sitelerinin

Sitelerinin is a Turkish noun phrase form that marks possession by a third-person plural subject. It comes from siteler, the plural of site, and adds the genitive/possessive suffix -lerinin to indicate “their sites” or “the sites of them.” In Turkish, possessive and plural information is expressed through suffixes on the possessed noun rather than through a separate possessive pronoun, so sitelerinin conveys both plurality and ownership in one unit.

Usage and meaning

Sitelerinin is used in phrases where the possessor is a group or plural subject. The most common translation is “their sites” or “the sites of them.” Context determines whether sitelerinin refers to physical locations (sites) or digital spaces (websites). Example meanings include sitelerinin güvenliği (the security of their sites) and sitelerinin tasarımı (the design of their sites).

Morphology notes

The form demonstrates Turkish possessive morphology: the possessed noun siteler carries a suffix that encodes both plurality and the third-person plural possessive. The exact vowel harmonization adjusts to the root, but sitelerinin consistently represents “their sites.” Turkish often uses such suffix chains to express ownership without separate pronouns.
