gösterdikleri

Gösterdikleri is a Turkish grammatical form used to introduce a relative clause that refers to the content of something shown or presented by someone. It is formed from the verb göstermek (to show, to present) in the past tense and combined with a relative suffix to create a phrase meaning "the things that they showed" or "what they showed." In usage, gösterdikleri typically precedes a noun, forming phrases such as gösterdikleri veriler (the data they presented) or gösterdikleri grafikler (the graphs they showed).

As a relative-clause construction, gösterdikleri conveys that the action of showing occurred prior to the main clause and focuses on what was shown. It is common in formal or written Turkish to specify the content delivered by a person or group, particularly in reports, presentations, or analyses.

Examples:

- Gösterdikleri veriler güvenilir. (The data they presented are reliable.)

- Gösterdikleri grafikler raporu destekledi. (The graphs they showed supported the report.)

- Gösterdikleri bilgiler doğru çıktı. (The information they presented turned out to be correct.)

Translation and nuance:

- The phrase can be rendered as "the things they showed" or "what they showed," depending on context.

- It functions as a modifier for a following or preceding noun, allowing speakers to specify the content of the showing without repeating the verb.
