ödediler

ödediler is a Turkish verb form that means “they paid.” It is the third-person plural simple past (pretérito) form of the verb ödemek, which means “to pay.” The form is created from the stem de- (öde- in this verb) with the simple past suffix di and the third-person plural suffix -ler, resulting in ödediler. It denotes that the action of paying was completed by multiple subjects.

In use, ödediler appears in sentences reporting completed payments by a group. It is typically used in formal or narrative contexts such as news reports, accounts of transactions, or descriptions of events where a payment has been made by several people or entities. The word carries no inherent ethical or evaluative judgment; it simply states a completed action.

Examples:

- Onlar faturayı ödediler. (They paid the bill.)

- Şirketler borçlarını ödediler. (The companies paid their debts.)

- Müşteriler hizmet için ödediler. (The customers paid for the service.)

Related forms include ödemek (to pay), ödeme (payment), and ödemeler (payments). Turkish verbs in this pattern show person and number through suffixes, while tense is indicated by the past tense suffix; for third person plural, the suffix -ler attaches after the past tense form, as in ödediler.
