hedeflenmesini

Hedeflenmesini is a Turkish noun form meaning “the targeting” or “the act of being targeted.” It is derived from the verb hedeflenmek (to be targeted) or, in some contexts, hedeflemek (to target) with the nominalizing suffix -mesini, which turns a verb clause into a noun phrase representing the action or state described by the verb.

Grammatically, hedeflenmesini functions as a noun phrase that can serve as the object of another verb or appear in various constructions where a noun referring to an action is needed. The -mesini suffix expresses a nounization of the verb clause, roughly translating to “the act of …” or “the fact that …,” depending on context.

Usage of hedeflenmesini appears mainly in security, policy, legal, and media discourse, often in discussions about risk, protection measures, or rights. It commonly collocates with verbs such as engellemek (to prevent), azaltmak (to reduce), or önlemek (to avert) to describe actions taken to address being targeted or to discuss the risk of targeting. For example: “Hedeflenmesini engellemek için güvenlik önlemleri alındı” translates to “Measures were taken to prevent being targeted.” Another example is “Hedeflenmesini azaltmaya yönelik politikalar gündemde,” meaning “Policies aimed at reducing targeting are on the agenda.”

Related terms include hedef (target), hedeflemek (to target), and hedeflenmek (to be targeted). The form is a typical Turkish nominalized clause used to discuss risks, protections, and strategic considerations related to being targeted in political, security, or social contexts.
