betonun

Betonun is the genitive form of the Turkish noun beton, meaning concrete. It expresses a possessive or associative relationship, translating roughly to “of concrete” or “concrete’s” in English. In Turkish, genitive forms are created by adding a suffix that changes according to vowel harmony, linking to another noun or phrase.

The genitive suffix has four variants: -in, -ın, -ün, -un. The choice depends on the last vowel of the noun. For beton, which ends with a back vowel 'o', the genitive form is betonun. This yields phrases such as betonun dayanıklılığı (the durability of concrete) or betonun maliyeti (the cost of concrete).

Usage and scope: Betonun appears in construction, engineering, and technical Turkish to indicate attributes or ownership related to concrete. It can connect to adjectives, other nouns, or noun phrases to specify qualities, costs, production factors, or regulatory aspects tied to concrete. It is a grammatical form rather than a separate lexical entry.
