Temsilindeki

Temsilindeki is a Turkish grammatical form made from the noun temsil (representation or delegation) combined with the locative suffix -de and the relative suffix -ki, yielding a definite relative noun phrase that roughly means the one in its representation or the items within its representation. The construction designates elements that belong to or are located within a particular representation, such as a legislative body, council, or organization’s delegation. It is a descriptive, formal phrasing commonly found in written Turkish, and it is not used to express “on behalf of” (which would be conveyed by temsil etmek or temsilci).

Usage notes and examples help illustrate its function. Example sentences in Turkish: Temsilindeki kararlar kamuoyunca eleştirildi. (The decisions within its representation were criticized by the public.) Temsilindeki komite toplantıya katıldı. (The committee within its representation attended the meeting.) In both cases, temsilindeki modifies a noun to point to items or persons that are part of a specific representation.

The form typically appears in formal or technical prose—political, administrative, legal, or academic—where discussions concern the components of a body’s representation (temsilindeki organlar, temsilindeki üyeler, temsilindeki kararlar). Grammatically, temsilindeki is built from the base noun temsil plus the locative -de and the relative -ki, making it part of the broader Turkish system of suffix chains used to form precise, definite noun phrases.

Related elements include the locative -de (in/at/on), the relative -ki (the one that/which), and the broader set of terms for representation such as temsilci (representative) and temsilcilik (representation/agency).
