hedeflerini

Hedeflerini is a Turkish noun phrase formed from hedef (goal) with the plural suffix -ler and the accusative definite suffix -i, used as a definite direct object in a sentence. The precise possessor is determined by surrounding context or by adding a possessive pronoun (for example senin hedeflerini, onun hedeflerini).

Usage in Turkish generally centers on referring to targets or goals that belong to someone and that are acted upon in the sentence. It commonly appears with verbs such as belirlemek (to define/set), gerçekleştirmek (to realize/achieve), or takip etmek (to pursue). For example: Kişi hedeflerini belirler. O, hedeflerini gerçekleştirmek için çalışıyor. These sentences illustrate how the form functions as the object of the verb, indicating whose goals are being discussed.

Morphology and interpretation: hedef means “goal” and hedefler is the plural “targets.” The form hedefleri (with the accusative -i) marks the definite direct object, and the possessive relation is supplied by the surrounding context or additional pronouns, allowing phrases that translate as “your goals,” “his goals,” or “their goals” depending on who is being referred to.
