Etymology

From Ottoman Turkish ـج (-c), as a result of phonetic change from the combination of -in (reflexive suffix) and -iş (reciprocal suffix), hence it is often classified as one suffix as -ınç.[1][2]

Pronunciation

Suffix

  1. With the -in reflexive suffix, derives nouns from verbs.
    öt- (to pass through, to make noise, to ask) + ‎-ün + ‎ → ‎ödünç (loan, any thing borrowed)
    bas- (to press, to step on) + ‎-ın + ‎ → ‎basınç (pressure)
    sev- (to love) + ‎-in + ‎ → ‎sevinç (joy, happiness)
  2. Derives nouns from some verbs, where the reflexive form replaced the main form and the suffix -in has lost function.

    utan- (to be ashamed) + ‎ → ‎utanç (shame)
  3. With the -in reflexive suffix, derives adjectives from verbs, even though the verbs may not have reflexive forms.

    gül- (to smile, to laugh) + ‎-(ün)ç → ‎gülünç (funny, ridiculous)
