Eserlerini

Eserlerini is a Turkish noun phrase that means “their works.” It is formed from the base noun eser (work, creation) with the plural suffix -ler to yield eserler (works) and a third-person plural possessive suffix -leri to indicate ownership by “them.” When used as the direct object in a sentence, the accusative suffix -i is appended, producing eserlerini.

Forms and usage

- eserler = works (plural subject or generic reference)

- eserleri = their works (possessive; in subject position or as a non-accusative noun phrase)

- eserlerini = their works (accusative, i.e., as the object of the verb)

The exact meaning depends on context but generally refers to works created by a group or multiple people whose ownership is indicated by the possessive suffixes.

Examples

- Onların eserlerini inceledik. (We examined their works.)

- Onların eserleri çok beğenildi. (Their works were widely praised.)

Context and nuance

Eserleri is commonly used in literary, academic, and cultural discussions to refer to the body of works produced by a person, a group, or an institution. The term encompasses various forms of creative output, such as books, paintings, music, or other artifacts regarded as a person’s or group’s productions. The sentence-ending suffixes in Turkish often convey both possession and grammatical role (subject, object), so eserlerini can function as a definite object form when needed.

Etymology and related terms

The word eser originates from Turkish, with eserin (the work) and eserler (works) forming the natural plural and possessive extensions. Related forms include eseri (his/her/its work), eserler (works), and eserleri (their works).
