terimlerinin

Terimlerinin is a Turkish grammatical form built from terim (term). When terim is pluralized to terimler and then marked for possession by a third-person plural possessor, the result is terimlerinin. In Turkish, this form functions as the genitive plural of terimler, meaning “of their terms” or, in a broader sense, “their terms’.” It is used to indicate that something belongs to or is associated with a group of people or entities referred to in the sentence.

Morphology and use

Terimlerinin combines the plural form terimler with the genitive/possessive suffix that signals a third-person plural possessor. The phrase may appear in noun phrases such as terimlerinin anlamı (the meaning of their terms) or terimlerinin tanımları (the definitions of their terms). As with other Turkish suffix chains, the exact surface form may vary with harmony rules and adjacent suffixes, but terimlerinin represents the standard possessive/genitive construction for a plural possessor.

Context and relevance

The expression is common in academic, linguistic, or glossary-style writing where discussions involve multiple terms defined or used by a group. It highlights ownership or association by plural subjects rather than a single author or entity. Understanding terimlerinin also helps in parsing Turkish noun phrases that rely on genitive and possessive suffixes to convey relationships between terms and their authors, fields, or communities.
