üretildi

Üretildi is a Turkish verb form meaning “was produced” or “has been produced.” It is the past tense, passive voice of the verb üretmek, which means to produce or manufacture. In Turkish, the passive voice is formed by adding a passive marker to the verb stem, and then the past tense ending indicates the action occurred in the past. The resulting form is used to state that production happened without specifying who produced it.

The form is commonly employed in contexts such as industry reports, product announcements, and descriptions of manufacturing or agricultural yields. It emphasizes the result of production rather than the doer. The agent can be stated with a phrase such as tarafından (by) or can remain implicit, depending on the sentence.

Typical uses include describing manufacturing outputs, industrial capacity, and agricultural production. For example, a sentence might read: Bu ürün yerli fabrikada üretildi. This product was produced at a local factory. Another example is: Geçen yıl bu tarım alanında yüz ton üzüm üretildi. Last year, the vineyard produced one hundred tons of grapes. In Turkish, the simple past passive like üretildi signals a completed production event rather than an ongoing process; present or habitual production would use a different tense or aspect.

Etymologically, üretildi comes from the root üret- with the passive construction and the past tense suffix, reflecting Turkish’s agglutinative verb system. Related terms include üretim (production), üretici (producer), and üretici firma (producing company).
