Breakdown of Mezuniyet törenine davet edildim.
Questions & Answers about Mezuniyet törenine davet edildim.
mezuniyet comes from the Arabic-derived root mezun (“graduate”) plus the nominalizing suffix -iyet, which creates abstract nouns. So:
mezun (“graduate”) + -iyet → mezuniyet (“graduation”).
davet etmek literally means “to do an invitation” – davet is a noun (“invitation”), etmek is the light verb “to do/make.” To make it passive you add the suffix -(i)l to etmek, giving edilmek (“to be invited”). So:
davet etmek (“to invite”) → davet edilmek (“to be invited”).
Start with the passive infinitive davet edilmek. Then:
1) attach the past tense marker -di → edildi
2) add the 1st person singular agreement -m → edildim
Putting it together: davet edildim = “I was invited.”
The passive shifts focus onto the person being invited (you or “I”), not on who did the inviting. If you want an active version, you must supply an agent and use davet etmek directly:
Beni mezuniyet törenine davet ettiler.
Literally “They invited me to the graduation ceremony.”
