Bileklerini

Bileklerini is a Turkish linguistic form that means “their wrists” when used as the direct object in a sentence. It is derived from bilek, meaning wrist, and is formed through Turkish suffixes that indicate number and case, with the reference being third-person plural.

In Turkish, nouns can take multiple suffixes to express plurality, possession, and grammatical case. Bileklerini combines the plural suffix -ler with the accusative suffix -i, resulting in a form that signals a definite direct object belonging to a group referred to by a third-person plural context. The phrase translates naturally to “their wrists” in English, though its exact meaning can depend on surrounding possessive and context.

Usage notes:

- Bileklerini is commonly found where the wrists are the object of an action, such as tying, showing, or examining. Examples include sentences like “Bileklerini gösterdiler” (They showed their wrists) and “Doktor bileklerini muayene etti” (The doctor examined their wrists). In longer sentences, possessive elements can be expanded (for example, “onların bileklerini” = their wrists) without changing the core meaning of bileklerini.

- The form contrasts with bilekleri, which can appear in contexts where there is a different emphasis on definiteness or a different syntactic role.
