sözüne

sözüne is a Turkish word that translates to "to his/her/its word" or "in his/her/its word" in English. It is a possessive form derived from the noun "söz," meaning "word," combined with the possessive suffix "-ü" (third person singular possessive) and the dative case suffix "-ne." This grammatical structure indicates that something pertains to or is related to someone's word or promise.

The phrase often implies adherence to a promise or a commitment. For example, "O, sözüne sadıktır" translates to "He/She is loyal to his/her word," meaning they keep their promises. It can also be used to indicate that something is said or done based on what someone has stated. For instance, "Onun sözüne göre hareket ettik" means "We acted according to his/her word." The usage of "sözüne" emphasizes the importance of spoken commitments and their fulfillment in Turkish culture. It is a common and integral part of everyday Turkish conversation, highlighting trust and reliability in interpersonal relationships.
