atma

This is the 3027th most frequent Turkish word.


atma

The Turkish word "atma" means "throwing" or "tossing."


In this sentence, 'atma' is used as a negative imperative (do not do it) derived from the verb 'atmak,' meaning to throw.

Lütfen çöpü dışarı atma.

Please do not throw the trash outside.


Here, 'atma' is again a negative imperative, but 'atmak' takes on the meaning of spreading or proposing ideas or statements.

Bu tür yalanları ortaya atma!

Do not spread such lies!


In this context, 'atma' colloquially means to exaggerate or to lie, derived from a figurative use of 'atmak.'

Boş vaatlerde bulunmayı bırak, artık yeter, atma!

Stop making empty promises, it's enough; stop exaggerating!
