Yapbozun

Yapbozun is the Turkish genitive or possessive form of yapboz, meaning either “your puzzle” or “the puzzle’s” depending on context. Yapboz itself refers to a puzzle in general, with particular usage for jigsaw puzzles. The term is common in everyday Turkish to describe puzzle-related objects and activities.

The root yapboz is a loanword in Turkish, adopted from European languages where the concept of a puzzle is widespread. In Turkish usage, yapboz covers both simple picture puzzles and jigsaw-style puzzles, as well as discussions about puzzle pieces, gameplay, and construction.

In Turkish grammar, possession is shown by attaching possessive suffixes to the noun. For the second person singular, the suffix is in the form -un (subject to vowel harmony). When combined with yapboz, this yields yapbozun, which appears in sentences such as “Bu yapbozun parçaları nerede?” meaning “Where are the pieces of this puzzle?” Yapbozun can also participate in compounding phrases like “yapbozun yapımı” (the making of the puzzle) or “yapbozun kutusu” (the puzzle’s box).
