mekanlarnda

Mekanlarnda is not a standard Turkish word and does not appear as a recognized entry in reputable Turkish dictionaries. When it shows up in texts, it is usually considered a nonstandard spelling, likely a typographical error or a mishearing of related locative forms such as mekanlarda or mekanlarında. The form does not correspond to a widely used concrete meaning by itself in Turkish.

In Turkish, the noun mekan means “place.” Common locative formations built from this noun include mekanlarda (in places) and mekanlarında (in their places). These forms reflect Turkish suffixal harmony and attachment rules that govern how location and possession are expressed in a single word. The precise spelling changes with vowel harmony and suffix order, and standard usage follows established patterns rather than ad hoc spellings.

Because mekanlarnda is not recognized as correct Turkish, its interpretation is uncertain and depends on context. In most cases, readers should replace it with the appropriate standard form to avoid ambiguity: mekanlarda for “in places,” or mekanlarında for “in their places,” depending on the intended meaning.
