sürdürmesinin

Sürdürmesinin is a Turkish noun form derived from the verb sürdürmek, meaning to sustain or maintain. It denotes the act or process of keeping something up and is typically translated as "the maintenance" or "the continuation" of something. The form is produced through nominalization with the suffix -me (sürdürme), followed by the possessive suffix -si (sürdürmesi, “its maintaining”) and the genitive suffix -nin (sürüdürmesinin), which yields the meaning “of its maintaining” or, more broadly, “the maintenance of X.”

Morphology and usage

The base verb sürdürmek combines with -me to create the noun sürdürme (the act of maintaining/continuation). The noun can take possessive and genitive endings to specify what is being maintained and whose maintenance is being discussed. Thus, sürdürmesinin literally means “the maintenance of its/its maintaining,” and functions in Turkish much like a formal, abstract noun used in academic, administrative, or policy contexts.

Examples

- Projenin sürdürmesinin maliyeti yüksektir. (The cost of maintaining the project is high.)

- Sistemin sürdürmesinin güvenliği, sürdürülebilirlik açısından kritiktir. (The safety of maintaining the system is critical from a sustainability perspective.)

- Kamu politikalarının sürdürmesinin zorlukları tartışmalıdır. (The difficulties of maintaining public policies are under discussion.)
