Art/Literary - Slang
Turkish term or phrase: takildigin
complete sentence is:
Takildigin biryer olursa beni ara ve sana soyleyim.

I think it means something like:
this "takildigin" becomes (Aorist form) a conversation between me and you.
renee
English translation:...
Explanation:
it means, "if you can't understand anything about this issue (or whatever)"... call me and I'll tell you.

In this context, "takilmak" is used generally for "to be faced with obstacles related to thought processes". The person may be studying something, may be reading a book, etc.

to 'get stuck'


Explanation:
"Call me if you get stuck and I will tell you"

'getting stuck' is also another term used in general conversations for 'takilmak', however, not meaning 'stuck' in the literal sense.
