seviyelerinin

Seviyelerinin is a Turkish inflected form derived from seviyeler (levels). It is formed by attaching suffixes that express possession to the plural noun seviyeler, yielding a phrase that is commonly translated as “of its levels” or “of their levels,” depending on the context. In Turkish, the exact possessor is indicated by surrounding words or pronouns, and the form itsef reflects a genitive-possessive combination rather than a standalone noun.

Morphology and usage

The word shows how Turkish stacks suffixes to convey meaning: the base seviyeler (levels) acquires a genitive meaning with the suffix -in (or its vowel-harmonized variants) and, in many contexts, a third-person possessive element is implied by the overall form. The resulting string seviyelerinin appears in clauses that discuss the levels belonging to someone or something, typically in formal or technical prose. It often appears in constructions such as “seviyelerinin düşmesi” (the levels’ decrease) or “seviyelerinin artması” (the levels’ increase), where the relation of possession is central to the statement.

Etymology

Seviye, meaning level, is borrowed from French niveau and has entered Turkish as seviyeler in its plural form. The possessive/genitive suffix chain that yields seviyelerinin is a standard Turkish morphological pattern used to relate a plural noun to a third-person possessor.
