Birimdeki

Birimdeki is a Turkish morphological form formed from birim (unit, department) plus the locative suffix -de (in, at) and the fused relative suffix -ki. The result is a modifier that indicates the referent is located in or associated with a particular unit. It is commonly translated as "in the unit" or "in the unit’s" and is used to specify people, objects, or issues connected to that unit.

In usage, birimdeki directly precedes the noun it modifies. Examples include birimdeki çalışanlar (the employees in the unit), birimdeki dosyalar (the files in the unit), and birimdeki sorunlar (the problems in the unit). The form is gender-neutral and agrees with the following noun in number, so birimdeki çalışan becomes birimdeki çalışanlar when plural.

Notes on grammar: -ki is a fused suffix that forms a relative or identifying modifier, turning a noun into a phrase that locates or relates it to the preceding noun. The -deki construction appears in many Turkish expressions such as evdeki kitap (the book in the house) or okuldeki öğrenciler (the students at the school). Its exact meaning depends on context and the noun that follows.
