Etymology

From Ottoman Turkish ایدی (idi, “was”), from Proto-Turkic *er-ti (“was”), third person past participle of Proto-Turkic *er- (“to be”). Equivalent to i- (“to be”) +‎ -di (“past tense suffix”). Cognate with Old Turkic 𐰼𐱅𐰃 (erti, “was”), Karakhanid (erdi, “was”), Kazakh еді (edı, “was”), Uzbek edi (“was”).

Verb

idi

third-person singular indicative simple past of imek
Yakışıklı bir çocuk idi. ― He was a handsome guy.

Génçti. ― He was young.

(kı́zdı. ― She was a girl) as opposed to (kızdı́. ― He/she got angry.) (see usage notes for stress marking)

(bítti. ― It was a louse) as opposed to (bittı́. ― It ended.) (see usage notes for stress marking)

Usage notes

Mostly embedded into words taking the shape in alternative forms. When it is in the form of -di/-ti, -dı/-tı, -du/-tu, and -dü/-tü which are also past tense suffixes, a differentiation in stress is noted where the past tense suffixes carry the stress but the alternative forms of idi do not, mainly because they are not originally suffixes. Past tense suffixes always follow a verb.
