nedenlerinin

Nedenlerinin is a Turkish linguistic form built from the noun neden (reason) and is used to express possession or association with a plural third-person subject. In ordinary Turkish, nedenler means reasons, and nedenlerinin can be read as “of their reasons” or “their reasons’,” depending on the syntactic role in a sentence. The form commonly appears in formal or analytical contexts when discussing the causes, motivations, or explanations attributed to a group or set of agents.

Morphology and usage

The base meaning comes from neden (reason). When referring to multiple reasons for a group, Turkish adds the plural marker -ler to form nedenler (reasons). The suffixes -i (defining a definite object) and -in/-in (genitive/possessive) can combine in ways that yield nedenlerinin, a form used to indicate possession by a plural subject (their reasons) or to mark the genitive relationship in a phrase such as “the explanations of their reasons.” The exact interpretation depends on word order and surrounding particles.

Examples

- Nedenlerinin açıklanması gerekiyor. (The explanation of their reasons is necessary.)

- Onların nedenlerinin ayrıntılı analizi yapıldı. (A detailed analysis of their reasons was conducted.)

- Bu kararın nedenlerinin anlaşılması önemlidir. (Understanding the reasons behind this decision is important.)

Context

Nedenlerinin are most likely to appear in academic, journalistic, or formal discourses where it is useful to refer to the motivations or causes attributed to a group, organization, or collective actor. It is less common in everyday speech, where simpler forms like nedenler or onların nedenleri are often used.
