Günlüklerin

Günlüklerin is Turkish for the genitive plural form of the noun günlükler, meaning diaries or journals. The base noun günlük can refer to a diary or to something daily, with günlükler forming the plural and günlüklerin forming the genitive plural. In this form, -ler marks the plural, and -in fused to the plural yields -lerin to express possession, as in günlüklerin içeriği (the contents of the diaries) or günlüklerin sayfaları (the diaries’ pages). The use of günlüklerin signals ownership or association with diaries.

In usage, günlükler denotes a range of diary-like records. Personal diaries kept by individuals, travel journals, and wartime or ship logs are all commonly described as günlükler. The genitive form günlüklerin is typical in phrases that discuss what belongs to or is contained in the diaries, such as içeriği, sayfaları, ya da belgeleri. With the rise of digital media, online or blog-style diary records are also referred to using günlüğe ilişkin günlükler or simply günlükler in more general contexts.

Etymologically, günlük derives from gün (day) with the suffix -lük, forming a noun that can denote a daily record or a diary, while günlükler is the plural, and günlüklerin is the possessive plural. As a linguistic feature, günlüklerin demonstrates Turkish suffixing patterns: plural marking with -ler and genitive marking with -in after the plural. In scholarly writing, günlüklerin contents and reliability are often analyzed as primary sources for social and cultural history.
