Modülün

Modül and its genitive form modülün are Turkish terms derived from the English word module. Modülün is the genitive singular form of modül, used to indicate possession or a close relationship, translating roughly to “the module’s” or “of the module.” The genitive suffix -ün is chosen according to Turkish vowel harmony, as modül ends with the front rounded vowel ü.

In usage, modülün appears in noun phrases that describe features, functions, or characteristics of a module. Examples include modülün işlevi (the function of the module), modülün tasarımı (the design of the module), modülün içeriği (the contents of the module), and modülün arayüzü (the module’s interface). The form often appears in technical, engineering, and educational texts where modular components are discussed, such as hardware modules or software modules.

The word modül itself is a loanword in Turkish and is used across disciplines to denote a self-contained unit within a larger system. In addition to modülün, other related forms include modüllerin (genitive plural: of the modules) and modülü (the module as a direct object, accusative). The same root can appear in contexts beyond software and hardware, including mathematics or physics, where modül can mean modulus or absolute value, with corresponding possessive forms such as modülün değeri (the value of the modulus).

Note that modülün is not interchangeable with modülü; the latter is the accusative form meaning “the module” as a direct object, whereas modülün marks possession or a close association.
