belirtilerinin

Belirtilerinin is a Turkish inflected form of the noun belirti (symptom). It is not a separate lexical item with its own meaning; rather, it is a grammatical construction used to express possession or association with a group of symptoms. In Turkish, the base word belirti can be pluralized as belirtiler (the symptoms). The genitive form -in marks “of,” and when combined with the plural form and a third-person possessive context, it yields belirlilerinin-like formations such as belirtilerinin, meaning “its symptoms” or “the symptoms of X,” depending on the surrounding noun.

Usage and examples:

- Hastanın belirtilerinin başlaması birkaç gün sürdü. Translation: The onset of the patient’s symptoms lasted a few days.

- Gripte belirtilerinin başlıcaları ateş, öksürük ve boğaz ağrısıdır. Translation: The main symptoms of influenza are fever, cough, and sore throat.

- Belirtilerinin süresi uzarsa tedavi yaklaşımları değişebilir. Translation: If the duration of the symptoms lengthens, the treatment approaches may change.

Notes:

- Belirtilerinin is a morphological form, not a standalone concept. It appears in medical, clinical, or descriptive Turkish to refer to the symptoms belonging to or associated with a subject, such as a patient or a disease.

- It often appears in phrases where another noun (e.g., hastanın, hastalığın) provides the possessor, clarifying whose symptoms are being discussed.
