Turkish term

arkasına döndü

Non-PRO Turkish to English Other Other Vocab Item
Greetings,

I just wanted to check that I'm right in believing that since “dönmek” usually means “to return”, “arkasına dönmek” means “to turn round”.

Context:
Aygül, arkasından koşarak, yakalıyayım diye düşünüp birdenbire tekrar arkasına döndü.

BTW, is “arkasına dönmek” the usual way of saying “to turn round” (i.e. to rotate 180 degrees on the spot where one is standing)?

All the best, and many thanks,

Simon

It's like saying, she turned around and thought she saw somebody.
