üyelerini

üyelerini is a Turkish noun phrase meaning “their members.” It is built from üye (member) in the plural form üyeler, combined with suffixes that indicate possession and case. The form expresses ownership by a third party and marks the object of a sentence, so it commonly translates to “their members” or “the members of them” in English, depending on context. In Turkish, such suffixed forms are used to attach information about who the members belong to and to show their grammatical role in a clause.

Morphology and usage can be described as follows: the base is üyeler (members). The possessive suffix for a third-person plural subject attached to the plural form yields a sequence that results in üyelerini, which functions as the definite direct object in a sentence when the noun is plural possessor. This makes it suitable for sentences where the members belonging to a group are the thing being acted upon.

Examples illustrate its use. Derneğin üyelerini toplantıya çağırdılar means they called the association’s members to the meeting. Belediyenin üyelerini kaydetti means they registered the municipality’s members. Such forms appear in formal or written Turkish and are common in organizational contexts, where precise specification of “whose members” and the member’s role in the action is required.
