kazanlmas

Kazanlmas, commonly written kazanılma in Turkish, is a noun that denotes the act or process of obtaining, earning, or winning something. It is a nominalization derived from the verb kazanmak (to win or to earn) through the passive construction kazan-ıl-ma, yielding the meaning of being won or obtained.

Morphology and variants: The form kazanılma is created by adding the passive suffix -ıl- to the verb root kazan- and then the nominalization suffix -ma. The noun can appear with various possessive or case endings in sentences (for example kazanılmanın, kazanılmada, kazanılacak). In plain text or non-Turkish contexts, the ASCII variant kazanlmas may be used as a transliteration or in environments where diacritics are unavailable.

Usage: kazanılma is most common in formal, bureaucratic, or academic Turkish, where discussions focus on the process or outcome of obtaining rights, contracts, titles, or rewards. In everyday language, speakers often use kazanmak or kazanılması in place of the more technical form.

Examples:

- Ödülün kazanılması için gerekli şartlar yerine getirildi. (The conditions necessary for obtaining the prize were met.)

- Projenin kazanılmasının adil ve şeffaf olması, kurumun meşruiyetini güçlendirir. (The obtaining of the project’s success being fair and transparent strengthens the institution’s legitimacy.)
