listesinde

Listesinde is a Turkish grammatical form built from the noun liste (list) with a third-person possessive suffix and a locative suffix. It results from the sequence liste + si (its/its) + nde (in/at/on), producing the surface form listesinde. The meaning is roughly “in its list” or “on its list.” This construction is used to indicate the location of something within a list that belongs to someone or something else, rather than a list in general.

Morphology and usage

In Turkish, possessed nouns can take a locative suffix to express location. When the possessed noun is liste, adding the third-person possessive suffix -si gives listesi, and adding the locative suffix -nde yields listesinde. The form functions as a noun phrase or as part of a predicate, specifying that an item or element is located inside the other entity’s list. The owner is usually understood from context, since Turkish relies on suffixes rather than separate possessive pronouns in many constructions.

Examples

Bu madde listesinde değildir. (This item is not on its list.)

Bu ürün, güvenlik protokollerinin listesinde yer alır. (This product is on the list of security protocols.)

Notes

Listesinde primarily expresses a locational relationship tied to a third-person possessor. For other possessive persons or more complex noun phrases, Turkish uses analogous inflection patterns with the appropriate possessive suffix before the locative suffix.
