üstünlüünün

Üstünlüğünün is a Turkish noun phrase that functions as the genitive/possessive form of the noun üstünlük, meaning the state or quality of being superior, i.e., superiority or excellence. Üstünlük is formed from the adjective üstün (superior) plus the noun-forming suffix -lük. By adding the third-person possessive suffix -ünün, the phrase expresses “of its superiority” or “its superiority.” It is used to attribute the quality of being superior to a referent, especially in formal or analytical contexts.

In usage, üstünlüğünün links the abstract quality to its owner or subject. Example: “Bir şirketin üstünlüğünün temel göstergeleri kalite, yenilikçilik ve güvenilirliktir.” This sentence illustrates how the possessive form ties the concept of superiority to the company. Another example: “Üstünlüğünün ölçümü rekabet analiziyle yapılabilir,” where the measurement of superiority is discussed in relation to competitive analysis.

Etymology and related terms: The form derives from Turkish word‑formation patterns, with üstünlük as the base noun meaning “superiority” and the suffix -l-ük turning an adjective into an abstract noun. The possessive suffix -ünün then marks ownership or attribution. Related terms include üstün (superior) and üstünlük (the concept or quality of being superior), which share the same root.
