Çizime

Çizime is the dative case form of the Turkish noun çizim, which means drawing, sketch, or plan. In Turkish grammar, the dative suffix -e marks direction toward or toward and for purposes related to the noun, so çizime translates roughly as “to the drawing,” “toward the drawing,” or “for drawing,” depending on the context. The form is used when the drawing is the indirect object or target of an action.

Etymology and formation: çizim itself is a noun derived from the verb kökçiz- (to draw) with the nominal suffix -im, forming the abstract or collective sense of the act or result of drawing. The dative case is then applied as -e, yielding çizime.

Usage and examples: Çizime bakmak means to look at the drawing. Çizime dikkat etmek means to pay attention to the drawing. Çizime odaklanmak can be used to indicate focusing attention on the drawing. In these constructions, çizime functions as the recipient or focus of the action, rather than as a subject or simple object.

Relation to related terms: The base word çizim refers to the act or product of drawing itself. Related terms include çizgisel (relating to lines) and çizgi (line). The dative form çizime is one of several inflected forms of çizim used to express grammatical relationships in Turkish sentences.
