bitirdim

Bitirdim is a Turkish verb form meaning "I finished" or "I have finished." It is the first-person singular simple past tense of the verb bitirmek, which means to finish, to complete. The form is built from the stem bitir- plus the past tense suffix -di and the personal ending -m, yielding bitirdim. In ordinary Turkish, the simple past expresses a completed action at a definite time in the past; the time reference is usually provided by context or an accompanying time expression.

Bitirmek is a transitive verb, so bitirdim commonly appears with a direct object, often in the appropriate possessive or accusative form. Examples include Dersimi bitirdim (I finished my lesson) and Ödevimi bitirdim (I finished my homework). In many contexts, the object can be omitted if it is understood from context, and the sentence still conveys a completed action. Turkish verbs are highly inflected, and bitirdim is one of many person-number forms derived from the same verb.

Usage notes: bitirdim is used in everyday speech and writing to report tasks that have been completed, such as assignments, meals, or events. It does not convey present relevance or a continuous state; for ongoing relevance, Turkish would use a different construction, such as a present or perfect form with appropriate suffixes. Bitirdim is not a noun or proper noun and does not function independently outside of a verb phrase.
