gönderildi

Gönderildi is a Turkish verb form meaning “was sent” or “has been sent.” It is the past tense, passive voice form derived from the verb göndermek, which means to send. In Turkish, passive voice often omits the agent, so gönderildi focuses on the action and its recipient rather than who performed it.

Morphology and usage: The form is built from the verb stem gönderen- (gönder-), with the passive suffix -il- (harmonized as -il- in this case) plus the past tense suffix -di, yielding gönderildi. It is a finite form, typically used with a third-person singular subject, such as an object or document in question. The agent can be introduced when needed with tarafından or by naming the actor: Kargo şirketi tarafından gönderildi (It was sent by the shipping company).

Context and nuance: Gönderildi is used in several domains, including logistics, mail, and administrative communication. It conveys a completed sending action in the past and does not explicitly specify the agent unless stated. For distinctions like “has been sent” or “was sent at an indefinite time,” Turkish often relies on context or uses related forms such as gönderilmiş (the sent one) or gönderildiği (that it was sent) in dependent clauses.

Related terms: Göndermek (to send), gönderme (sending), gönderi (shipment or dispatch), gönderilmek (to be sent). The noun form gönderi commonly refers to a shipment or item that has been dispatched.

English equivalents: was sent, has been sent. In Turkish, exact tense nuances are often inferred from context rather than distinct auxiliaries.
