This is the 4418th most frequent Turkish word.
almadım
"I did not take" or "I did not buy."
In this context, 'almadım' is used to convey that the speaker did not fulfill an action (buying in this case) that they were supposed to do.
Kitabı almam gerekti fakat henüz almadım.
I needed to buy the book, but I haven't bought it yet.
Here, 'almadım' is used to express an action that the speaker deliberately chose not to perform (buying fruits from the market).
Pazardan meyve almadım çünkü çok pahalıydı.
I didn't buy fruit from the market because it was too expensive.
In this sentence, 'almadım' refers to not receiving something (an invitation) rather than not actively acquiring it.
