dönüürler

Düünürler is a plural noun found in Turkic language contexts. The term’s exact meaning is not uniform and can vary by language, region, and historical period. In some Azerbaijani- and Turkish-speaking communities, düünürler is linked to the wedding ceremony (the düün) and may designate people who participate in the celebration—such as musicians, storytellers, or ritual specialists—or simply the wedding guests who share in the festivities. In other local usages, düünürler can refer more broadly to kin or members of a social circle attending the düün. The word illustrates Turkic plural formation with the suffix -lər and shows how social roles can be encoded in vocabulary around communal celebrations.

Etymology and usage: The term is formed from a root associated with the wedding ceremony, combined with a plural suffix. Regional folk speech often explains shifts in meaning, making precise definitions context-dependent.

Cultural context: Düünürler is embedded in the performative and reciprocal aspects of weddings, including music, storytelling, hospitality, and social obligations. Because it emerges from oral tradition, documented definitions and examples vary across communities.
