yelpazesinin

Yelpazesinin is a Turkish genitive form derived from the noun yelpaze, meaning its spectrum or range. The form combines the third-person possessive suffix -si with the genitive suffix -in, resulting in -sinin. In practice, yelpazesinin translates roughly as “of its spectrum” or “of the range,” and it functions as part of a noun phrase rather than as an independent term.

The base sense of yelpaze includes both a literal meaning (a fan or fan-shaped object) and a figurative sense (a range or spectrum of something). In scientific, technical, or descriptive writing, yelpazesinin is used to attribute a spectrum or range to a subject, such as light, sound, or data. For example, bir ışık yelpazesinin genişlemesi refers to the widening of the light spectrum, and bir verinin yelpazesinin genişlemesi can describe the expanding range of values in a dataset. These constructions help specify the particular spectrum under discussion.

Usage notes: Turkish allows attaching multiple possessive and genitive suffixes to create complex noun phrases. Yel­paze can appear in various compounds (for instance, ışık yelpazesi for the color or light spectrum), and yelpazesinin is most common when one needs to express “the spectrum of X” or “the spectrum’s Y.” Context determines whether the sense is literal (physical spectrum) or metaphorical (range of possibilities, categories, or values).
