Sahalar

Sahalar is the plural form of the Turkish noun saha, meaning field, court, or area. It denotes physical spaces used for a specific activity as well as abstract domains of activity. In everyday language, sahalar appears in compounds that name particular spaces, such as spor sahaları (sports fields), futbol sahaları, and çalışma sahaları (work areas).

It is also used to indicate fields of study or sectors, for example bilim sahaları (fields of science) or çalışma sahaları (areas of work). The term is common in media, education, and government discourse when discussing space planning, resource allocation, or organizational scope. Examples illustrate its range: Futbol sahaları şehir genelinde bulunur. Bilim sahaları, bir bilim insanının çalışma alanlarını tanımlar.

Sahalar complements other Turkish terms for space and domain, such as alan and alanlar, and often carries a practical or organizational nuance. In sports contexts, it typically refers to the playing surface, while in academic or professional contexts it denotes a field or area of activity. The usage emphasizes delineation and scope, distinguishing between different spaces or domains within a broader system.
