yapman

Yapman is a Turkish term that refers to the nominalized form of the verb yapmak, which means to do or to make. In Turkish, yapman denotes the act or process of doing something and is commonly translated into English as “doing” or “the doing.” It functions as a noun within sentences and can carry inflections to indicate the role of the action in a clause, such as subject or object, and to reflect possessive relationships (for example, the idea of “your doing”).

In Turkish grammar, yapman is a result of verbal nominalization. It appears in phrases where the act itself is the focus, such as “yapman gereken şey” (the thing you have to do) or “yapmanla ilgili” (concerning what you do). The form is closely related to other nominalized expressions built from the same verb, including yapma (the act of doing) and related constructions that modify or refer to the action.

The term yapman is primarily used within Turkish-language contexts. Outside of Turkish sources, it is not a widely recognized word in English or other languages, and its appearance is typically limited to linguistic descriptions or Turkish texts. It serves as an example of Turkish verbal noun formation and illustrates how Turkish converts verbs into noun-like constituents that can participate in complex noun phrases.
