bölümüde

Bölümüde is not a standard Turkish word. It is generally considered a nonstandard spelling or a typographical error for bölümünde, the locative form of bölüm meaning “in the section, chapter, or division” depending on context. In Turkish, bölüm can refer to a part of a book, a unit within an organization, or a section of a space, and the locative suffix -de (or -da after vowel harmony) marks location, producing bölümünde in standard usage.

Etymology and formation: The base noun bölüm combines with suffixes to indicate possession or location. The correct locative form is bölümünde. The spelling bölümdei? would be treated as a misspelling; the variant bölümüde conflates suffixes and is not recognized as standard Turkish. The presence of the umlauted vowel ü in bölüm and the proper placement of suffixes follow Turkish orthographic conventions, which standardize the sequence to bölümünde rather than bölümüde.

Usage and acceptance: Bölümüde appears almost exclusively as a nonstandard form in informal writing, typographical mistakes, or OCR errors. It has no separate lexical meaning or recognized grammatical function in Turkish dictionaries. In formal, published Turkish, bölümünde is preferred, and bölümüde would typically be corrected to Bölümünde to avoid ambiguity.
