Saklanm

Saklanm is a term used in linguistic discussions to denote the act or state of hiding. It is generally described as a nominalized form related to the Turkish verb saklanmak, which means to hide oneself.

In standard Turkish, the common noun for this concept is saklanma, meaning the act of hiding. The form saklanm is not a widely attested dictionary entry; rather, it appears in some linguistic analyses as an analytic stem or as a way to illustrate the formation of deverbal nouns from saklanmak.

Usage in cross-linguistic descriptions often treats saklanm as a way to discuss concealment as a process or state, and it can reflect different readings in act-noun versus state-noun constructions within Turkish grammar. The term can be used to highlight how languages encode actions of hiding, whether physical concealment or social or psychological concealment.

Related concepts include nominalization and deverbal nouns in Turkish, as well as broader notions of concealment and hiding in linguistic and cultural contexts.
