-ması nəticəsində
Result of a Nominalized Event
The pattern -ması nəticəsində is a formal way to express that one event happened as a direct consequence of another. It is common in news, academic writing, and official reports.
How It Works
To build this construction, follow these steps:
- Step 1: Put the subject of the cause in the genitive case (e.g., küləyin - of the wind).
- Step 2: Add the -ma/-mə suffix to the verb stem to create a verbal noun.
- Step 3: Add the 3rd person singular possessive suffix (-(s)ı/-(s)i/-(s)u/-(s)ü) to the verbal noun to agree with the genitive subject.
- Step 4: Add the word nəticəsində.
While often used for negative outcomes like accidents or natural disasters, it is also used in scientific or professional contexts for neutral or positive results. It is much more formal than using çünki or görə.

Common Mistakes
Omitting the genitive case on the subject.
Külək əsməsi nəticəsində ağac aşdı.Küləyin əsməsi nəticəsində ağac aşdı.Because this is a possessive construction ('the result of the wind's blowing'), the subject normally takes the genitive suffix, as in the right sentence.
Using the full infinitive (-maq) instead of the short infinitive (-ma).
Yağış yağmaq nəticəsində...Yağışın yağması nəticəsində...The postposition 'nəticəsində' requires a possessed noun, so you must use the -ma/-mə form with a possessive suffix.
How It Connects

They also need to understand how nouns are linked in possessive chains, as this pattern literally translates to 'in the result of [action]'.

Level 5 - -dan/-dən (çıxışlıq hal)Ablative Case
The word 'nəticəsində' is derived from the noun 'nəticə' (result) followed by the third-person possessive and the locative case, but functions as a postpositional phrase requiring the preceding nominalized event to be in the possessive form.
