oynadi

Oynadi is the Turkish verb form meaning "played," derived from the infinitive oynama(k) to play. It represents the simple past tense, often called the definite past, and is used to describe a completed action in the past.

Morphology and spelling: The form is built from the verb stem oyn(a)– plus the past tense suffix -dı (or its appropriate form according to vowel harmony). The standard Turkish spelling uses the dotless i in this suffix, yielding oynadı. In contexts where Turkish diacritics are not available, it may appear as "oynadi" as a transliteration or non-diacritic rendering of the same form.

Usage: In Turkish, subjects are commonly placed before the verb, so a typical sentence is O oynadı, meaning "He/She/It played." The subject pronoun can often be omitted if the context makes the actor clear. Negation is formed with nono: "oynamadı" means "did not play," and questions are formed as "oynadı mı?" meaning "Did he/she/it play?" Turkish verbs do not inflect for person in the past tense beyond the subject, so the ending primarily marks tense rather than person.

Examples: Oynadı. (He/She/It played.) Oynadı mı? (Did he/she/it play?) Çocuklar oyun oynadı. (The children played a game.) Oynamadı. (Did not play.)

Note: While "oynadi" may be encountered as a non-diacritic variant, the correct Turkish orthography in standard texts is "oynadı." The form is specifically a Turkish verb conjugation and not a separate lexical item in Turkish.
