I accept this as a compliment {#lang_emotions_satisfied_nod}

 

The reason is not only "vowel". The point is the pronounciation. kalp finishes with a light "l" as if the last vowel were treble/soft like e. This is like the other words, generally from Arabic:

 

saat > saatler

sadakat > sadakatsiz

etc

Yes, "kalbini" is correct. The reason is actually the "a" sound in kalp. It is not the regular "a". Loanwords, taken from other languages have different vowel sounds. Another example is gol (in football) which takes also front vowels: golü, golden sonra etc.

 

 

Caliptrix explains correctly the idea behind this as pronounciation. Indeed pronounciation takes priority over spelling. With originaly Turkish words pronounciation is the same as the spelling so there is no problem. But with foreign words you need to think about the pronounciation and not the spelling. Here is another example: Manchester´da, Manchester´a.
