rejimlerine

Rejimlerine is a Turkish inflected form built from the noun rejim (regime), combined with Turkish suffixes to express plurality, possession, and direction. Specifically, it joins the plural suffix -ler, the third-person plural possessive suffix -leri, and the dative case suffix -e to yield the meaning “to their regimes.” The form illustrates how Turkish stacks affixes to encode both ownership and grammatical function within a single word.

Morphology and syntax

In Turkish, the base noun rejim takes the plural -ler to become rejimler (regimes). The possessive suffix -leri marks “their,” producing rejimlere? combined forms like rejimlere for “to regimes” in a simpler sequence, but when the possessive -leri is included before the dative -e, the resulting word is rejimlerine. The order is root + plural + possessive + case. Vowel harmony and consonant harmony govern the exact phonetic shape, but the overall meaning remains “to their regimes.” This form functions as an indirect object or target of actions such as criticism, pressure, or relations with those regimes.

Usage

Rejimlerine appears in political or analytical prose to specify actions directed at regimes belonging to others. Examples include: “Ülkelerin rejimlerine yönelik eleştiriler arttı” (Criticisms directed at the regimes of these countries increased) and “Protestolar rejimlerine karşı genişledi” (Protests broadened against their regimes). It is a neutral, descriptive construction commonly found in academic, journalistic, and policy discussions.

Etymology and related forms
