sahnesi

Sahnesi is a Turkish word formed from sahne (stage, scene) plus the third-person possessive suffix -si. It means “its stage” or “the stage of it” and is used to indicate ownership of a stage or setting by a previously mentioned entity, such as a play, film, or theater.

The word sahne itself is a Turkish loanword from French scène, unified in Turkish spelling and pronunciation. The possessive suffix -si attaches to the stem with regular Turkish vowel harmony, producing sahnesi. As a possessive form, it appears in noun phrases that attribute a stage to an antecedent noun, for example, oyunun sahnesi (the play’s stage) or filmin sahnesi (the film’s stage/scene).

Usage examples include: “Oyunun sahnesi büyük bir tiyatroda kuruldu.” and “Filmin sahnesi, karakterler arasındaki çatışmayı vurgular.” These expressions demonstrate how sahnesi functions within a larger noun phrase to specify the setting belonging to a work or entity.

Related forms include sahnemiz (our stage), sahneniz (your stage), and sahnesinin/oyunun sahnesi gibi structures that show different possessive persons or cases. The base noun sahne is used for general senses of a stage or scene, while sahnesi provides a way to refer to the stage belonging to something specific in context.
