Biçimini

Biçimini is a Turkish grammatical form built from the noun biçim, which means form, shape, or manner. In everyday Turkish, biçim serves as a base for various inflected forms; biçimini specifically is the oblique form used when the noun is shown as a possessed form and also as the direct object in a clause.

Morphology and meaning: the word bičim receives a possessive suffix to indicate ownership or relation, and then an accusative suffix to mark it as the definite object. The resulting form, biçimini, therefore conveys a sense of “its form” or “your form” depending on the possessor in the sentence, and functions as the object of the verb. Turkish allows stacking of suffixes, so biçimini demonstrates how possession and case marking combine on a single noun.

Usage: biçimini is not a common standalone lexical item; it appears in contexts where the speaker discusses the form or appearance of something and the form is the object of an action. Examples include phrases like “Biçimini değiştirmek istiyorum” (I want to change its/form) or “Onun biçimini beğenmediler” (They did not like its form). In such sentences, the exact meaning of “its/your form” is determined by the broader context and pronoun reference.

Note: Biçimini illustrates Turkish suffix harmony and the way possessive plus accusative suffixes interact to create a single, case-marked object form from a base noun.
