Koydunuz

Koydunuz is a Turkish verb form that functions as the second person plural past definite of the verb koymak, which means to put, place, or lay. It is used when addressing multiple people who performed the action of putting something somewhere in the past.

Grammatical note: Turkish verbs express person, number, and tense through endings attached to the verb stem. Koydunuz combines the past tense marker with the second person plural subject ending, and it can be used with or without an explicit subject pronoun. The form indicates that the action was completed in the past by “you” (plural), i.e., by you all or by you in a formal plural sense.

Usage: Koydunuz appears in sentences describing completed actions of placing or putting objects. It takes a direct object (the thing being placed) and a location (the place where it was put). Because Turkish allows dropping the subject, koydunuz can stand alone as a complete predicate when the addressee is clear from context. Examples include: “Çantaları masanın üstüne koydunuz.” (You all placed the bags on the table.) “Kutuları depoya koydunuz mu?” (Did you all put the boxes in the warehouse?)

Relation to related forms: The related forms include koydu (he/she/it put), koydunuz (you all put), and koyduk (we put). The verb koymak belongs to a broader class of Turkish transitive verbs that express straightforward physical action and typically require a direct object.
