The answer is no and here is why;
--->pekidi is grammatically wrong
if we really had to say something was okay/alright then we had to add "y" as connection letter
pekiYdi
--->When can we say this word?
example:
-What was his answer to that question?
-It (his answer) was okay - Pekiydi
Only in such a conversation this word would make some sense.
---So we need to use the word "iyi"
I am OK - İyiyim
The film was OK - Film güzeldi
Let's learn some more;
if it is just so-so movie then
Film fena değildi or
İdare eder --yes it is present even though the question is past tense
and for a person;
I am so-so Fena değilim / Fena değil / İdare eder
When it is an answer for a person, I would say it is a bit informal to say "İdare eder"
Hope this helps!
