üzdü

Çözdü is a Turkish verb form meaning "he/she/it solved." It is the simple past (aorist) tense of the verb çözü- (infinitive çözm ek) çözü- is the stem for çözü lmek, with the past tense suffix -di/-dı/-du/-dü applied, depending on vowel harmony. The combination of the stem and the suffix yields çözdü, with the final form in Turkish orthography written as çözdü.

In usage, çözdü denotes a completed action performed by a third-person subject. The subject is typically provided by context, as Turkish verbs do not encode person on their own in the past tense. The direct object, if present, follows the verb or appears within the sentence structure, as in phrases like "Sınav sorularını çözdü" (He solved the exam questions) or "Problemi çözdü" (He solved the problem).

Phonology and spelling reflect Turkish vowel harmony and consonant alternations. The root çö- ends with a z, and the past-tense suffix begins with d, producing the phonotactic sequence -zdü in the final form çözdü. The word is commonly used in everyday Turkish as well as in recorded texts to describe solving tasks, puzzles, problems, or issues.

Related forms include çözer (present tense, he/she solves), çözerdi (would solve), and çözüldü (was solved). The root çö- is associated with meanings such as solve, resolve, or untie, depending on context.
