This is the 11758th most frequent Turkish word.
geleneklerini
"Traditions" or "customs."
Here, the word 'geleneklerini' refers to 'its traditions', directly linking the traditions (gelenek) to the subject, the Turkish nation (Türk milleti). The suffix '-lerini' indicates possession and the accusative case, implying the traditions are being passed down as an object of the verb.
Türk milleti, geleneklerini nesilden nesile aktarır.
The Turkish nation passes down its traditions from generation to generation.
In this example, 'geleneklerini' refers to 'its traditions', associated with our family (Ailemiz). Again demonstrating possession and usage in the accusative case as the direct object of the verb 'yaşatır' (keeps alive).
Ailemiz, geleneklerini her bayramda yaşatır.
Our family keeps its traditions alive during every holiday.
In this context, 'geleneklerini' is used to mean 'their traditions', referring to the different communities. It is in the accusative case as it is the object of the gerund 'koruması' (preserving).
