The thing that becomes loose or gets solved is the subject. The person doing the work can remain unnamed.
The idea
Compare soruyu çözdüm (I solved the question) and soru çözüldü (the question was solved). The passive subject loses the object ending.
| Person | Present continuous | Past | Future |
|---|---|---|---|
| ben | çözülüyorum | çözüldüm | çözüleceğim |
| sen | çözülüyorsun | çözüldün | çözüleceksin |
| o | çözülüyor | çözüldü | çözülecek |
| biz | çözülüyoruz | çözüldük | çözüleceğiz |
| siz | çözülüyorsunuz | çözüldünüz | çözüleceksiniz |
| onlar | çözülüyorlar | çözüldüler | çözülecekler |
Examples
- Düğüm yavaşça çözülüyor.The knot is slowly coming undone.
- Dün sınıfta zor bir soru çözüldü.Yesterday a difficult question was solved in class.
- Yarın bu sorun toplantıda çözülecek.Tomorrow this problem will be resolved at the meeting.
- Ayakkabımın bağcığı çözüldü.My shoelace came undone.
- Sorun henüz çözülmedi.The problem has not been resolved yet.
- Bu soru öğretmen tarafından çözüldü.This question was solved by the teacher.

Watch out
An unnamed solver does not mean a problem solved itself. Context distinguishes an untying lace from a question solved by someone.
Try it yourself
Complete in the present continuous: Düğüm şimdi ___. (çözülmek)
Show answer or example answer
çözülüyor
çözülüyor: use the requested present form; a third-person singular subject needs no added personal ending.
Complete in the definite past (-di): Dün bir soru ___. (çözülmek)
Show answer or example answer
çözüldü
çözüldü: the exercise requests the definite past; keep third-person singular agreement with the named subject.
Complete in the future tense: Bu sorun yarın ___. (çözülmek)
Show answer or example answer
çözülecek
çözülecek: the third-person future keeps its final k because no vowel-initial personal ending follows it.
