Dünkü

Dünkü is a Turkish word that translates to "yesterday" in English. It refers to the day immediately preceding the current day. The word is commonly used in everyday conversation and written Turkish to denote past events or timeframes that occurred on the previous day. For example, one might say "Dünkü maç çok heyecanlıydı" which means "Yesterday's match was very exciting." Similarly, "Dünkü haberleri okudun mu?" translates to "Did you read yesterday's news?" The word is derived from the Old Turkic word "gün" meaning "day" and a suffix indicating past time. Its usage is consistent across various Turkish dialects and regions. Dünkü is a fundamental component of the Turkish temporal lexicon, enabling clear communication about past events.
