This word comes from "özlemek" (to miss sb/sth), and it represents one type of participles used in Turkish language. As far as I know (just learner) it can be actually one of two following forms:

 

özlediğin - i (accusative suffix) = "your missing", "the one you miss", "things/people you miss" as an object of some verb.

 

özlediği - n (buffer letter) - i (accusative suffix) = "his/her missing", "the one he/she misses", "things/people he/she misses" as an object of some verb.

 

It is bit hard to translate this kind of participle standalone, because it can have several meanings in English. If it is possible for you to give a full sentence then it would be easier to find good translation for it.

 

You can read about these participles (sometimes called "object participles", sometimes "di-past participles", sometimes other names are used) here:

but, personally, I´ve found the explanation from Lewis´ "Turkish Grammar" to be the best for me. You can find it here:

http://www.scribd.com/doc/14532621/Lewis1-Turkish-Grammar

you need to go to page 162 of book (or enter page number 91 in panel which is displayed at the bottom part of site) - look at paragraph 6 ("di-past") and 7 ("personal participles").
