Questions & Answers about Onun beklemesine gerek yok; sonuçları ben yollarım.

What does the ending in beklemesine mean?

It’s a verbal noun with case and agreement: bekle-me-si-ne.

• bekle-: wait (verb stem)
• -me: nominalizer (turns the verb into “waiting”)
• -si: 3rd person possessive (“his/her/its waiting”)
• -ne: dative case (-e/-a), attached with a buffer -n- Together: “to his/her waiting,” i.e., “for him/her to wait.”

Why is it Onun and not O?

With Turkish verbal nouns (the -me/-ma nominalization), the doer is marked by the genitive. So you must say Onun beklemesi…, not O beklemesi…. Genitive (onun) + possessive (-si) is the standard pairing.

Why is the verbal noun in the dative: beklemesine?

Because the idiom X‑e gerek (var/yok) takes a dative complement. Here, the “X” is the verbal noun, hence dative: beklemesine gerek yok = “there is no need for (his/her) waiting.”

Is Onun beklemesi gerek yok acceptable?

No. With gerek yok, the complement must be in the dative: Onun beklemesine gerek yok. Alternatively, you can switch to the verb gerekmek: Onun beklemesi gerekmiyor (“his/her waiting is not necessary”).
