Televizyonun

Televizyonun is a Turkish noun phrase formed from televizyon, meaning television, plus the possessive suffix -un. In Turkish, the possessive suffixes attach to the possessed noun, so televizyonun literally conveys possession and can be translated as “your television” or, in a broader sense, as “the television’s.” The form is common in sentences referring to something belonging to or associated with a television.

Etymology: Televizyon is borrowed from the French télévision, itself from tele- (far) and vision (seeing). The Turkish adaptation followed typical patterns of vowel harmony and suffixation, arriving in Turkish in the 20th century as television technology and terminology spread.

Usage: Televizyonun is widely used in both spoken and written Turkish. Examples include:

- Televizyonun sesi çok yüksek. (The television’s/Your television’s sound is very loud.)

- Televizyonun açık mı? (Is your television on?)

- Televizyonun kumandası nerede? (Where is your television’s remote control?)

Notes: The exact meaning—“your television” versus “the television’s”—depends on context and accompanying pronouns or possessive suffixes. Turkish commonly uses these possessive forms to indicate ownership directly within the noun, without requiring a separate possessive pronoun.
