önerdiniz

Önerdiniz is a Turkish verb form derived from önermek, meaning to recommend. It represents the simple past tense form used with the second-person plural pronoun siz, which in Turkish corresponds to you (plural) or can function as a polite address in singular form. Therefore, önerdiniz translates roughly to “you (all) recommended” or, in contexts of formal address, “you recommended.”

Morphology and meaning: The form is built from the verb stem öner-, combined with the past tense marker -di and the second-person plural ending -niz. The result is a single word that conveys a completed action in the past performed by the addressed group. Turkish vowel harmony and the language’s agglutinative structure govern the exact spelling and pronunciation.

Usage: Önerdiniz is used when recounting past recommendations made by you all. For example, Etkinlik için birkaç isim önerdiniz means “You recommended a few names for the event.” It can appear in narrative, reported speech, or conversational contexts where the speaker refers to past advice or suggestions given by the addressees.

Notes: In Turkish, siz can mean both plural you and a formal singular you, depending on context. The past tense ending -diniz is therefore compatible with either interpretation, and the exact sense is determined by the surrounding discourse.
