gerçekletiriliyordu

Gerçekletiriliyordu is a Turkish verb form. It is the past continuous tense of the verb "gerçekleştirmek," which means to realize, implement, or carry out. The "-yor" suffix indicates the present continuous tense, and the "-du" suffix denotes the past tense. Therefore, "gerçekletiriliyordu" translates to "was being realized," "was being implemented," or "was being carried out."

This verb form is used to describe an action that was in progress at a specific point in the past. It emphasizes the ongoing nature of an event or process that was happening. For example, "Proje iki yıldır gerçekletiriliyordu" means "The project was being implemented for two years." The focus here is on the continuous duration of the project's implementation.

The passive voice is also present in this form, indicated by the "-il" suffix within "gerçekleştiriliyordu." This means the subject of the sentence is the recipient of the action, rather than the performer. So, "Proje gerçekletiriliyordu" means "The project was being carried out" (by someone, implied). The active equivalent would be something like "Onlar projeyi gerçekletiriyorlardı" (They were carrying out the project).

Understanding "gerçekletiriliyordu" requires recognizing its components: the root verb "gerçekleştir-", the continuous aspect "-yor-", the past tense marker "-du", and the passive voice "-il". Together, they create a specific nuance of past ongoing action where the subject is acted upon.
