genelindeki

Genelindeki is a Turkish grammatical form built from the adjective genel (general) combined with the locative suffix -de and the relative suffix -ki. The result is a post-nominal modifier that signals “the one in the general [section/context]” or “in the general sense.” It is used to refer to a thing or part that belongs to or appears within a broader, non-specific domain rather than to a single, concrete item.

In usage, genelindeki typically appears before a noun to set a broad or overarching reference within a text. It is common in formal or academic Turkish, such as in analyses, reports, and expository writing, where writers distinguish general aspects from specific details. Examples include phrases like raporun genelindeki sonuçlar (the findings in the general section of the report) or bütçenin genelindeki giderler (the expenses in the general part of the budget). The exact nuance depends on context, and other expressions such as genel olarak or genel kapsamda can convey similar broad meanings.

Morphologically, genelindeki exemplifies the Turkish pattern of combining a base word with the de-ki suffix to form “the X in/within Y.” This construction is parallel to other -deki forms like evdeki (the one in the house) and is widely understood in Turkish grammar as a way to anchor a noun to a broader or non-specific domain.
