Hedefleri

Hedefleri is the Turkish noun form derived from hedef, meaning target, aim, or goal. In Turkish, nouns receive suffixes to indicate number, definiteness, and possession, so hedefleri can function as “the targets” or “their targets” within a sentence. It is the plural form, and the exact nuance depends on context and accompanying pronouns or verbs.

Usage of hedefleri spans multiple domains. In business and planning, hedefleri denotes performance targets or sales goals. In project management, it refers to objectives to be achieved within a timeline. In military, strategic, or security discussions, hedefleri can denote planned or designated targets. In everyday language, it may simply mean “the targets” of discussion or analysis, again depending on context and syntax.

Morphology and variants are typical of Turkish grammar. The base noun is hedef. The plural form is hedefler. With additional suffixes, the noun can take on possessive or definite-object meaning, yielding forms such as hedefleri. The precise reading—whether it means “the targets” or “their targets”—is determined by surrounding words and the grammatical role of the noun in the sentence. Related verbs include hedeflemek (to target or to aim) and other forms built from the same root.

Translation and nuance: In English, hedefleri is generally translated as targets or goals, with the exact sense guided by context. The term sits alongside synonyms such as amaç (goal) and with related concepts in planning, evaluation, and strategy.
