götürdüü

Götürdüü is an informal spelling encountered in Azerbaijani Turkic online discourse. It represents an elongated form of the verb götürdü, the past tense of götürmək meaning “to take” or “to carry away.” In standard orthography, the third-person singular past tense is götürdü; the extra ü in götürdüü is a stylistic elongation used to convey emphasis, surprise, or humor in informal writing. Such vowel lengthening is common in memes and social-media captions and is not part of formal Azerbaijani grammar.

Origin and function: The form arises from everyday spoken Azerbaijani where speakers lengthen vowels for emphasis, then replicates this in Latin-script text. It can appear anywhere a speaker wants to dramatize an act of taking, whether literal (taking an object) or figurative (taking time, attention, or an opportunity).

Usage and examples: Götürdüü is typically used to describe someone taking something—physically or metaphorically—in a humorous or exaggerated way. Examples in informal writing include: O, oyuncağı götürdüü. (He took the toy.) The form often appears in memes, captions, or comments to heighten the sense of action.

Geographic and cultural context: The spelling is mainly found in Azerbaijan and among Azerbaijani-speaking online communities. It is not used in formal written Azerbaijani and is largely a feature of internet slang and casual communication.
