Hello everyone.

Would you please help me with this?

İzmire hangi yoldan gidilir?

Why does the verb "gidilir"  has been used?

Why is it third person singular?

 

Much obliged beforehand

It´s like which road ´goes´ to Izmir. So that´s why it´s 3rd person. The ´il´ doesn´t translate well to English, in this case. Would be sort of like ´gets taken´. It´s called passive voice:
