gösterisi

Gösterisi is a Turkish noun formed from gösteri (show, demonstration, performance) with the third-person singular possessive suffix -si. The result is a possessive construction used to indicate that the show, display, or demonstration belongs to or is associated with a referent mentioned in the sentence. In Turkish grammar, such forms are common for creating noun phrases that express ownership or relation, often in sequences like X’nin gösterisi or X’nin gösterisi ve Y’nin gösterisi.

Meaning and usage

Göst erisi can refer to a public performance or display that is linked to a person, group, object, or event. The nuance depends on the context and the possessor named before the phrase, and it can denote the show in question as belonging to that referent or simply as the show of that context. The form is versatile in both formal writing and everyday speech, appearing in discussions of theater, exhibitions, festivals, product displays, or any situation where a show or display is attributed to someone or something.

Typical contexts

- The user’s show or display: kullanıcının gösterisi

- The product’s display: ürünün gösterisi

- An event’s performance: festivalin gösterisi
