ödülün

ödülün is the possessive form of the Turkish noun ödül, meaning prize or award. It marks a genitive or possessive relation, such as “the prize’s [something]” or “of the prize.” In Turkish, possessive suffixes attach directly to the noun; for ödül that suffix is -ün, giving ödülün. The exact possessor is usually specified by context or an accompanying possessive pronoun, for example senin ödülün (your prize) or ödülün sahibi (the owner of the prize).

The form is used in a wide range of phrases where a prize is involved. Examples include ödülün verildiği tören (the ceremony at which the prize is awarded), ödülün değeri (the value of the prize), and ödülün sahibi (the owner of the prize). The base noun ödül is central to discussions of competitions, awards, and recognition in Turkish. Related terms include ödül töreni (award ceremony), ödüllendirmek (to reward), and ödüller (prizes, awards, the plural form).

Grammatically, ödülün can appear in different syntactic roles within a sentence. It can function as a determiner within a noun phrase, as in ödülün adı (the prize’s name), or as part of a larger clause, such as ödülün verildiği açıklandığında (when it was announced that the prize would be awarded). The plural possessive form is ödüllerin (the prizes’), used similarly to indicate possession by multiple prizes.
