Dikilmesini

Dikilmesini is a Turkish noun that denotes the act or process of being planted or erected. It is derived from the passive verb form dikilmek (to be planted or erected) and formed with the nominalizing suffix -mesi, producing a noun clause that can function as the object or subject of another verb.

In Turkish grammar, the -mesi/-ması suffix turns a verb into a noun clause. The form dikilmesini specifically often appears as the object of a verb, as in statements about planning, requesting, or awaiting the act of planting or erecting. Because it is a nominalized clause, it can be combined with verbs such as istemek (to want), beklemek (to wait), öngörmek (to foresee), or yapmak (to do).

Usage examples illustrate its function. Ağaçların dikilmesini istiyoruz means “We want the trees to be planted.” Mecliste, parkın dikilmesini hızlandıracak tedbirler öngörüldü means “In the assembly, measures to accelerate the planting of trees in the park were foreseen.” Fidanların dikilmesini bekleyen çevre grupları var means “There are environmental groups waiting for the planting of saplings.”

Notes on nuance: dikilmesini often marks the target of a verb’s action or expectation, functioning as a clause that is being discussed, requested, or evaluated. It is one of several Turkish nominalizations used to express actions as abstract concepts within sentences.
