Filtrelerinde

Filtrelerinde is a Turkish inflected form derived from the noun filtre (filter). It expresses a combination of plurality, a third-person plural possessor, and a locative meaning “in,” and can be translated as “in their filters.” The form is not a separate lexical item but a grammatical construction used in sentences referencing a group and a location.

Morphologically, filtrelerinde is built by attaching a sequence of suffixes to the base filtre: the plural suffix -ler to form filtreler (filters), the third-person plural possessive suffix -leri to indicate “their,” and the locative suffix -nde (harmonized as -nde) to mean “in.” The order and vowel harmony yield the final form filtrelerinde. This pattern illustrates Turkish agglutination, where multiple suffixes attach to a root to convey complex meaning in a single word.

Usage examples include sentences in which a group’s filters are the object of discussion. For example: Çalışanların filtrelerinde partiküller birikti. (Particles accumulated in the workers’ filters.) Araçların filtrelerinde tıkanıklık meydana geldi. (A blockage occurred in the vehicles’ filters.) In such contexts, the word demonstrates how Turkish encodes possession and location directly in the noun phrase.
