karakterinin

Karakterinin is a Turkish linguistic form that functions as the genitive or possessive form of the noun karakter, meaning “the character” in English. It is used to indicate possession or association, translating roughly to “the character’s” or “of the character” in a noun phrase.

In Turkish, possession is expressed by attaching suffixes to the possessed noun. The form karakterinin appears when the following noun is something that belongs to or is attributed to the character. This construction is common in literature, film analysis, and discussions of narration, where one describes the character’s traits, actions, or background. The base word karakter itself is a loanword from Latin via French, and Turkish adds its own set of possessive and case suffixes to create phrases such as karakterinin adı (the character’s name) or karakterinin özellikleri (the character’s traits).

Examples of usage include phrases like karakterinin adı nedir? (What is the character’s name?), karakterinin motivasyonu karmaşık. (The character’s motivation is complex.), and bu bölüm karakterinin geçmişine odaklanıyor. (This section focuses on the character’s past.)

Related terms involve other possessive forms derived from karakter, such as karakterin and karakterinin, which appear in different syntactic contexts depending on the following noun and the intended nuance of possession.
