sürüklemenin

Sürüklemenin is a Turkish term that translates to "dragging" or "slipping" in English. It most commonly refers to the phenomenon of a boat or ship being pulled along the seabed or a riverbed, often unintentionally. This can occur due to strong currents, shallow water, or when a vessel is being towed and the towing line snags on an obstruction. The act of sürüklemenin can cause damage to the vessel's hull, propellers, and rudder, and can also lead to the vessel becoming stranded. In maritime contexts, actions are often taken to avoid or mitigate sürüklemenin, such as careful navigation in shallow or current-affected waters, using appropriate towing techniques, and having emergency procedures in place. The term can also be used metaphorically to describe a situation where something or someone is being pulled along or influenced against their will, or a process that is moving slowly and with difficulty. For example, a project might be described as experiencing sürüklemenin if it is facing persistent delays and obstacles, making progress feel like a struggle against an unseen force.
