düzeyindeki

Düzeyindeki is a Turkish grammatical form formed from the noun düzey (level) plus the locative-relative suffix combination -deki. It conveys the idea of “the one that is at (that) level” or more broadly “at the level of,” and can function as a determiner that modifies a following noun or as a possessive attribute referring to the level itself. It is used to reference a thing or issue situated within a specific level in a hierarchy, concept, or development stage.

Usage: It typically precedes a noun as an adjective, as in düzeyindeki belirsizlik (the ambiguity at that level). More generally, it can denote position or significance within a framework such as organizational structures, educational levels, or abstraction levels. The construction appears in formal or academic Turkish and in everyday language when a specific level is being contrasted or specified.

Morphology: The form is built from the root düzey with the locative suffix -de and the relative determiner -ki, producing a compound often seen as düzeydeki or düzeyindeki depending on phonological context and the following noun. Both variations express roughly the same notion of “the one at the level,” with the exact spelling adapting to surrounding sounds and suffixes.

Examples:

- Düzeyindeki belirsizlik sürüyor. → The ambiguity at that level persists.

- Düzeyindeki farklılıklar, karar sürecini etkiledi. → The differences at the level were influential in the decision-making process.

- Eğitim düzeyindeki ilerleme, öğrenciyi motive eder. → Progress at the educational level motivates the student.
