birimlerinde

Birimlerinde is a Turkish noun phrase meaning in their units or in their departments. It is used to refer to locations within multiple organizational units that belong to a plural subject, such as a company or institution, or to a set of measurement units in context.

Morphology and form: biriminden derives from birim (unit, department). The form birimlerinde is created by attaching a sequence of Turkish suffixes that signal plurality, possession by a third person plural, and location. The result is a single word that conveys both ownership and place: in their units or departments. The exact suffix order follows Turkish suffix harmony rules, and the final form shows vowel adjustments that map to the surrounding phonology. In practice, birimlerinde often functions as a locative phrase indicating where something is located within the possessive domain of a plural subject.

Usage and nuances: birimlerinde emphasizes the location inside the units that belong to them, rather than merely “in the units” without explicit ownership. It can refer to organizational units within a company, government agencies, or any set of labeled units, and it can also appear in contexts comparing conditions across different units or reporting actions taken within those units. When the possessor is not specified, the phrase can rely on context; when the possessor is specified, other forms such as birimlerindeki or birimlerinde may be used to stress different aspects of ownership or location.

Examples:

- Şirketin birimlerinde yapılan denetimler güvenlik standartlarının uygunluğunu gösterdi.

- Birimlerinde görev yapan çalışanlar acil durum tatbikatını tamamladı.

- Raporlar, birimlerinde karşılaşılan zorlukları ortaya koyuyor.
