Adresimi

Adresimi is a Turkish phrase that means “my address.” It is formed from the noun adres (address) combined with the first-person singular possessive suffix -im to yield adresim (my address). When used as a definite direct object, Turkish adds the accusative suffix -i, resulting in adresimi. This sequence—noun + possessive suffix + accusative suffix—follows Turkish vowel harmony and agglutinative grammar.

Etymology and structure: The word adres is a loanword from French adresse, reflecting the common Turkish practice of adopting foreign terms for modern concepts. The possessive suffix -im indicates ownership by the speaker, while the accusative suffix -i marks definiteness and direct object role. Because of Turkish syntax, the same base can appear in different cases (adresim, adresimi, etc.) depending on its grammatical function in a sentence.

Usage: Adresimi is widely used in everyday Turkish. For example, “Adresimi yazdım” means “I wrote down my address,” and “Adresimi güncelleyin” means “Please update my address.” In general, possessive forms with -im are attached to nouns, and the addition of -i turns the phrase into a definite direct object. Context determines whether the form appears with varying suffix orders, such as adresim (my address) or adresimi (my address as the object).
