elbisesi

Elbise is a Turkish noun meaning a dress, gown, or outfit. The term is commonly used to refer to a one-piece garment worn as a garment, traditionally associated with women's clothing but also used in broader contexts to denote formal or stylish attire. The form elbisesi is the third-person singular possessive, meaning his/her/its dress, as in onun elbisesi (her dress) or onun elbisesiyle (with her dress).

In practical use, elbise appears in ordinary sentences to describe garments and clothing choices. Examples include Onun elbisesi çok zarif (Her dress is very elegant) or Elbisenin rengi kırmızı (The color of the dress is red). The phrase elbisenin rengi illustrates the genitive construction used to discuss a feature of the dress.

Elbise is part of everyday Turkish vocabulary for clothing. Related terms include giysi, kıyafet, and giyim, which are more general or refer to clothing as a category rather than a specific garment. While elbise often connotes a dress in a traditional or formal sense, contemporary usage can cover a range of women’s dress styles and formal outfits.

See also: kıyafet, giysi, giyim. Note that, as with many Turkish nouns, possessive and genitive forms attach to elbise to indicate ownership or relationships between dress and other nouns. In context, elbise remains a common and practical term for describing dresses and related attire in Turkish.
