tehlikesini

Tehlikesini is a Turkish grammatical form meaning “its danger.” It is created from tehlike (danger) with the third-person possessive suffix -si to form tehlikesi (its danger), and then the definite direct object suffix -ni, yielding tehlikesini. The construction marks a definite direct object that belongs to a previously mentioned subject.

In use, tehlikesini functions as the direct object of a verb and refers to the danger associated with a specific entity. It is not a standalone noun, but a possessive-accusative form that typically appears after a noun in the genitive or possessive construction, such as projenin tehlikesini (the danger of the project) or sigaranın tehlikesini (the danger of smoking). It can be used in various contexts to discuss hazards, risks, or potential harm linked to a subject.

Example sentences:

- Projenin tehlikesini değerlendirmek için bağımsız bir komisyon kuruldu. (An independent commission was formed to assess the project’s danger.)

- Yangının tehlikesini küçümsemek büyük zararlar doğurdu. (Underestimating the danger of the fire led to great harm.)

- Bu önlemler, öğrencilerin tehlikesini azaltmaya yöneliktir. (These measures are aimed at reducing the danger to students.)

Related forms include tehlike (danger) and tehlikesi (its danger in a non-accusative form). Tehlikesini is a common, neutral grammatical tool in Turkish for detailing the danger associated with a known subject, especially in technical, safety, or risk-related writing.
