Eksperimentimin

Eksperimentimin is a Turkish grammatical form meaning “of my experiment” and is used to express possession in relation to another noun, as in a phrase like “eksperimentimin sonuçları.” The construction combines the noun eksperiment (experiment) with the first-person singular possessive suffix -im to form eksperimentim (my experiment), and then adds the genitive suffix -in to indicate ownership of a following noun.

Etymology and morphology: eksperiment is a borrowed word from European languages, adapted into Turkish with typical Turkish suffixes. The possessive suffix -im marks the speaker as the owner of the noun, yielding eksperimentim. The genitive suffix -in attaches to the entire possessed noun to show “of” or “belonging to” the possessor, producing eksperimentimin. The genitive suffix appears in allomorphic forms -in, -ın, -un, -ün according to vowel harmony, but in this example it surfaces as -in after the -im possessive suffix, giving eksperimentimin.

Usage: Eksperimentimin sonuçları yayımlandı. is a common example meaning “The results of my experiment were published.” The construction is widely used in academic and informal Turkish to describe findings, observations, or items associated with a personal project or inquiry. Other sentences include: Eksperimentimin bulguları önceki çalışmalarla tutarlıydı; Eksperimentimin yaklaşımı bu çalışmada uygulanmıştır.

Notes: While eksperimentimin is a straightforward possessive-genitive construction, Turkish allows many similar formations with different roots and possessors. It illustrates how Turkish stacks suffixes to express complex relations in a compact, grammatical way.
