materyallerinin

Materyallerinin is a Turkish term that functions as a genitive, plural possessive form of the noun materyaller (materials). It translates roughly to “their materials’” or “of their materials,” and it is used to indicate possession by a group rather than by an individual. The form reflects Turkish agglutinative suffixation, where noun endings signal number, case, and possession.

In Turkish, possession and quantity are expressed through a sequence of suffixes attached to the noun. Materyallerinin embodies both the plural marker and the possessive/genitive markings, signaling that the materials belong to a plural subject. The exact vowel harmony and suffix order determine pronunciation and compatibility with surrounding words, but the meaning remains clearly about ownership by a group.

Usage examples include:

- Bu çalışmada materyallerinin özellikleri değerlendirildi. (In this study, the properties of their materials were evaluated.)

- Materyallerinin dayanıklılığı, projenin başarısı için kritik öneme sahipti. (The durability of their materials was critical to the project's success.)

- Araştırmacılar, materyallerinin kalitesini karşılaştırdı ve sonuçları raporladı. (Researchers compared the quality of their materials and reported the results.)

Related concepts in Turkish grammar include the genitive case, plural suffixes (-ler/-lar), and the possessive suffixes that express ownership. Materyallerinin serves as a practical example of how Turkish combines number, possession, and reference to a group in a single word.
