Saattakmak

Saattakmak is a Turkish verb meaning to wear a watch. In standard Turkish it is written as two words: saat takmak. The term combines saat, meaning watch or clock, and takmak, a versatile verb meaning to put on, to wear, or to attach. When used, it describes the act of putting on a wristwatch and continuing to wear it.

Conjugation and usage: Saat takıyorum (I am wearing a watch), saat takıyorsun (you are wearing a watch), o saat takıyor (he/she is wearing a watch). Past tense: saat taktım (I wore a watch), taktın (you wore), taktık (we wore). Future: saat takacağım (I will wear a watch). The pattern applies to other subjects as well. The imperative form is rarely used in everyday speech, and most statements about wearing a watch rely on the present or past tenses.

Notes: Some writers encounter an informal or typographical variant saattakmak, but authoritative Turkish sources list the standard form as saat takmak. Related expressions include saat kurmak (to wind a clock/watch) and saat ayarlamak (to set the time on a watch). Cultural usage centers on personal attire and fashion, as wearing a watch is a common practice in Turkish-speaking contexts.
