Etkileimlerini

Etkileimlerini is a Turkish inflected form that generally corresponds to “their interactions” or “their influences” in English, depending on context. It is derived from the verb etkilemek (to influence or to interact) and the noun form etkileim, which denotes the act or result of influencing or interacting. In contemporary Turkish, the more common noun for “interaction” is etkileşim, while etkileim appears in some contexts or as a stylistic variant. The suffixes -ler (plural) and -i plus the combined definite object suffix -ni/-leri yield etkileimlerini, indicating a definite direct object that belongs to a third party (their interactions).

Usage and nuance: The form is used when discussing the actions or effects of a group and when the interactions are treated as a definite object within the sentence. For example: “Kullanıcıların etkileimlerini incelemek bu çalışmanın amaçlarındandır” or “Kullanıcıların etkileimlerini inceledik.” Another example: “Şirketin etkileimlerini ölçmek için bir anket yapıldı.” In everyday Turkish, speakers often prefer etkileşimleri (their interactions) or etkileri (their influences), with etkileimlerini appearing mainly in formal, technical, or corpus-based writing.
