buldunuz

Buldunuz is a Turkish verb form. It is the second-person plural past tense of bulmak, the verb meaning to find, locate, or discover. In English, it is typically translated as "you found" when addressing more than one person. Turkish marks tense and person by attaching suffixes to the verb stem, so buldu + nuz combines the past tense with the second-person plural subject to yield buldunuz.

Morphologically, the form is built from the root bul- plus the past tense marker -du (which agrees with vowel harmony) and the second-person plural suffix -nuz. The overall sequence is bul- + du + nuz, resulting in buldunuz. This pattern follows Turkish agglutinative grammar, where multiple suffixes append to the verb to express tense, aspect, mood, and person.

Usage notes include its function in past narrative statements or questions about events that the addressed group completed. It is used in contexts where the speaker refers to something found in the past by you all. For example, "Kayıtları buldunuz." means "You found the records." The interrogative form is formed by adding a question particle: "Buldunuz mu?" meaning "Did you find it?" Negative forms use the corresponding negative past suffixes, such as "Bulmadınız mı?" for "Did you not find (it)?"

Buldunuz contrasts with bulmuşsunuz, which expresses a present perfect nuance (you have found) rather than a simple past action. Both derive from bulmak, but they convey slightly different time frames or emphasis depending on context.
