refleksin

Refleksin is a Turkish grammatical form meaning “your reflex.” It is not a separate lexical item, but the second-person singular possessive construction attached to the noun refleks, which means reflex.

Etymology and morphology: Refleks is a borrowed Turkish noun from the English word reflex. The possessive suffix -in attaches to the noun to indicate ownership by the second person singular. Thus refleksin literally translates to “your reflex.” Turkish also forms other possessive compounds, such as refleksiniz for “your (plural or formal) reflex” and refleksinizin for “your (plural) reflex’s,” depending on the case and number.

Usage: Refleksin is used in sentences to refer to the reflex belonging to the person being spoken to. It commonly appears in medical, anatomical, or everyday contexts where a specific individual’s reflex is discussed. The form follows Turkish possessive and vowel-harmony rules and changes with number and respect level.

Examples:

- Refleksin hızlı mı? (Is your reflex fast?)

- Refleksin normal çalışıyor mu? (Is your reflex functioning normally?)

Related forms: Refleksiniz means “your (plural or formal) reflex.” For plural possessive, you may also encounter refleksleriniz, meaning “your reflexes.” The base noun refleks can also appear in plural as refleksler.
