bilincinde

Bilincinde is a Turkish expression meaning “in one’s consciousness” or “in one’s awareness.” It is formed from the noun bilinç (consciousness, awareness) plus possessive and locative suffixes, yielding bilinç+i + de → bilincind e, typically used with a possessive pronoun to indicate whose consciousness is being referred to (for example, onun bilincinde = in his/her consciousness).

In usage, bilincinde conveys that a fact, memory, idea, or mental state resides within someone’s awareness. It tends to appear in more formal, literary, or psychological contexts compared to everyday speech, where phrases like aklında or aklında tutmak are common. It can denote both current awareness and deeper, persistent cognitive presence of something (a belief, a memory, a concern).

Examples of usage in Turkish:

- Bu durum onun bilincinde değildir. (This situation is not in his/her awareness.)

- Gerçek, onun bilincinde olan bir gerçek olarak kabul edildi. (The truth was accepted as something in his/her consciousness.)

Semantically, bilincinde contrasts with phrases indicating external recognition or habit (such as “aklında” or “hâlâ hatırında”) by emphasizing inner cognitive presence. It is primarily a grammatical and stylistic option rather than a separate concept, and it appears most often in written Turkish, especially in discourse about psychology, philosophy, or introspective narrative.
