Bugüne

Bugüne is a Turkish grammatical form derived from bugün, meaning today. It is the dative case form of bugün, created by adding the suffix -e, and it functions in time expressions to indicate direction toward the present day or to mark a point in time extending to today. In Turkish, bugüne typically appears within longer phrases rather than as a stand-alone adverb.

In usage, bugüne appears most often in fixed expressions such as bugüne kadar, which translates as “up to today” or “until now.” It can also occur in constructions like bugüne bakarsak, meaning “if we look at today” or “as for today,” and in forms like bugüne kadar olanlar, meaning “those up to today.” Because Turkish relies on suffixal morphology, bugüne usually operates as a time-related noun within a larger phrase rather than as an independent modifier.

Examples:

- Bugüne kadar yapılan çalışmalar olumlu sonuçlar verdi. (The studies conducted up to today yielded positive results.)

- Bugüne bakarsak, hedeflerimize ulaşma yolunda ilerliyoruz. (If we look at today, we are making progress toward our goals.)

Notes:

Bugüne is not a standalone concept but a grammatical form used to express temporal relations centered on the present day. It is part of broader Turkish time expressions and varies with surrounding suffixes to convey different temporal nuances. See also Turkish grammar and Turkish time expressions.
