Ücretin

Ücretin is the genitive form of ücret, a Turkish noun meaning fee, wage, salary, charge or price. The base word ücret is used for both compensation paid to workers and charges or prices for services and goods. In Turkish, ücret can refer to a worker’s earnings as well as to the price demanded for a service, making it a versatile term in labor law, contract language, and everyday commerce.

Grammatically, the suffix -in marks possession or a "of" relationship, so ücretin translates roughly as "the fee’s" or "of the fee." It is commonly seen in noun phrases that describe another element related to payment, such as ücretin miktarı (the amount of the wage), ücretin ödenmesi (the payment of the fee), or ücretin belirlenmesi (the determination of the wage). The plural form ücretler means "fees" or "wages," depending on context.

In usage, ücret appears in various domains. In employment and labor law, it denotes compensation and related concepts, including terms like asgari ücret (minimum wage), ücret kesintisi (wage deduction), and ücretli çalışan (paid employee). In service and consumer contexts, ücret may refer to the charge or fee for a service, such as the ücretı of a repair or consultation.

Etymology traces to Turkish roots with long-standing use in both Ottoman and modern Turkish. The form ücretin is primarily a grammatical variant used to connect the noun to other elements within a phrase, maintaining a neutral, formal tone appropriate for legal, economic, and administrative writing.
