Büyüdüünde

Büyüdüünde is a Turkish word that translates to "when he/she/it grows up" or "when it is grown up" in English. It is a compound word formed from the verb "büyümek" (to grow up) and the suffix "-düğünde" which indicates a future or hypothetical condition, often translated as "when" or "upon." The suffix is attached to the past participle stem of the verb, "büyüdü-" (having grown up).

The phrase is commonly used in various contexts. It can refer to the future aspirations of children, such as "Büyüdüğünde doktor olmak istiyor" (When he/she grows up, he/she wants to become a doctor). It can also be used more figuratively to describe the maturation of things, like a plant or an idea. For instance, "Bu fidan büyüdüğünde gölge verecek" means "When this sapling grows up, it will provide shade."

The grammatical structure signifies a dependent clause expressing a temporal condition. The subject of the clause is typically implied by the context or explicitly stated in the main clause. Understanding the components of "büyümek" and the conditional suffix "-düğünde" is key to deciphering the meaning and usage of this versatile Turkish phrase.
