düündüm

Düündüm is not a standard Turkish word. In standard Turkish, the verb form meaning “I thought” is düşündüm, which comes from the verb düşünmek (to think). The form düündüm is generally considered a misspelling or typographical error, and it is not recognized in formal dictionaries or most educational contexts.

Etymology and morphology: düşün- is the verb stem for think, from which common Turkish past tense forms are built. The first-person singular past tense suffix is -düm, yielding düşünü-düm? In practice, the correct combination yields düşündüm. The erroneous düündüm omits the phoneme ş and the proper stem shape, making it nonstandard in Turkish orthography. When written correctly, the root keeps the sound of the š (ş) consonant as in düşün-.

Pronunciation: düşündüm is pronounced roughly as “dü-şün-düm,” with the ü as in ü in müzik and the ş as the sh sound in shore. The incorrect düündüm would not reflect the true Turkish pronunciation and would likely be treated as a spelling mistake by readers or spell-checkers.

Usage and notes: If encountered in Turkish text, düündüm should be corrected to düşündüm. This form appears primarily as a typo, a result of keyboard errors, or informal writing. No standard meaning or usage exists for düündüm in formal Turkish; it does not appear in reputable Turkish dictionaries.
