Yöneldii

Yöneldii is a term that appears in some Turkic-language linguistic sources as a historical or dialectal form related to the verb yönel-, meaning to direct or to face toward. In standard modern Kazakh orthography, the corresponding simple past form is yöneldi, while yönelmek remains the infinitive “to direct” or “to turn toward.” The variant yöneldii is typically discussed in discussions of transliteration practices or regional speech, where double i elements reflect particular letter mappings used by researchers or in older texts.

Etymology and form: The root yönel- conveys directional orientation, with suffixes marking tense or aspect. The variant yöneldii is not part of the contemporary, standardized Kazakh verb paradigm, but appears in some dialectal records or Latin-script transcriptions of historical materials. Scholars note that spelling variants such as yöneldii often arise from differences in capturing vowel quantity and consonant quality in non-Cyrillic scripts.

Attestation and use: Yöneldii is primarily of interest to linguists studying historical texts, regional speech patterns, or philological transcription practices. It is cited as an example of how verb stems can appear with alternative vowel sequences in different sources, rather than as a separate, living verb form in contemporary usage.
