kümesini

Kümesini is a Turkish inflected form built from the noun kümes, meaning henhouse or coop. The form demonstrates how Turkish combines suffixes to express possession and case. The third-person possessive suffix -si attaches to kümes to yield kümesi, indicating “its/ his/ her coop.” When the definite or accusative suffix -i is added after the possessive, the word becomes kümesini, indicating the coop as the direct object in a sentence.

Morphology and usage: Turkish is an agglutinative language, meaning meaning is conveyed through successive suffixes rather than separate words. In kümesini, the sequence is root (kümes) + possessive suffix (-si) + accusative/definite suffix (-i). The resulting form marks both ownership and grammatical role, allowing a speaker to say who owns the coop and that the coop is the object of the verb, all in one word. The exact translation depends on context, but common renderings include “its coop” or “the coop belonging to it” in the object position.

Etymology: kümesi derives from kümes (henhouse) with the Turkish possessive suffix -si, and the accusative/definite suffix -i appended, producing kümesini. The pronunciation adheres to Turkish vowel harmony and consonant rules.

Notes: This illustrates Turkish morphology, where multiple suffixes attach in a fixed order to convey complex information succinctly. The specific interpretation of kümesini depends on surrounding words and punctuation, as with other Turkish inflected forms.
