girdiklerinde

Girdiklerinde is a Turkish word that translates to "when they entered" or "upon entering" in English. It is a verb form derived from the root verb "girmek," meaning "to enter." The suffix "-diklerinde" indicates a past tense action that occurred at the moment of or during the act of entering. This grammatical construction is commonly used to describe a sequence of events where one action follows another immediately.

For instance, "Kapı açıldığında ve girdiklerinde, odanın sessiz olduğunu gördüler" translates to "When the door opened and they entered, they saw that the room was silent." Here, "girdiklerinde" clearly marks the specific moment of their entry into the room. The word can also be used in a more general sense to refer to a recurring event. For example, "Her akşam eve girdiklerinde, yorgun olduklarını hissederler" means "Every evening when they enter the house, they feel tired." In this context, it describes a habitual action. The grammatical structure emphasizes the simultaneity or immediate succession of the entering action and the subsequent observation or feeling.
