çerçevesini

çerçevesini is a Turkish grammatical form rather than a standalone lexical item. It represents the direct object (the accusative case) of the noun phrase whose base is çerçeve, meaning frame. The form is built by attaching the third-person possessive suffix -si to çerçeve, yielding çerçevesi (its frame, or the frame of it), and then adding the accusative suffix -ni to that possessed form, producing çerçevesini. In Turkish, the order of suffixes typically follows stem + possessive + case, and the vowels in the suffixes harmonize with the stem.

Usage notes:

- Çerçevesini functions as the object of a verb. The possessive suffix marks ownership, while the accusative suffix marks it as the definite object.

- Because Turkish lacks a definite article, this construction still marks definiteness through the suffix chain rather than a separate article.

Examples:

- Fotoğrafın çerçevesini değiştirdim. (I changed its frame of the photograph.)

- Tabloya zarar vermeden önce tablo-nun çerçevesini kontrol ettim. (I checked the painting’s frame before altering it.)

- Tablonun çerçevesini kırdılar. (They broke the frame of the painting.) In this sentence, the possessor is the painting, and çerçevesini marks that its frame is the object being affected.

Related forms:

- çerçeve: the base noun, frame.

- çerçevesi: its frame (nominative/possessive form without the object marker).

- çerçeveyi/çerçeveni: frame as a direct object in other contexts with different possessives.

Çerçevesini thus illustrates Turkish suffixal morphology, where possession and case are encoded directly on the noun within a single word.
