Üstlendiniz

Üstlendiniz is a Turkish verb form meaning “you took on (a responsibility, task, or burden).” It is the simple past tense of the verb üstlenmek and is used with the second person plural pronoun siz, which can indicate either you all or a formal you. The form signals that the addressed party assumed a duty or undertook something in the past.

Etymology and formation: The infinitive üstlenmek means to undertake or to shoulder. Üstlendiniz is formed from the stem üstlen-, plus the past-tense suffix -di, and the second-person plural suffix -iniz (with vowel harmony, resulting in -diniz). Turkish past tense endings vary by person, and -diniz marks “you (plural/formal).” Related forms include üstlendim (I undertook), üstlendin (you undertook, singular), üstlendi (he/she undertook), üstlendik (we undertook), and üstlendiler (they undertook).

Usage: Üstlendiniz is used when addressing a group or a formal “you” to indicate that a responsibility or task was taken on in the past. It can appear in professional, administrative, or everyday contexts, often with the object of the undertaking following the verb.

Examples:

- Bu projeyi üstlendiniz. (You undertook this project.)

- Bu görevi üstlendiniz, teşekkür ederim. (You took on this duty; thank you.)
