Kütlelerini

Kütlelerini is a Turkish word formed from the noun kütle (mass) and multiple suffixes. It denotes “their masses” and is used when the phrase functions as a definite direct object in a sentence. The form combines plural, possessive, and accusative marking, producing a noun phrase that refers to the masses belonging to a third-person plural group.

In Turkish, nouns can carry several suffixes in a sequence to express number, possession, and case. The plural suffix -ler/-lar marks more than one mass, the possessive suffix -leri indicates ownership by “them,” and the accusative suffix -i marks the noun as a definite object. The exact ordering of these suffixes follows Turkish phonology and harmony rules, but kütlelerini is interpreted as “their masses” in the accusative.

Usage and context: kütlelerini can appear in scientific, mathematical, or descriptive writing, particularly when discussing the masses of multiple objects, specimens, or groups. It is most common in contexts where the masses are being measured, compared, or referenced as a set belonging to a group.

Example sentences:

- Bilim insanları kütlelerini ölçtüler. (The scientists measured their masses.)

- İki gezegenin kütlelerini karşılaştırdılar. (They compared the masses of the two planets.)

Kütlelerini is a grammatical form rather than a standalone concept, used to specify possession and case for a plural noun in Turkish.
