dikkate

Dikkate is a Turkish word formed from dikkat, meaning attention or care, with the dative suffix -e. In Turkish, this grammatical form is used in combination with verbs to express what is being paid attention to or considered. The most common idiom is dikkate almak, which means to take something into account or to consider it. The construction often functions as a fixed verbal phrase, with dikkate effectively marking the target of the attention or consideration.

In usage, dikkate almak is employed to indicate that certain factors should be weighed when forming a judgment or decision. For example, “Bu olgu dikkate alınmalıdır” means that this matter should be taken into account. Another frequent expression is “dikkate değer,” meaning worth noting or noteworthy. The phrase is common in formal contexts such as legal, administrative, academic, and journalistic writing, where careful consideration of evidence, data, or circumstances is required. Dikkate alınacak konular, bütçe, zaman, risk veya yenilikler gibi çeşitli faktörleri kapsayabilir.

Notes on usage and nuance: dikkate is not typically used alone as a standalone noun in everyday speech; it appears in bound forms of phrases with almak, değer, veya alınacak. It belongs to a set of terms centered on attention and consideration, alongside dikkat (attention) and dikkatli (careful). In Turkish, these expressions help convey the importance of accounting for specific elements in reasoning and communication.
