ötkizildi

ötkizildi is a Turkish verb form that embodies the past tense and the passive voice. It is not a standalone lemma but the conjugated result of turning a verb stem into a passive past form. In Turkish, the passive voice is created by inserting the passive stem -il- (with vowel harmony) before the past tense suffix -di/-dı/-du/-dü. The combination of -il- and -di yields forms such as ötkizildi, where the final segment reflects typical Turkish phonology and vowel harmony.

Morphology and function: The structure can be analyzed as root + il (passive) + di (past). The exact meaning of ötkizildi depends on the underlying verb stem from which it is derived. In other words, ötkizildi translates roughly to “it was [verb]-ed” or “it was made to [verb],” with the agent performing the action either unspecified or introduced by a phrase such as tarafindan. As with other Turkish verb forms, the subject and the agent are determined by the surrounding sentence context rather than by the suffix alone.

Usage: ötkizildi appears in formal, literary, or written Turkish when the speaker wishes to describe an action that was performed on the subject by someone else. Because Turkish relies heavily on context for lexical meaning, the presence of -il- past-tense endings signals voice and time but not the specific action without the base verb.

Etymology and notes: The form represents a morphological pattern rather than a fixed lexical item. Dictionaries would list the base verb from which öl/kiz/ötkiz gibi stems derive, along with its various inflected forms. The form ötkizildi demonstrates standard Turkish conjugation rather than a unique lexical meaning.
