rezervasyonunu

Rezervasyonunu is a Turkish grammatical form built from the noun rezervasyon (reservation) with suffixes that indicate possession and case. It literally translates to “his/her/its reservation” and is used when the noun refers to a reservation belonging to someone else and is functioning as a direct object in a sentence.

Etymology and morphology: rezervasyon is a loanword from French réservations, adapted into Turkish as rezervasyon. The ending -u is the third-person singular possessive suffix, signaling that the reservation belongs to he, she, or it. Following the possessive, the accusative case suffix -u (with appropriate vowel harmony) is added to mark the word as a definite direct object. When these two suffixes combine, the result is rezervasyonunu, the form shown here. Turkish frequently blends multiple suffixes on a noun, and the order is typically root + possessive suffix + case suffix.

Usage and examples: Rezervasyonunu iptal ettim means “I canceled his/her reservation.” Rezervasyonunu yaptım can be understood as “I made his/her reservation.” In both cases the form rezervoasyonunu specifies the reservation that belongs to someone else and that is being acted upon by the verb. The pronoun onun (his/her/its) is often omitted because the possessive suffix already conveys the same information, though including onun can remove ambiguity: Onun rezervasyonunu iptal ettim.

Notes: This is a standard Turkish possessive-plus-accusative construction and illustrates how Turkish encodes ownership and grammatical role directly on the noun. The same pattern applies to other nouns by substituting different bases and possessors.
