Sorunun

Sorunun is a Turkish term that can function as the genitive form of two nouns: soru (question) and sorun (problem). When capitalized as Sorunun, it may appear as a proper noun in titles or as a coined name in fiction, but it is not a widely established name in reference works. In common usage, Sorunun signals possession and is translated as “the question’s” or “the problem’s,” depending on which root word is intended.

In Turkish grammar, the genitive suffix -un is added to form possessives, with vowel harmony guiding its exact shape. Thus sorunun cevabı means “the answer to the question,” while sorunun çözümü means “the solution to the problem.” These constructions are standard in both everyday speech and formal writing, and they illustrate how Sorunun can function as a grammatical form rather than a standalone noun.

Usage of the form Sorunun appears in media and literature primarily as a concise or thematic device. In headlines or editorial titles, a capitalized Sorunun may be used to indicate a central issue under discussion, effectively labeling a topic rather than naming a person or place. Because Turkish frequently relies on context to resolve whether the root is soru or sorun, the standalone word Sorunun typically signals a possessive phrase rather than a distinct entity.
