gözlemi

Gözlemi is the Turkish noun formed from gözlem, meaning observation. It is the form used when the noun acts as a definite direct object in a sentence (the accusative), and can be translated as “the observation” in English.

It occurs in scientific writing, journalism, and everyday language to refer to a specific observation. Example phrases include gözlemi kaydetti (he recorded the observation) and gözlemin sonuçları (the results of the observation). The plural form gözlemler refers to multiple observations.

Morphology and usage: Gözlemi is not a separate root; it is a form of gözlem produced by adding the accusative suffix -i, with vowel harmony shaping the final form. The genitive form of the noun is gözlemin (of the observation). This pattern illustrates Turkish agglutinative morphology, where nouns take suffixes to express case, possession, and other grammatical relations.
