Kullanyorsun

Kullanyorsun is a coined term that appears in online Turkish-language discourse as a meme-inspired way to comment on the act of using something. In memes and casual posts, it is often deployed to humorously or critically point out ongoing usage, whether of an app, gadget, habit, or resource.

Originating in Turkish internet culture during the 2020s, kullanyorsun is not part of standard Turkish orthography. It is a stylized spelling that plays with the familiar Turkish verb kullan- meaning “to use,” combined with online shorthand forms to evoke a present-tense second-person singular sense. The result is a catchy, easily recognizable caption or punchline that users apply to situations involving continual usage.

Usage and meaning in context are flexible. As a caption or comment, kullanyorsun signals that someone is overusing or excessively engaging with something, often in a lighthearted or teasing way. It can be employed by others to poke fun at a friend's tech habits, a trending app, or a routine that has become overly habitual. In some cases, it is used self-referentially to acknowledge one’s own excessive behavior.

Variants and related terms include the standard Turkish forms like kullanıyorsun, which convey the same basic idea in formal grammar, while kullanyorsun remains a meme-oriented variant. The term is predominantly seen in informal online spaces, memes, and chat forums in Turkey, rather than in formal language contexts.
