randevun

Randevun is a Turkish term that functions as the second-person singular possessive form of randevu, meaning “your appointment.” The root randevu comes from the French rendez-vous and has been integrated into Turkish with the same sense of a scheduled meeting or engagement.

In Turkish, possession is indicated by suffixes attached to the noun. For the second person singular (informal you), the suffix appears as -un (subject to vowel harmony). When appended to randevu, this yields randevun, used to indicate that the listener’s appointment belongs to them, in casual speech. The same concept can also be expressed with other possessive forms, such as randevunuz for the second person plural or formal address (“your appointment”).

Usage examples include:

- Randevun ne zaman? (When is your appointment?)

- Randevun bugün saat kaçta? (What time is your appointment today?)

Beyond its core meaning of ownership, randevun can function as a pronoun-like phrase in questions or statements about someone’s scheduled meeting. The term is commonly used in everyday Turkish, particularly in conversations about schedules, medical visits, or professional appointments.

Etymology and related terms: randevu is borrowed from French rendez-vous. Related Turkish terms include randevu almak (to schedule an appointment) and randevuluk (the quality or status of having an appointment).
