Standartlarnda

Standartlarında is a Turkish grammatical form that arises from the plural noun standartlar (standards) combined with the third-person possessive suffix and the locative suffix. It roughly means “in its standards” or “in their standards,” depending on context. The standard, fully decomposed forms are standard Turkish spellings such as stok? No, more precisely: standartlarda (in standards) for non-possessive use, and standartlarında (in its/their standards) when the standards are attributed to a subject.

Morphology and usage

In Turkish, the noun stem standard is standart. Adding the plural suffix -lar yields standartlar (standards). A third-person possessive suffix (indicating its or their) attaches as -ı, -i, -u, or -ü, producing standartları. The locative suffix -da/-de (often surface as -nda/-nde after possessives) specifies location, giving forms like standartlarda or standartlarında. The exact surface form depends on vowel harmony and the presence of the possessive. The form without the possessive, standartlarda, means “in standards” in a general sense, while standartlarında conveys “in its standards” or “in their standards.”

Context and examples

Standartlarında is common in regulatory, business, and technical language when discussing how procedures or practices align with a set of standards. Examples:

- ISO 9001 standartlarında kalite yönetim sistemi uygulanır. (In the ISO 9001 standards, a quality management system is applied.)

- Şirketin standartlarında yapılan güncellemeler çalışanlara bildirilmelidir. (Updates made in the company’s standards should be communicated to employees.)

- Standartlarda değişiklik yapıldığında uyum süreci başlatılır. (When standards change, the compliance process begins.)
