Testlari

Testlari is a Turkish word formed from the loanword test with the Turkish plural suffix -ler and, in its possessive form, the suffix -i (creating -leri). In Turkish, the possessive suffix -leri can attach to the plural to indicate ownership by a third person plural, so testleri typically means their tests or the tests belonging to them. Turkish does not use a definite article, so the exact meaning of testleri versus testler depends on context.

Morphology and forms are straightforward: testler is the plural form meaning “tests.” Testleri adds the possessive sense “their tests” or “the tests of them.” Other related forms include testlerimiz (our tests) and testleriniz (your tests). Because Turkish uses vowel harmony, the primary stems testler and the possessive suffix -i combine with the plural to yield -leri, producing testleri. Spelling may appear without diacritics in some texts as testlari, but the standard Turkish form is testleri.

Usage and scope: the term occurs across domains where tests are discussed, such as education, software testing, medicine, and quality assurance. It can refer to examinations, assessments, or any set of evaluations. In written Turkish, phrases like test sonuçları (test results) and testlerin güvenilirliği (the reliability of the tests) are common; testleri or the related forms appear when indicating ownership or association with a subject.
