Boyutunun

Boyutunun is a Turkish inflected form that functions as a possessive/genitive construction built on the noun boyut, meaning size or dimension. The base noun can take the accusative suffix -u to form boyutu (the size as a definite object), and then the third-person singular genitive suffix -nın/ -nin/ -nun/ -nün is added, yielding boyutunun. The result expresses a relationship such as “of its size” or “its size,” and it appears in noun phrases or in predicate contexts where the size of something is being discussed.

Morphology and usage

In Turkish grammar, boyutunun is formed by attaching suffixes in a specific order: the noun boyut takes the accusative marker when needed, producing boyutu, and then the genitive/possessive marker attaches to the entire unit, giving boyutunun. The exact shape of the genitive suffix (-nın/-nin/-nun/-nün) follows vowel harmony and phonological adjustments, but the meaning remains a possessive/genitive relation. As a bound morpheme, boyutunun does not stand alone as an independent word; it only appears within larger noun phrases or clauses that specify possession or attribution.

Examples

- Cihazın boyutunun küçültülmesi maliyetleri azaltır. (Reducing the device’s size lowers costs.)

- Bir ürünün boyutunun standartlara uygunluğu incelendi. (The product’s size conformity to standards was examined.)

- Kutu içeriğinin boyutunun doğru hesaplanması gereklidir. (The accurate calculation of the box’s size is required.)

Notes

Boyutunun is a common, neutral linguistic form in Turkish for expressing “of its size” or “its size.” It is distinct from the simpler boyutu (the size as a direct object) and from boyut (the base noun).
