Kaderlerini

Kaderlerini is a Turkish word meaning “their destinies” or “their fates” when used as a definite direct object. It is formed from the noun kader (fate) with the Turkish plural suffix -ler to make kaderler (fates), then the third-person plural possessive suffix -leri to indicate “their,” and finally the accusative suffix -i to mark the word as a direct object. The result is kaderlerini, a form commonly found in sentences where the fate of a group is the object of an action.

In Turkish morphology, words can carry multiple suffixes in a single word, and kaderlerini illustrates this agglutinative pattern. The ending -lerini specifically signals both possession by a plural subject and the accusative case, distinguishing kaderlerini from related forms such as kaderleri (their fates, in the genitive) or kaderlerini (their fates as objects in different contexts).

Usage and examples are typical in both literary and everyday Turkish. For example, "Kaderlerini değiştirmek için karar verdiler" means “They decided to change their destinies.” Another use is "Kaderlerini kabul etmek zorunda kaldılar," meaning “They had to accept their fates.” The form is common in discussions of fate, destiny, or collective outcomes and can carry a formal or literary tone depending on context.
