dökün

Dökün is a Turkish verb form that functions as the second-person plural or formal imperative of the verb dökmek, meaning to pour or spill. The form is created by taking the stem dök- and adding the imperative suffix -ün, in accordance with Turkish vowel harmony. The singular informal imperative is dök, while the negative imperative is dömeyin (do not pour).

In use, dökün is employed to direct a group to pour a liquid from one container into others or into recipients, as in Suyu bardaklara dökün, meaning “Pour the water into the glasses.” Beyond literal pouring, dökmek can also appear in figurative expressions related to revealing or sharing information or feelings, such as “gerçekleri dökün,” a more literary or idiomatic way of urging someone to reveal the truth.

Grammatical notes: dökün is inherently transitive and requires a direct object (the thing to be poured). Negative construction follows the standard Turkish pattern, yielding dömeyin for “do not pour.” The verb dökülmek, a related intransitive form meaning “to spill” or “to be spilled,” shares the same root but functions differently in grammar.

See also: dökmek (to pour/spill), dökülmek (to spill or to fall out), and related Turkish imperative forms.

Overall, dökün is primarily used in commands addressing a group to pour liquids, with additional metaphorical uses in literary or colloquial language.
