dökümüm

Dökümüm is a Turkish noun formed by adding the first-person singular possessive suffix to döküm, meaning my casting or my metal casting. The word can refer to the act of pouring molten metal into a mold to create a part or object, or to the resulting casting itself, depending on the context.

In metalworking and manufacturing, döküm denotes a casting process and its variations, such as sand casting, investment casting, and die casting. The term covers both the production method and the produced part. Historically, döküm also related to the casting of metal type used in printing, a practice known as metal type casting. In modern Turkish, döküm is still used in technical and industrial contexts, whereas more general terms may accompany it to specify the technique or material.

As a possessive form, dökümüm typically appears in sentences referring to a person’s own casting work or results. For example, phrases like “Dökümüm tamamlandı” (My casting is finished) or “Dökümüm hatalı çıktı” (My casting turned out defective) illustrate its use. The word follows standard Turkish vowel harmony and possessive morphology, with related forms such as dökümümün (my casting’s) and dökümümde (in my casting) used as appropriate.
