endured, for example, zor bir dönem geçirildi. In formal or report-like Turkish, the passive voice is used to present experiences or durations in an impersonal way, focusing on the event or period rather than the actor.

Common patterns

- Time or duration: Bir hafta geçirildi. (A week was spent.)

- Experience or ordeal: Zor bir dönem geçirildi. (A difficult period was experienced.)

Related forms

Geçirmek is the active counterpart, meaning to spend or to pass, to host, or to cause to experience. The related causative or different voices (such as geçmiş zaman, geçmiş etkenli) follow Turkish verbal morphology, but geçirildi specifically marks the past passive.

Notes

Geçirildi is typical of formal or written Turkish and may appear in news reports, official statements, or narrative prose to describe what occurred or what was endured, without naming who carried it out.
