Kategorisini

Kategorisini is a Turkish noun phrase meaning “its category” when used as the direct object of a sentence. It is formed from kategori (category) plus the third-person possessive suffix -si, and the accusative case suffix -ni, yielding kategorisini. In Turkish, possessive suffixes attach before case suffixes, so the sequence kategori + si + ni produces kategorisini. The vowel in the possessive suffix is determined by vowel harmony with the stem, and the final form you see is typically kategorisini.

Kategorisini functions as the direct object of a verb or a participle. For example: “Kategorisini belirlemek için veri topladılar” means “They collected data to determine its category.” Another example: “Kategorisini değiştirmek istiyorum” means “I want to change its category.” “Kategorisini güncellediler” is a natural sentence when a system or item is reclassified.

As a morphologically specific form, kategorisini is part of Turkish noun phrase morphology and is not a standalone lexical item. It contrasts with kategorisi, which means “its category” when not in the accusative, or can appear in other cases depending on suffixes or sentence structure. The form illustrates how Turkish stacks possessive and case suffixes on a base noun to create a compact object noun phrase.

Notes: it is a grammatical form rather than a separate word, and its exact appearance can vary with the surrounding vowels due to harmony rules. See also Turkish grammar, possessive suffix, accusative case, vowel harmony.
