belgesini

Belgesini is a Turkish noun phrase used to mean “his/her/its document” when the document is the direct object of a sentence. It is formed from belge (document) with the third-person possessive suffix -si, combined with the accusative suffix -ni. In Turkish morphology, the sequence is root + possessive suffix + case suffix; thus belgesini denotes a definite, possessed document functioning as the object.

Belgesini is employed when the owner is specified or inferable from context. Example sentences: “O, belgesini kaybetti,” meaning “He/She lost his/her document.” “Yetkililer belgesini ibraz etmesini istedi,” meaning “The authorities asked him/her to present his/her document.” To emphasize the owner, one may also say “kendi belgesini” for “one’s own document.” Possessors can be made explicit with other noun phrases, such as “Annemin belgesini gördüm” (“I saw my mother’s document”).

Notes on usage: belgesini does not by itself indicate who owns the document; the possessor is shown by the context or by a preceding possessive noun phrase (e.g., annemin belgesini, onun belgesini). The form is neutral and standard in everyday Turkish, suitable across registers. It is not a proper noun and does not have an independent meaning beyond its grammatical function as a possessed noun in the accusative case.
