In everyday language
Worry means thinking with concern about problems or possible unwanted outcomes. Some concerns point to an action we can take; others revolve around possibilities we cannot settle now.
A closer look
For this entry, worry names the thinking component of apprehension. NHS self-help material distinguishes actionable problems from hypothetical concerns. Persistent, excessive worry that is hard to control has clinical relevance, but everyday worrying is not itself a diagnosis.
In Turkish, endişe and kaygı may overlap. This dictionary uses endişe to foreground a thought process, while kaygı names the wider experience. This is an editorial distinction, not a universal translation rule.
