kullanmi

Kullanmi is a nonstandard orthographic form that appears in some Turkish texts as a variant of the standard noun kullanım, which means use or usage. The form is not recognized as a separate entry in authoritative Turkish dictionaries. It commonly arises in informal writing, quick notes, or digital contexts where Turkish characters or orthographic conventions are inconsistently applied.

Etymology and morphology: The standard word kullanım is derived from the verb kullan- meaning “to use” plus the nominalizing suffix -ım. The form kullanmi is not a recognized standard variant; it most likely reflects an orthographic simplification or transcription that conflates or omits Turkish vowels such as the dotless i (ı) or other diacritic cues. As a result, kullanmi does not carry a distinct semantic or grammatical identity beyond a nonstandard spelling of kullanım.

Usage and conventions: In formal Turkish writing, kullanım should be used. If a text contains kullanmi, readers typically interpret it as a typographical error, an encoding problem, or a nonstandard/intentional stylistic choice rather than a separate term. Some multilingual glossaries or brand names may render it this way for practical reasons, but such usage is nonstandard and generally discouraged in official or academic contexts.
