günler

Günler is the Turkish word for "days" and is the plural form of gün, a common noun with several related meanings. In everyday Turkish, gün primarily denotes a day as a unit of time on the calendar, the daylight portion of a 24‑hour cycle, and, more loosely, a period or era.

The plural form günler is formed by adding the suffix -ler, following Turkish vowel harmony (gün → günler). It is used to refer to multiple days or to describe a span of time, as in "Günler hızla geçiyor" (The days are passing quickly) or "Geçen günler çok yoğundu" (The past few days were very busy). The word also appears in compounds derived from gün, such as günlük (daily, diary) and güncel (current, up-to-date).

Origins and related forms: Gün derives from Proto-Turkic *kün, with cognates in other Turkic languages such as Kazakh kün and Uzbek kun. In historical or literary Turkish, the stem can occasionally be linked to broader notions of time or era, though in modern usage it most often means calendar days or daylight.

Usage notes: Günler is a common, non-personal noun in Turkish and is not capitalized except at the start of a sentence or as part of a proper noun. It frequently appears in expressions about time, routine, and history, and its meaning is clear from context as either a reference to calendar days or to periods of time.
