When discussing complex issues like the environment or renewable energy, a solution might be excellent in one way but flawed in another. To specify the exact angle from which you are evaluating a situation, Turkish uses the words **açısından** and **bakımından** to mean "in terms of," "regarding," or "from the perspective of."

### Forming the Structure

Both **açısından** (literally: from its angle) and **bakımından** (literally: from its view) are used interchangeably in this context. To build this structure, simply take the noun or concept you are evaluating and place **açısından** or **bakımından** directly after it.

- **çevre açısından** (in terms of the environment)
- **maliyet bakımından** (in terms of cost)

{{item:858712}}

If the concept you are evaluating is an adjective-noun phrase (like "ecological balance" or "renewable energy"), the word simply follows the whole phrase.

### Advantages and Disadvantages

These words are incredibly useful for weighing the pros and cons of different practices. You will frequently see them paired with evaluating words like **avantajlı** (advantageous) or **dezavantaj** (disadvantage).

{{item:858719}}

You can easily use this structure in questions to prompt someone else to weigh in on a specific metric.

### Evaluating from Multiple Angles

When evaluating a subject from multiple perspectives at once, you can mix and match **açısından** and **bakımından** in the same sentence to avoid sounding repetitive. This is especially common when making a strong case using the structure **sadece ... değil, aynı zamanda ... da** (not only ... but also ...).
