Dengesine

Dengesine is a Turkish grammatical form built from the noun den­ge (balance, equilibrium) plus the third-person singular possessive suffix -si (its) and the dative case suffix -e (to). The resulting phrase literally means “to its balance” and is used to mark the indirect object or the target of an action, referring to the balance or stability of the thing possessed by the subject. It can describe physical balance as well as more abstract forms of balance depending on context.

Morphology and usage: The form is created by combining den­ge with the possessive suffix -si to form dengesi (its balance), then adding the dative suffix -e to yield dengesine. This suffix sequence is a common pattern in Turkish for indicating direction toward or toward the state of the possessed noun. Dengesine typically occurs with verbs that imply impact on balance or stability, such as zarar vermek (to damage) or bozmak (to disrupt).

Examples:

- Deprem, binanın dengesine zarar verdi. (The earthquake damaged the building’s balance.)

- Bu tür sarsıntılar, makinenin dengesine zarar verebilir. (Such tremors can disrupt the machine’s balance.)

Notes: Dengesine is not a standalone noun but a postpositional phrase formed through standard Turkish possessive and case suffixes. It is commonly found in technical, engineering, and descriptive contexts where the stability or equilibrium of a system, structure, or object is being discussed.
