kanallarina

Kanallarina (kanallarına) is a Turkish phrase that functions as a directional form meaning “to their channels.” It is not a standalone noun but a combination of the noun kanal (channel) with Turkish plural and possessive suffixes, followed by the dative suffix. In standard Turkish orthography the form appears as kanallarına, reflecting vowel harmony and consonant adjustments typical of the language.

Etymology and morphology

The base kanal becomes kanallar in the plural. Adding the possessive suffix for “their” yields kanalları, and the dative suffix -a/-e then attaches to indicate movement toward or direction to that set of channels, producing kanallarına. The final spelling kanallarına uses the dotless i and other vowel harmony rules that govern suffix choices in Turkish.

Usage

Kanallarına is used when a verb or preposition requires a reference to “to their channels.” It often appears in contexts involving media platforms, broadcasting channels, or any set of channels owned or managed by a plural subject. Example: Şirket, kanallarına yeni içerikler yayımladı. (The company published new content to their channels.)

Distinctions

Kanallarına contrasts with kanalları (their channels as a direct object) and kanalların (their channels’/of their channels in genitive). Turkish suffixes determine both possession and direction, so kanallara, kanalları, kanallarına etc., convey different grammatical relations despite sharing the same root kanalı/kanal.
