Questions & Answers about Başvuru dilekçesi eksik; üstelik uyuşmazlık değeri yanlış yazılmış.

Why is başvuru dilekçesi translated as one unit? Is this a noun compound?

Yes. Başvuru dilekçesi is a noun compound meaning application petition / application letter / petition of application, depending on context.

It is built like this:

• başvuru = application
• dilekçe = petition, formal written request
• dilekçesi = its petition / the petition

In Turkish, many noun compounds work like X Y-si = the Y of X.

So:

• başvuru dilekçesi = application petition
• literally something like the petition of application

This is a very common Turkish structure.

Why does dilekçesi have -si on the end?

That -si is the 3rd-person possessive ending, which often appears in Turkish noun compounds.

In compounds like this:

• başvuru dilekçesi
• uyuşmazlık değeri

the second noun usually takes a possessive-type ending:

• dilekçe → dilekçesi
• değer → değeri

This does not necessarily mean there is an actual possessor like his/her/its in the English sense. In compounds, it is just part of the normal grammar pattern.

So:

• başvuru dilekçesi = application petition
• not necessarily his/her application petition

Why is there no verb in Başvuru dilekçesi eksik? Shouldn’t Turkish need a word for ?
