önerdik

önerdik is the simple past tense form of the Turkish verb önermek, meaning to recommend, propose, or advise. It expresses that the action of recommending was completed in the past and is used with a plural subject, typically the first-person plural “we.” In Turkish, the suffix -dik marks the past tense for the first-person plural; the subject pronoun biz (we) is usually omitted when clear from context.

The infinitive form is önermek, built from the stem öner- plus the infinitive suffix -mek. The past tense marker combined with the plural ending yields önerdik. Turkish verbs rely on suffixes for tense and person, so explicit pronouns are not required in most sentences.

Usage and examples:

- Toplantıda yeni çözümler önerdik. (We proposed new solutions at the meeting.)

- Müşteriye üç farklı yol önerdik ve hangisini uygulayacaklarına karar verdiler. (We recommended three different options to the client, and they decided which to implement.)

- İlgili kurul üyeleri, raporu inceledikten sonra bazı önerdiklerimiz doğrultusunda değişiklikler yapıldı. (After reviewing the report, changes were made in line with some of our recommendations.)

Related terms include önermek (to recommend), tavsiye etmek (to advise or recommend), and tavsiye (a recommendation). The form önerdik appears in narrative and formal writing to report collective recommendations by a group.
