gereksinimini

Gereksinimini is a Turkish morphologically complex form that appears in linguistic discussions as an example of suffix stacking on the noun gereksinim (need, requirement). It is not a standalone lexical item in standard Turkish; rather, it represents the combination of the base noun with possessive and accusative suffixes to convey the meaning "my need" when used as the direct object.

In Turkish, suffixes attach to nouns in a specific order. The base word gereksinim can take the first-person singular possessive suffix to express ownership and, when used as the direct object of a verb, an accusative suffix. The surface form gereksinimini illustrates this stacking: the -im suffix marks "my" and the -i marks the accusative case, resulting in a form that can function as the object of a verb in sentences like "Gereksinimini karşılamak için çalışıyorum" (I am working to meet my need). The exact spelling may vary depending on vowel harmony and morphophonemic adjustments, and other inflections (plural, different possessors) produce forms such as gereksinimlerimi or gereksinimimi.

The base lexeme gereksinim means "need" or "requirement." The discussed form is typically encountered in language-learning materials and linguistic analyses to illustrate how Turkish handles possession and case within a noun phrase. It is not a common everyday word, but serves as an illustrative example of Turkish morphology.
