Bilgisi

Bilgisi is a Turkish noun form derived from the base word bilgi, meaning information or knowledge, combined with the third-person possessive suffix -si. The result denotes its information or its knowledge and is used to refer to information belonging to a particular subject, person, object, or organization. In sentences it typically functions as a possessive noun phrase, as in phrases like Şirketin bilgisi or Kişinin bilgisi.

Etymology and morphology: Turkish uses a system of possessive suffixes to express ownership. The suffix -si marks third-person singular possession (his/her/its). When attached to bilgi, the word becomes bilgisi, which can then appear within larger noun phrases or with a possessor expressed separately, such as Şirketin bilgisi (the company’s information). The written form reflects vowel harmony rules of Turkish, though the meaning remains straightforward.

Usage: Bilgisi is used to refer to information or knowledge that belongs to someone or something. It is common in formal or technical Turkish for conveying possession clearly, for example: Şirketin bilgisi sızdırıldı (The company’s information was leaked) or Bu raporun bilgisi eksik olabilir (The report’s information may be incomplete). In everyday speech, speakers often use bilgi or onun bilgisi, depending on context, and may avoid relying solely on the standalone form bilgisi.
