Döngülerine

Döngülerine is a Turkish word form built from the noun döngü, meaning loop or cycle. The form combines the plural suffix -ler/-lar, a possessive suffix indicating third-person plural (their), and a dative case suffix -e/-a. The resulting word conveys movement toward or into loops belonging to others, roughly translating to “to their loops” or “into their loops” depending on the context.

Morphologically, döngülerine shows how Turkish stacks affixes in a specific order: root + plural suffix + possessive suffix + case suffix. In this case, döngü becomes döngüler with the plural marker, then carries the possessive element that marks “their,” and finally the dative marker that marks direction toward. The exact vowels in the suffixes harmonize with the root according to Turkish vowel harmony rules, producing a form that ends in -ine.

In practice, döngülerine is used in sentences where the action concerns loops or cycles that belong to a group. It can refer to cycles in mathematical or procedural contexts, as well as loops in programming or process workflows, when the emphasis is on direction toward or focus on those loops owned by others. The construction is primarily a grammatical device and may appear in technical or formal Turkish.

Examples:

- Döngülerine odaklandılar. Translation: They focused on their loops.

- Döngülerine ait verileri incelediler. Translation: They examined data belonging to their loops.

- Proje ekibi döngülerine bakmakla görevliydi. Translation: The project team was responsible for looking at their loops.
