Otkazildi

Otkazildi is a Turkic-language verb form meaning that something was carried out, held, or conducted in the past. It is commonly used in Uzbek and related languages to report that events such as concerts, meetings, conferences, or exhibitions took place. The form signals a passive past tense, indicating that the subject experienced the action rather than performing it.

The word is built from a root meaning “to hold” or “to carry out” (otkaz-, o‘tkaz-, depending on orthography) with a past-tense passive suffix (-ildi). Spelling variants reflect different scripts and languages. In Uzbek, the standard spelling is o‘tkazildi in Latin script (appearing as otkazildi in less formal text). In Kazakh and other Turkic varieties, similar forms exist under corresponding orthographies (for example, ötkizildi in some transliterations).

Usage notes: otkazildi does not by itself denote cancellation or postponement. Those meanings are conveyed by context or by using other verbs such as bekor qilindi (canceled) or kechiktirildi (postponed). Common, neutral usage reports that an event was held: Konsert o'tkazildi (The concert was held). Tadbir o'tkazildi (The event was held). The exact nuance depends on the specific language and the surrounding sentence.
