Questions & Answers about Buluş sahibi rüçhan hakkını doğruladı.

What does buluş sahibi mean literally, and why is it used for inventor?

Literally, buluş sahibi means owner/holder of the invention:

• buluş = invention, discovery
• sahibi = its owner / owner of

In Turkish, this kind of expression is very common. Instead of using a single word equivalent to English inventor, Turkish often uses a noun phrase like buluş sahibi.

So even though the natural English meaning may be inventor, the Turkish structure is more like the owner of the invention.

Why is it sahibi and not just sahip?

Because this is a noun compound.

Turkish often builds phrases like X owner, X door, X name, X right by putting:

• the first noun in plain form
• the second noun with a possessive ending

So:

• buluş sahibi = owner of the invention
• not buluş sahip

Here, sahibi is sahip + -i, which is the 3rd person possessive ending used in this compound structure.

This does not always mean a literal his/her owner in English. In many cases, it is just the normal way Turkish forms compound nouns.
