türündeki

türündeki is a Turkish word that translates to "of its kind," "of its type," or "belonging to its category" in English. It is a possessive suffix attached to a noun to indicate that something is characteristic of or belongs to that specific kind or type. The suffix "-ündeki" is a variation of the possessive suffix "-deki" which itself is a combination of the locative suffix "-de" (meaning "in" or "at") and the demonstrative pronoun "ki" (meaning "that which is"). The vowel harmony rules of Turkish dictate whether "-deki" or "-ündeki" is used, depending on the preceding vowel.

For example, "kuş türündeki hayvanlar" would mean "animals of the bird kind" or "animals that are birds." Similarly, "insan türündeki gelişim" translates to "development of the human kind" or "development within the human species." The phrase helps to classify and categorize things based on their inherent nature or characteristics. It is commonly used in scientific, academic, and general discourse to denote classification and belonging. The use of "türündeki" emphasizes the inherent qualities that define a particular group or category.
