Uydurulmu

Uyudurulmu is a nonstandard or variant spelling seen in some Turkish texts. It is not a widely recognized entry in standard Turkish dictionaries, and the formally correct form is uyudurulmuş, meaning “fabricated” or “made up.” The word arises from the Turkish verb uydurmak, which means to fabricate, invent, or make up, and from the passive past participle suffix -ulmuş, which yields the sense that something has been created or fabricated.

In standard Turkish, uyudurulmuş is used as an adjective to describe things that are not true or that have been invented. Examples include uydurulmuş haberler (fabricated news), uydurulmuş bir hikâye (a made-up story), or uydu ruldulmuş iddialar (fabricated claims). The term can carry a critical or skeptical tone, signaling misinformation, rumor, or deceit.

Etymology and morphology: uyudurmak comes from the verb uydur-, with the causative/passive suffix -ul- and the past participle suffix -muş, forming uyudurulmuş. The spelling uyudurulmu lacks the diacritic letters and the final ş, and in practice, if encountered, it is typically treated as a typographical variant or informal simplification of uyudurulmuş.

If you encounter the form uyudurulmu, consider the context to determine whether the intended meaning is the standard uyudurulmuş or a typographical variant. In most formal or written Turkish, uyudurulmuş is the correct form.
