Questions & Answers about Patent başvurusu yarın gönderilecek.

Why is it başvurusu and not just başvuru?

Because patent başvurusu is a Turkish noun compound meaning patent application.

In this kind of compound:

• the first noun stays bare: patent
• the second noun takes the 3rd person possessive suffix: başvuru + su

So:

• başvuru = application
• patent başvurusu = patent application

This suffix does not literally mean that the patent owns the application. It is just the normal way Turkish builds many noun-noun combinations.

The -s- is a buffer consonant, because başvuru ends in a vowel and the suffix also begins with a vowel.

Why doesn’t patent take any ending?

In this kind of noun compound, the first noun usually appears in its plain form.

So:

• patent başvurusu = patent application
• otobüs durağı = bus stop
• üniversite öğrencisi = university student

The first noun works a bit like a modifier in English. Turkish does not normally add a special ending to it here.
