Karakterlerinin

Karakterlerinin is a Turkish form that functions as a genitive possessive for the plural noun karakterler (the characters). It can be translated as “of the characters” or, in context, “their characters,” indicating something that belongs to or is associated with multiple characters. The form is created by taking the plural karakterler and adding the third-person plural possessive/genitive suffix -lerinin, resulting in karakte rlerin + in to form karakterlerinin.

Usage of karakterlerinin is common in literary and media analysis, where it is used to discuss attributes, actions, or developments related to a set of characters. For example, Roman karakterlerinin özellikleri means “the characteristics of the novel’s characters,” and Film karakterlerinin motivasyonları means “the motivations of the film’s characters.” The phrase can link to various following nouns to specify what belongs to the characters, such as özellikleri (traits), gelişimi (development), or kararları (decisions).

Notes and related forms: karakterler means “the characters.” Karakterlerin can function as “the characters’” in contexts where the possessor is clear or general, whereas karakterlerinin explicitly marks possession by a plural subject and is often used when the following noun specifies what belongs to the characters. Turkish morphology allows chaining of plural, possessive, and other suffixes to convey precise relationships, making karakte rlerinin a common tool in analysis and description.
