zehirin

Zehirin is a Turkish noun form meaning “the poison’s” or “of the poison.” It is formed from the base noun zehir (poison) plus the genitive/possessive suffix -in, which Turkish uses to express possession or association without a separate preposition. As a result, phrases like zehirin etkisi or zehirin içeriği translate to “the effect of the poison” and “the contents of the poison” in English. Turkish relies on suffixal possessives rather than articles, so context determines the exact sense.

Etymology and usage notes suggest that zehir is a native Turkish word with historical influences from the broader Turkic language sphere and, through contact in Ottoman times, neighboring Persian and Arabic lexical layers. The form zehirin follows regular Turkish possessive morphology, and its use is primarily linguistic rather than lexical—serving to link a noun to its owner, attribute, or related noun.

Common contexts for zehirin occur in scientific, medical, and literary discourse. Typical collocations include zehirin etkisi (the effect of the poison), zehirin içeriği (the content of the poison), and zehirin tadı (the taste of poison). In figurative usage, the term may appear in discussions about danger, toxicity, or morally poisonous influences, extending its meaning beyond mere chemical hazard.
