Use mühendis for an engineer of any gender. Here you will show someone a drawing, locate a key and say which engineers belong to your team. The table separates cases from possessive forms, even where their spelling is identical.
The idea
The last vowel of mühendis is i, so its forms include mühendisi, mühendisimiz and mühendisler, despite the earlier ü. The final s stays before a vowel; before the locative or ablative it gives mühendiste and mühendisten. To say “to our engineers”, build mühendislerimize: engineer + plural + our + to. The suffix pages explain the general patterns.
| Use | Form |
|---|---|
| Base form: engineer | mühendis |
| Accusative: specific object | mühendisi |
| Dative: to the engineer | mühendise |
| Locative: with the engineer | mühendiste |
| Ablative: from the engineer | mühendisten |
| Genitive: of the engineer | mühendisin |
| Plural: engineers | mühendisler |
| Possessive: my | mühendisim |
| Possessive: your (singular) | mühendisin |
| Possessive: his/her | mühendisi |
| Possessive: our | mühendisimiz |
| Possessive: your (plural/polite) | mühendisiniz |
| Possessive: their (one or more engineers) | mühendisleri |
| Our engineers | mühendislerimiz |
| To our engineers | mühendislerimize |
| We are engineers | mühendisiz |

Watch out
Mühendisim can mean “my engineer” or “I am an engineer”: Ben mühendisim gives the speaker’s profession, while benim mühendisim names someone associated with the speaker. Likewise, mühendisimiz means “our engineer”, but mühendisiz means “we are engineers”; that extra im changes the meaning.
Try it yourself
Complete: the engineer has the key today. Write only the missing form of mühendis.
Show answer or example answer
mühendiste
mühendiste: the key is with the engineer, so the sentence needs a location. The final voiceless s makes the ending -te; mühendisde is not the correct spelling.
Complete: we know this engineer well. Write only the missing word.
Show answer or example answer
mühendisi
mühendisi: bu points to a particular engineer, who is the object of tanıyoruz. The accusative -i marks that specific person; the stem’s s does not change.
Complete: we reserved the new desks for our engineers. Express “for our engineers” in one word.
Show answer or example answer
mühendislerimize
mühendislerimize: several engineers receive the desks, and they belong to our team. -ler supplies the plural, -imiz supplies “our”, and the final -e marks the recipients.
Complete: I am an engineer. Write only the missing word.
Show answer or example answer
mühendisim
mühendisim: ben is the subject, so this is a statement of profession. “My engineer” would instead be benim mühendisim, a noun phrase with the possessive pronoun.
