plastiklerinde

Plastiklerinde is a Turkish noun phrase that translates roughly as “in their plastics” or “inside their plastics.” It is formed from plastik (plastic) with the plural suffix -ler to form plastikler (plastics), and the locative suffix -de to mean “in.” When a possessive is included, as with onların (their), the full form becomes onların plastiklerinde, meaning “in their plastics.” The word is written as a single unit when the possessive pronoun precedes the noun phrase.

In Turkish grammar, plastiklerinde demonstrates agglutinative morphology and suffix harmony. The possessive prefix or determiner (onların) provides ownership, the plural suffix marks the noun as a set of items, and the locative suffix marks location. The combination yields a postposed phrase that functions as an adverbial or locative element within a sentence, indicating where the plastics belonging to a group are located or examined.

Usage tends to appear in contexts involving materials, packaging, environmental studies, or discussions of waste and recycling. Because Turkish relies on suffix chains to convey meaning, the exact form plastiklerinde can change with different possessors or cases (e.g., plastiklerinde, plastiklerinde, onların plastiklerindeki, etc.), but the core idea remains “in their plastics.”

Examples:

- Onların plastiklerinde mikroplastikler bulunuyor. (There are microplastics in their plastics.)

- Çevre raporu, onların plastiklerinde görülen kirliliği vurguluyor. (The environmental report highlights the pollution seen in their plastics.)
