enstitüsünün

Enstitüsünün is a Turkish inflected form derived from enstitü, meaning institute. It expresses possession and corresponds roughly to the English "the institute's" or "of the institute." In Turkish, possessive and genitive relations are built by attaching suffixes directly to the noun, without separate prepositions or articles. The form enstitüsünün arises from combining the genitive suffix with the third-person possessive suffix, producing a sequence that signals that something belongs to or is associated with the institute.

This form is typically used to modify another noun in formal or written Turkish. Examples include enstitüsünün politikası (the institute's policy), enstitüsünün raporu (the institute's report), and enstitüsünün yöneticileri (the institute's managers). The possessed noun that follows or accompanies enstitüsünün remains in the normal case form, while the enstitüsünün part carries the possessive/genitive information.

Usage notes: enstitüsünün appears in formal prose, academic writing, and official documents to attribute ownership or affiliation to an institute. Turkish lacks a separate possessive article; instead, suffixes convey possession, and word order within noun phrases remains flexible, with enstitüsünün functioning as the determiner-like element in the possessed noun phrase.

Etymology and related forms: enstitü is a loanword from Western European languages (such as institut or institut), and enstitüsünün inherits Turkish affixation patterns. Related forms include enstitü (the base noun), enstitünün (the institute's, in a different suffix context), and other possessive/genitive constructions that pair with different possessors and nouns.
