Hissedmek

Hissedmek is a Turkish verb that is largely considered a nonstandard or erroneous variant of the standard verb hissetmek, which means to feel or to sense. In modern Turkish, the correct infinitive is hissetmek; hissedmek is rarely used and is generally regarded as a misspelling or a dialectal variant rather than a separate lexical item.

Usage and status: When encountered, hissedmek typically appears in informal writing, transcription errors, or online texts where the intended meaning is to perceive a physical sensation or an emotional state. In standard Turkish, speakers are advised to use hissetmek. Some linguistic descriptions note that hissedmek may appear in historical texts or regional speech, but such usage is uncommon in contemporary Turkish and is not recognized as a standard form.

Grammar and interpretation: Because hissedmek is not listed in standard dictionaries, it does not have an accepted set of conjugations in formal grammar. If encountered, it is generally interpreted as a misspelling of hissetmek rather than a word with its own grammatical system. In practical terms, the intended meaning remains “to feel” or “to sense,” and speakers typically replace hissedmek with hissetmek in both writing and speech.
