döndürülmesini

Döndürülmesini is a Turkish noun phrase that refers to the act or process of being rotated or turned. It is derived from the verb döndürmek (to turn/rotate) and appears in its passive, nominalized form to denote the event of something being rotated. The expression is commonly used as the object of another verb, for example in sentences that describe requirements, expectations, or steps in a procedure.

Morphology and usage notes: döndürülmesini is formed from the passive stem döndürül- and the nominalizing/inflectional ending -mesi, with a definite object marker -i attaching in contexts where the act is specified as an object (parçanın döndürülmesini, “the rotation of the part”). The phrase can function as a noun clause within a larger sentence and is typical in technical, procedural, or formal Turkish. It emphasizes the process rather than a completed action, and its main role is to name the event of rotation rather than to describe who performs it.

Contexts and examples: In engineering or manufacturing texts, one might encounter: Parçanın döndürülmesini sağlamak için mekanizmayı ayarlayın. (Adjust the mechanism to ensure the part is rotated.) In reporting or planning: Döndürülmesini bekliyoruz. (We are waiting for it to be rotated.) In linguistics or grammar discussions, döndürülmesini may be cited as an example of a nominalized passive clause functioning as an object.

Related terms include döndürme (the act of turning/rotation in general) and döndürülmek (to be rotated, the passive infinitive). Döndürülmesini, as a word form, highlights the event of rotation within a sentence rather than the agent performing the action.
