konumak

Konumak is a Turkish verb meaning to take up a position or to be located in a particular place. The core sense is intransitive: an object or person becomes situated in a location. The term is common in formal or technical language, such as geography, urban planning, logistics, and information technology, where precise placement or localization is discussed. The noun konum means location or position, and konumak is formed from konum with the infinitive suffix -mak.

A closely related verb, konumlanmak, expresses the act of positioning oneself or becoming located, often used for people or objects taking a position within a space. The derived transitive verb konumlandırmak means to position or locate something, and is widely used in contexts such as mapping, product positioning, or spatial planning.

In everyday Turkish, speakers more commonly use yerleşmek (to settle) or bulunmak (to be located) when referring to locations, or oturmak for seating. Konumak thus tends to appear in formal descriptions or technical writing rather than casual speech.

Etymology: The verb is built from the noun konum (location, position) plus the standard infinitive suffix -mak, with konum itself tracing to Turkish roots for 'place' or 'location.'
