yürütülürdü

Yürütülürdü is a Turkish verb form derived from yürütmek, meaning to carry out, execute, or implement. The form is the passive voice in the past imperfect (habitual past) and is used to describe an action or state that was being carried out over a period in the past, or that used to happen regularly in the past. In English, it is commonly translated as “it was being carried out” or “it used to be carried out,” depending on context.

Morphology and construction: The form consists of the passive stem yürütül-, combined with the present tense marker for the third person singular (-ür) and the past tense marker (-dı/-di/-du/-du) with appropriate vowel harmony. This yields yürütülürdü. The resulting meaning emphasizes a past habitual or ongoing process rather than a single completed event.

Usage: Yürütülürdü appears in narratives or descriptive prose to indicate procedures, operations, or activities that occurred repeatedly or continuously in the past. It is common in formal or bureaucratic language when recounting how programs, plans, or processes were conducted historically.

Example sentences:

- Bu proje o dönemde yürütülürdü. (This project was being carried out in that period.)

- Süreç, denetimler bittikten sonra yürütülürdü. (The process was carried out after the audits.)

Etymology: The verb yürütmek comes from Turkish roots related to causing to go forward or to perform an action. The passive form yürütül- expresses that the action is performed by someone else, while the suffix sequence marks tense and aspect.
