yozildi

Yozildi is the past passive form of the Uzbek verb yozmoq, meaning to write. It is used to indicate that the action of writing has been completed and that the subject has undergone the action, with the agent often left unspecified. The form is created by taking the verb stem yoz-, adding the passive marker il- and the past tense ending di, resulting in yozildi. This construction is common in Uzbek grammar for reporting that something was written without naming the author.

In practice, yozildi appears in many contexts, including journalism, literature, and official documents. Examples include sentences like Kitob yozildi (The book was written) or Maqola yaqinda yozildi (The article was written recently). When the author or agent is specified, Uzbek typically uses a phrase such as kim tomonidan yozilgan or tomondan yozildi, meaning “written by whom” or “written by X.” The agent is often omitted if it is obvious from context.

Related forms include yozilgan, the past passive participle meaning “written” used as an adjective, as in yozilgan matn (the written text). There is also yoziladigan, the present/future-facing passive participle form indicating something “to be written” or “to be written in a certain context.” These forms expand the range of expressions related to writing, authorship, and documentation in Uzbek.

Overall, yozildi serves as a fundamental finite verb form for expressing completed, passive writing actions, while its related participial forms enable adjectival and aspectual nuances in describing written works.
