serçesi

Serçesi is a Turkish grammatical form derived from serçe, the word for sparrow. It represents the third-person singular possessive form, created by adding the possessive suffix -si to serçe and applying vowel harmony, yielding serçesi. The expression translates roughly as "his/her/its sparrow" or "the sparrow's." In Turkish, possessive constructions attach to the possessed noun, while the possessor is expressed separately or through suffixes. Consequently, serçesi is typically found in noun phrases where a sparrow is owned or attributed to someone or something, such as onun serçesi ("his/her sparrow"). The form illustrates how Turkish marks possession on common nouns and demonstrates how a simple noun can function within a larger possessive phrase. The root serçe forms plurals serçeler and participates in related derivations such as serçesinin ("of his/her sparrow"). The term itself is not a widely used lexical item beyond its grammatical function and is not associated with a specific proper noun or concept.
