uzatilgan

"uzatılan" is the past passive participle form of the Turkish verb "uzatmak," which means "to extend" or "to prolong." In Turkish grammar, participle forms are used as adjectives to describe nouns and can function as part of verb phrases or standalone adjectives. The term "uzatılan" specifically refers to something that has been extended or prolonged in the past.

The word "uzatmak" itself has multiple meanings depending on context. It can refer to physically extending an object, such as a timeline, duration, or period. For example, one might say "etkinlik uzatıldı" (the event was extended) to indicate that the duration of an event was prolonged. It can also be used metaphorically, such as extending a deadline or delaying an action.

In Turkish syntax, "uzatılan" is often used in passive constructions to indicate that the subject of the sentence is the recipient of the action rather than the performer. For instance, "ödev uzatılan öğrenciler" translates to "students whose homework was extended." This construction emphasizes the object affected by the action rather than the agent performing it.

The participle form "uzatılan" can also appear in noun phrases to describe a state or condition. For example, "uzatılan süre" means "extended period" or "prolonged duration." This usage is common in both written and spoken Turkish, particularly in formal contexts such as legal documents, academic writing, or professional communication.

Grammatically, "uzatılan" agrees with the noun it modifies in terms of gender, number, and case. For instance, it can take different endings depending on whether it describes a singular or plural noun, a masculine or feminine subject, and the grammatical case (nominative, accusative, etc.). This flexibility allows "uzatılan" to function smoothly within complex sentence structures in Turkish.
