Yüzlerini

Yüzlerini is a Turkish noun phrase meaning “their faces” or “the faces of them.” It is formed from the noun yüz (face) with a plural suffix and a third-person plural possessive suffix, followed by the accusative suffix to mark it as a direct object in a sentence. In practice, yüzlerini translates as “their faces” when used as the object of a verb.

Usage examples illustrate its function as an object. For instance: Onların yüzlerini gördüm means “I saw their faces.” Yüzlerini beğendiniz mi? means “Did you like their faces?” These examples show how the phrase can serve as the direct object in Turkish sentences that discuss the faces belonging to a group.

Related forms relate to other ways of referring to faces. Yüzleri means “their faces” in a non-accusative sense, while yüzünüz means “your face” (singular, polite or informal depending on context). The root word yüz also appears in broader compounds and phrases, such as yüzler (faces) or yüzünüzde (on your face), illustrating Turkish’s agglutinative morphology, where multiple suffixes indicate number, possessive relation, and case.

Notes and context: Turkish often relies on suffixes to convey possession and grammatical case, so yüzlerini specifically marks the faces as the object of the action described by the verb. Additionally, yüz can also mean “hundred” in other contexts, but in yüzlerini the intended sense is “faces,” clarified by surrounding words and syntax.
