belirtildi

Belirtildi is a Turkish verb form meaning “it was stated” or “it has been indicated.” It is the passive voice construction derived from the verb belirtmek, which means to indicate, specify, point out, or state. The form belirtildi is built from the root belirt-, the passive suffix il-, and the past tense suffix -di, yielding the third-person singular past passive. In plural contexts, a form such as belirtildiler would be used.

In usage, belirtildi is common in formal writing such as news reports, academic papers, and legal or official documents. It is typically used to attribute a statement or finding to a source, often with an agent expressed by phrases like tarafından (by). For example: “Çalışmada katılımcı sayısının artırılması gerektiği belirtildi” means “The study stated that the number of participants should be increased.” It can also appear in reported speech, as in “X, Y’yi yaptığını belirtti” or “belirtildi ki,” meaning “it was indicated that” or “it was stated that.”

Semantically, belirtildi emphasizes that information has been asserted or specified by a source rather than presenting it as an assertion by the speaker. In many contexts, synonyms such as ifade edildi (was expressed) or gösterildi (was shown) may be used, with subtle differences in nuance related to emphasis on stating, expressing, or demonstrating.

Notes: belirtildi is typically third-person singular past passive. The agent can be specified with a phrase such as “tarafından” to indicate who stated or indicated the information. The term is widely understood in Turkish-language discourse and is a standard tool for formal attribution.
