Çevirirdim

Çevirirdim is a Turkish verb form. It is the first-person singular conditional past tense of the verb "çevirmek," which means "to turn," "to translate," or "to convert." The suffix "-irdim" indicates a hypothetical or conditional past action performed by the speaker.

This form expresses a past action that would have happened under certain conditions, but those conditions were not met. For example, "Kitabı okuyabilseydim, çevirirdim" translates to "If I could have read the book, I would have translated it." Here, the ability to read the book was a condition that was not fulfilled, hence the translation did not occur.

Another common usage is to express regret or a missed opportunity in the past. For instance, "Daha önce bilseydim, yardım ederdim" means "If I had known earlier, I would have helped." This implies that the speaker did not help because they lacked the prior knowledge.

The "çevirirdim" form is characterized by the root "çevir-" followed by the conditional suffix "-ir-" and the past tense suffix "-di," with the first-person singular possessive suffix "-m" attached. This grammatical structure creates a nuanced expression of unrealized past actions.
