tabanlar

Tabanlar is the Turkish plural form of taban, a noun that broadly denotes base, bottom, or foundation. It is used for the lower surface of objects, the base that supports something, or the bottom end of a structure.

In human anatomy and everyday speech, tabanlar commonly refer to the soles of the feet, as in ayak tabanları (the soles of the feet). It may also describe the soles of footwear. The term can thus denote the underside that bears weight or contact with a surface.

In mathematics and computing, taban is the term for the base of a numeral system. Phrases such as ikili taban (base-2) and onluk taban (base-10) are common; tabanlar can refer to multiple bases in a discussion about numeral representations or base conversion.

In construction and manufacturing, taban may refer to the bottom surface or base of a component, such as a taban yüzeyi (base surface) or taban plakası (base plate). The word also appears in phrases describing the foundations of buildings, though temel is frequently used to denote foundations in architectural contexts.

Etymology and usage: The word taban is Turkish for bottom or base; tabanlar is its plural form. The term is versatile, appearing in everyday language, anatomy, mathematics, and technical contexts to describe underpinnings, supports, or bases. See also taban.
