kimsenin

Kimsenin is a Turkish word that functions as the genitive form of kimse, meaning nobody's or no one's. It is used to indicate possession or association by nobody, and it often appears in negative statements or possessive phrases.

Morphology and usage: Kimsenin is formed by adding the genitive suffix to kimse. Turkish uses vowel harmony, so the suffix takes appropriate form, resulting in kimsenin. The word is common in both spoken and written Turkish and is typically used to refer to things that belong to no one or to talk about no one’s rights, fault, or responsibility.

Examples:

- Bu kitap kimsenin değildir. (This book is not anyone’s.)

- Bu araba kimsenin değildir. (This car is not anyone’s.)

- Kimsenin hatası değildir. (It is not anyone’s fault.)

- Kimsenin sabrını zorlama. (Do not test anyone’s patience.)

Notes: Kimsenin is often contrasted with kimse (nobody) and with hiç kimse (nobody, not any one person). It appears in a wide range of contexts, including possession, obligation, and negation, and it can modify nouns or appear in compound phrases to express “nobody’s …” or “no one’s …”.
