Virüsünün

Virüsünün is a Turkish grammatical form meaning “its virus” or “the virus’s.” It is created by attaching the third-person singular possessive suffix -ünün to the noun virüs (virus). The resulting noun phrase denotes possession by a third party or by an unspecified possessor and is used within larger sentences to indicate whose virus is being referred to. The suffix varies with vowel harmony, and in this case surfaces as -ünün to fit the word virüs.

Etymology and structure: virüs is a loanword from French virus. The Turkish possessive system allows nouns to bear suffixes that indicate the owner. For third-person singular possession, the suffix is -in, -ın, -un, or -ün, depending on the noun’s vowels; for virüs the form contracts to -ünün, producing virüsünün. This suffix directly follows the possessed noun and precedes any additional modifiers, case endings, or determiners as required by Turkish syntax.

Usage: Virüsünün appears in contexts where a speaker refers to the virus of a particular entity or object without naming the possessor explicitly. Examples include phrases like virüsünün etkisi (the effect of its virus) or virüsünün taşıyıcısı (the carrier of its virus). Turkish does not use a separate possessive pronoun in this construction; the possessed noun carries the possessive ending, and the overall meaning is derived from context.
