kahvesidir

Kahvesidir is a Turkish nominal predicate form derived from kahve (coffee) with possessive and copular morphemes. In practical terms, kahvesidir can be analyzed as kahve + si (third-person possessive suffix: its/its) + dir (the copula "is"). The result conveys a predicative statement meaning roughly “is its coffee” or, in broader contexts, serves to illustrate how Turkish marks possession within a predication. It is not a common standalone dictionary entry; rather, it appears in linguistic descriptions and examples showing Turkish morphology and the use of the copula.
