anlatmanda

Anlatmanda is a Turkish grammatical form created from the verb root anlat- meaning "to tell" or "to explain." By adding the nominalizing suffix -ma, the word becomes anlatma, meaning "the act of telling" or "explanation." When the locative suffix -da/-de is added to this noun, the result is anlatmada, which translates roughly as "in the telling" or "in the act of explaining." This form marks the context, setting, or circumstance in which narration or explanation occurs and is used to discuss how something is told rather than what is told.

In Turkish grammar, anlatmada is an example of nominalization combined with a case suffix to indicate a spatial or situational context. It is not a standalone concept with a fixed meaning outside of its grammatical function; its interpretation depends on the surrounding sentence. The form can appear in discussions of narrative technique, rhetoric, or discourse analysis, where the author or speaker wants to refer to the manner or context of explanation.

Usage examples illustrate its function. For instance: "Bu bölümde anlatmada kullanılan örnekler dikkate değerdir." (In this section, the examples used in the telling are noteworthy.) "Anlatmada geçen zaman kipleri, anlatının akışını belirler." (The tenses used in the narration determine the flow of the narrative.) Related terms include anlatma (the act of telling), anlatıcı (narrator), and anlatım (narration or narration style).
