sakin

Sakin is a Turkish adjective meaning calm, quiet, or peaceful. It is commonly used to describe people, places, and atmospheres in Turkish.

In everyday use, sakin can describe a person’s temperament, for example “sakin bir insan” (a calm person), or a place or time, such as “sakin bir mahalle” (a quiet neighborhood) or “sakin bir akşam” (a peaceful evening). It also participates in verb forms and compounds, such as “sakinleşmek” (to calm down) and “sakinleşme” (calm-down or settling).

The term is primarily encountered in Turkish-language contexts, including daily speech, literature, and media. While the exact string may appear in non-Turkish texts as part of names or loan terms, its core meaning remains tied to calmness and quietness within Turkish usage.
