Haberleri

Haberleri is a Turkish word formed from haber, meaning news or report. It is not a single, fixed lexeme with a standalone meaning; rather, it is a grammatical form created by attaching suffixes to haber. The exact sense of haberleri depends on the surrounding suffix chain and the sentence.

In Turkish, -ler/-lar is a plural suffix, so haberler means “the news” or “news items.” The form haberleri can then appear in two common ways depending on the suffix context:

- As the accusative plural: haberler + i, marking the plural noun as a definite direct object. For example, haberleri gördüm means “I saw the news” or “I saw the news items.”

- As a combination that conveys possession with the third-person plural, specifically the possessive suffix -leri attached after the plural form: onarın haberleri or onların haberleri means “their news.” In this usage, the morphemes indicate ownership rather than a direct object.

Because Turkish grammar relies on suffixes for number, case, and possession, haberleri is highly context-dependent. Without additional words, its function (object, subject, or possessor phrase) is unclear, and listeners rely on sentence structure and accompanying pronouns to determine meaning.
