görmeleri

Görmeleri is a Turkish noun phrase built from the verb görmek (to see). It literally conveys “their seeing” or, more broadly, “the things they see.” The form is created by the noun görme (seeing/vision) plus the third-person plural possessive suffix -leri, resulting in görmeleri. Because of its possessive ending, görmeleri denotes something associated with “them” (a plural third-person possessor) and can function as a subject or an object in a sentence, depending on context.

Morphology and meaning

- Base: görme (seeing, vision)

- Possessive suffix: -leri (their)

- Result: görmeleri meaning “their seeing” or “the things they see,” and it can appear in various syntactic roles within a clause.

- The word often appears in larger noun phrases or clauses, especially where the act of seeing or the objects of seeing are being discussed.

Usage

Görmeleri frequently occurs in constructions that describe what a group must see or what is to be seen by them. Examples (illustrative, natural Turkish):

- Görmeleri gerekenler bu listede. (The things they need to see are on this list.)

- Bu proje onların görmeleri için geliştirilmiştir. (This project was developed for them to see / for their seeing.)

- Görmeleriyle ilgili kararlar alındı. (Decisions were made concerning their viewing/seeing.)

Notes

- Görmeleri is a nominalized form tied to a plural possessor, so context is important to determine whether it refers to the act of seeing, the objects seen, or the group performing the seeing.

- It is distinct from görme alone (seeing/vision) and from other person-specific forms that do not carry the same possessive implication.
