eklerini

Eklerini is a Turkish term used in linguistics to refer to the suffixes of words when those suffixes themselves are the direct object of a sentence. The form eklerini typically appears in contexts where the speaker is talking about the suffixes rather than the root words.

Morphology and formation: In Turkish, ekler means suffixes. The possessive and accusative system of Turkish combines with plural and case endings to produce forms such as eklerini. In practical terms, eklerini is the definite direct object form of the noun ekler (suffixes) when the suffixes are what the verb acts upon, for example with verbs like incelemek (to examine) or analiz etmek (to analyze). Phrases such as onların eklerini or kelimelerin eklerini illustrate how the phrase is used to denote “their suffixes” or “the suffixes of the words” respectively.

Usage: Eklerini appears primarily in grammatical, linguistic, or education contexts rather than everyday speech. It is used to discuss the structure of words, how suffixes attach to bases, and how those suffixes function within word formation. For instance, a sentence like Kelimelerin eklerini inceleyelim means “Let us examine the suffixes of the words.” The construction demonstrates how Turkish morphology is analyzed, with eklerini serving as the object of the action.

Relation and context: The term sits within broader Turkish grammar and morphology topics, including affixes, suffix chains, and derivational processes. It helps describe and study how suffixes contribute to meaning, tense, possession, number, and case in Turkish words.
