Yerlerini

Yerlerini is a Turkish word form meaning "their places" or "their locations." It is built from the noun yer, meaning "place" or "location." To form plurals Turkish uses -ler/-lar, yielding yerler ("places"). To indicate possession by a third-person plural subject, Turkish attaches the possessive suffix -leri, producing yerleri, which can function as "their places" in a sentence. Depending on syntactic position, the form may also appear with additional case endings (for example in the accusative), as in yerlerini, meaning "their places" with a definite direct object marker.

In usage, yerlerini refers to places or locations belonging to a group. It is commonly employed in contexts involving groups rather than individuals, such as teams, families, organizations, or communities. Typical constructions include yerlerini değiştirmek (to change their places), yerlerini göstermek (to show their locations), or yerlerini bulmak (to find their locations). In Turkish narrative and reporting, yerlerini can denote the places of people under discussion, the locations of events, or the geographic distribution of a group.

Related terms include yer (place), konum (location), yerleşke (settlement), and adres (address). The form is primarily a possessive plural construction rather than a standalone proper noun, and its precise meaning depends on context, pronoun reference, and case markings.
