Eslatma

Eslatma is a noun used in several Turkic languages, most notably Uzbek and Azerbaijani, meaning a reminder, note, or prompt. It refers to information intended to jog memory or trigger an action, such as a written note, a calendar entry, or a digital notification.

The word is formed from the verb eslatmoq, meaning to remind, with the nominalizing suffix -ma. Across Turkic languages, eslatma denotes the act or result of reminding. In Uzbek and Azerbaijani, eslatma is a standard term for reminders, notes, or cues. In Turkish, the corresponding common term is hatırlatma, while eslatma is less typical and may appear in loanword contexts or regional usage.

Usage and applications of eslatma span everyday life and media. It appears as physical notes or sticky reminders, calendar entries, and phone or computer notifications. In publishing or broadcasting, eslatma can designate a short reminder box or note intended to prompt the reader or viewer. In digital interfaces tailored to Uzbek- or Azerbaijani-speaking users, eslatma features align with standard reminder or alert functions.

See also: reminder, to-do list, memory. Variants are typically written eslatma in Latin script (e.g., Uzbek, Azerbaijani); in other scripts such as Uzbek Cyrillic, it may appear as эслатма. The term reflects common linguistic roots in Turkic languages and their shared approaches to marking memory aids.
