Kodla

Kodla is a Turkish verb meaning to code or to program. It is built from the noun kod, meaning code, which is itself borrowed from the English word code. The verb form kodlamak denotes the act of writing code or creating software, and its imperative form kodla is used to give a direct instruction to code something. The polite or plural imperative is kodlayın.

In everyday Turkish, kodla appears in computing and educational contexts. It is common in coding tutorials, classroom instructions, and software development discussions. The term emphasizes the action of writing computer code rather than broader activities such as planning or designing software, which may be expressed with related verbs such as programla (to program).

Morphology and related forms: the infinitive is kodlamak, from which other forms are derived for different tenses and persons. Kodla is typically used for second-person singular commands, while kodlayın is used as a formal or plural command. The word is often contrasted with programla, though both can be used in overlap when referring to creating software.
