Kazanmaya

Kazanmaya is a Turkish grammatical form derived from the verb kazanmak, which means to win or to earn. Kazanma is the noun form meaning the act or process of earning or winning. Kazanmaya, by adding the dative suffix -ya (or -ye, depending on vowel harmony), marks direction toward that act and is used when the noun functions as an indirect object or as part of a phrase expressing aim or orientation.

Formation and function: Kazanmaya is the dative case of the noun kazanma. It is not a separate verb; rather, it is a noun in the dative form that appears in constructions where the action of earning or winning is referenced as a goal, target, or area of focus. Its use is common in formal and written Turkish, particularly in expressions that describe aims, directions, or targeted efforts.

Usage: Kazanmaya occurs in phrases such as kazanmaya yönelik ... or kazanmaya odaklı ..., meaning “toward earning/winning” or “focused on earning/winning.” It can appear in policy, planning, or organizational contexts to indicate objectives related to earning or winning.

Examples:

- Kazanmaya yönelik çalışmalar hızlandı. (Work aimed at earning/achieving it has accelerated.)

- Kazanmaya odaklı politikalar uygulanıyor. (Policies focused on earning/winning it are being implemented.)
