Davranla

Davranla is a Turkish expression derived from the verb davranmak, meaning to behave or act. It functions as an informal imperative and is used to tell someone to comport themselves in a certain way. The form combines the verb stem davran- with an imperative mood commonly found in casual Turkish speech, and it may appear as a standalone exhortation or as part of a longer sentence.

In usage, davranla is typical in everyday conversation, in dialogue, and in online writing where informality or immediacy is intended. It is less common in formal Turkish; more formal equivalents would use phrases such as lütfen davranın or davranışlarınızı düzenleyiniz. The expression can carry a range of tonalities, from light admonition to urgent instruction, depending on context, intonation, and accompanying nonverbal cues.

Etymology and grammar notes: davran- comes from the root of the verb “davranmak” (to behave, to act). As with many Turkish imperatives, the exact form reflects casual speech patterns and may vary with pronouns or emphasis.
