ticaretin

Ticaretin is the Turkish genitive/possessive form of ticaret, the noun meaning commerce or trade. In Turkish, the suffix -in attaches to a noun to mark the second person singular possessive, producing forms such as ticaretin, which translates roughly to “your trade.” It can also function to express a genitive relationship, meaning “of trade” or “trade’s” in phrases where possession or association is stated.

The word ticaret itself comes from the Arabic tijārah, carried into Turkish through historical use in Ottoman Turkish. The form ticaretin preserves the root ticaret while adding the possessive/genitive suffix, enabling expressions that relate trade to other nouns or to actions and descriptions within a sentence.

Common uses include phrases like ticaretin gelişimi (the development of commerce), ticaretin kuralları (the rules of commerce), and ticaretin artması ekonomiyi etkiler (an increase in trade affects the economy). In such constructions, ticaretin functions as a possessive link between trade and another element, rather than as a standalone concept.

Ticaretin appears regularly in academic writing, economic analysis, policy discussions, and everyday Turkish, whenever writers need to attribute, qualify, or relate trade to other ideas or events. It is one of several Turkish possessive/genitive forms that help express ownership and relational meaning within noun phrases.
