Listesi

Listesi is a Turkish noun form derived from liste (list) plus the third-person possessive suffix -si, meaning essentially “its list” or “the list of X.” In ordinary usage, listesi functions as a possessive construction that ties a specific list to something previously mentioned or known from context. The word is common in both formal and everyday Turkish when referring to a particular list associated with an entity, such as a department, project, or organization.

Morphology and usage notes: The base noun liste becomes listesi when the speaker intends to indicate ownership or association with a ne named referent. Turkish also forms plurals as listeler and uses other possessive forms depending on the possessor. In practice, listesi often appears as part of a larger noun phrase that identifies what the list belongs to, for example: elektronik bölümünün ürün listesi (the electronics department’s product list) or okulun kayıt listesi (the school’s enrollment list). The standalone use of listesi is typically anchored by prior discourse that identifies the owner or source of the list.

Examples:

- Elektronik bölümünün ürün listesi güncellendi. (The electronics department’s product list has been updated.)

- Okulun kayıt listesi bugün yayımlandı. (The school’s enrollment list was published today.)

- Toplantı için gerekli isimlerin listesi hazırlandı. (The list of names required for the meeting was prepared.)
