Sürdürünüz

Sürdürünüz is the second-person plural imperative form of the Turkish verb sürdürmek, meaning to continue, to maintain, or to sustain. As an imperative, sürdürünüz is used to instruct a group to keep performing an action or to maintain a state. In modern everyday Turkish, the more common imperative for you all is sürdürün; sürdürünüz appears mainly in formal, advisory, or written language and can carry a more pronounced or courteous tone.

The form is built from the verb stem sürdür combined with the 2nd-person plural imperative suffix -ünüz, following Turkish vowel harmony. It is used with a direct object or a subordinate clause, for example: Projeyi sürdürünüz. Çalışmaları sürdürünüz ve zamanında rapor edin. Although understandable in contemporary Turkish, many speakers would prefer sürdürün in casual speech.

Usage notes and register: Sürdürünüz often appears in official texts, guidelines, or formal instructions. It emphasizes collective action and responsibility for a continued effort. There are related forms for other persons, such as sürdür (second-person singular) and sürdürünüz (you all, formal or emphatic), as well as the infinitive sürdürmek, from which these forms are derived.

See also: sürdürmek, devam ettirmek. Etymology traces to Turkish root sürdür and the common imperative suffix pattern used for addressing multiple people.
