gånde

Günde is a Turkish word formed from gün (day) with the locative suffix -de, and functions as an adverbial expression meaning “in a day” or “per day.” It is used to indicate frequency or amount within a single 24‑hour period. In everyday Turkish, günde is most common in combinations that express how often something happens each day, especially with the word kez. For example: günde bir kez means “once a day” and günde iki kez means “twice a day.” Günde can also pair with time units or quantities to express a daily amount, such as günde 300 kalori (“300 calories per day”) or günde beş dakika meditasyon (“five minutes of meditation per day”). The phrase günde is typically used when precision about daily rhythm is needed, as opposed to her gün which simply means “every day” without specifying frequency or amount.

In grammar, günde marks a temporal reference inside a day; it answers questions like “how often per day” or “how much per day” and is followed by numerals, units, or nouns. It is common in health, nutrition, schedules, and behavioral contexts.

Related terms include gün, gündelik (daily; everyday), and her gün (every day).
