çekirdeini

Çekirdeini is the Turkish morphological construction that expresses “its kernel” or “the kernel of it.” It is formed from the noun çekirdek (kernel, core) with the third-person possessive suffix -i and the accusative suffix -ni, indicating a definite direct object in a sentence.

In standard Turkish, the form is written çekirdeğini. The variant çekirdeini exists in some older texts or informal writing but is not the recommended orthography in modern Turkish.

Morphology and usage: The base çekirdek receives the possessive suffix -i to form çekirdeği (its kernel), and the accusative suffix -ni is added to yield çekirdeğini, which marks it as the definite direct object. Turkish suffixes are attached in sequence and follow vowel harmony, so the vowels in the suffixes adapt to the stem. The overall structure makes this form a concrete reference to the kernel of a referenced noun.

Common contexts and examples: Çekirdeini is used when talking about the kernel of a concrete object or a metaphorical core, and functions as the object of a verb. Examples include: Elmanın çekirdeğini çıkarmak için bıçak kullandı. Ürünün çekirdeğini incelemek için laboratuvara gönderdiler. These illustrate its role as a direct object in sentences about fruits or products.
