sürümü

Sürümü is a Turkish noun phrase meaning “my herd” or “the herd belonging to me.” It is formed from sürü, which means “herd” or “flock,” combined with the first-person singular possessive suffix. In Turkish, possessive suffixes attach to nouns and follow vowel harmony, so the form sürümü appears as the possessive expression for a speaker’s herd.

Etymology and form: The base noun sürü conveys the idea of a group of domesticated animals, and the suffix that marks ownership by the speaker attaches to the noun to produce a phrase indicating possession. The resulting form, sürümü, is used to refer to the herd that is owned or controlled by the speaker. The term is primarily found in Turkish and is most common in pastoral or rural contexts.

Usage and nuance: Sürümü is used to designate ownership of an animal herd, typically in speech or writing that involves livestock, farming, or rural life. It can appear in narratives to indicate a speaker’s herd or in discussions of animal management. While sürü is the general term for a herd, sürümü specifically foregrounds ownership by the speaker.

Related terms: The core word is sürü (herd). Related concepts include possessive forms in Turkish and other ownership expressions, as well as related animal-group terms. In broader literature, the word may appear in discussions of pastoral practices, livestock management, and rural culture.

Note: Turkish possessive constructions are productive and vary with person and number; sürümü represents the first-person singular possessive form applied to the noun sürü.
