sektörün

Sektörün is the genitive form of the Turkish noun sektor, meaning “of the sector” or “the sector’s.” It is used to indicate possession or association between nouns, linking a noun to another noun in a noun phrase.

In Turkish, the genitive suffix for the third person singular is -in/-ın/-ün/-ün, chosen by vowel harmony to fit the final vowel of the head noun. For sektor, whose final vowel is ö, the genitive suffix becomes -ün, producing sektorün. Thus sektörün can function as a determiner in phrases like “sektörün büyümesi” (the sector’s growth) or “sektörün politikaları” (the sector’s policies).

Usage examples illustrate its role in discourse about economics, industry, or organization-wide contexts. Examples include: “Sektörün büyümesi ekonomiyi etkiler.” (The sector’s growth affects the economy.) “Sektörün politikaları, yatırım kararlarını şekillendirir.” (The sector’s policies shape investment decisions.) “Sektörün rekabet gücü kaydedildi.” (The sector’s competitiveness was recorded.) In each case, sektörǘn denotes possession or association, and the following noun specifies what belongs to or relates to the sector.

Etymology: sektöR is a Turkish loanword adopted into Turkish from Western European languages, such as French secteur or English sector, and the genitive suffix -ün is a standard Turkish morpheme for third-person possession. See also sektor, Turkish grammar, Genitive case in Turkish.
