Denildiinde

Denildiinde is not a standard Turkish term. In most Turkish texts, the correct form is denildiğinde, a subordinating conjunction meaning “when it is said” or “upon being said.” The form denildiinde is typically a misspelling or a mistaken variant resulting from confusing the suffix -inde with -ığında. In Turkish, denildiğinde is built from denildi, the passive past of demek “to say,” plus -ğinde, a temporal/conditional suffix that marks a time clause: “when it is said” or “in the event that it is said.”

The expression is used to introduce clauses that report or reference statements made by others. It often appears in journalism, academic writing, and literary prose when the writer notes a condition or situation dependent on what has been claimed or asserted. For example, a sentence like, Bu haberin doğru olduğu denildiğinde, kamuoyu tepkisini gösterdi, would convey “When it was said that this news was true, the public reacted.” Such usage relies on attributing speech or assertion to another source.

Usage notes and common issues: denildiğinde is the expected form in formal Turkish; denildiinde is generally regarded as a spelling error or informal deviation. When clarity is needed, writers may alternatively use phrases like iddia edildiği gibi or söz edildiği gibi to convey similar meaning without relying on the denildiğinde construction. In translation, denildiğinde corresponds to “when it is said” or “upon being said,” depending on the surrounding context.
