For 1 word buffer (y) if end letter vowel )I crossed the street : Caddeyi karşıdan karşıya geçtim.
For Compound word: Yeşiller Caddesi: 1st word modifies 2nd and cadde last letter vowel(e) That´s why, we put ´s´ buffer.Because in Turkish 2 vowel never together(exceptions: Persian,Arabic rooted words like saat(watch)
For compound word:buffer (n):I crossed the Green Street: Yeşil Caddesini karşıdan karşıya geçtim.
-n- versus -y-, which to use when
-n- buffer letter is called "zamircil n" (n pronomial) in Turkish. When there is a pronoun or possessive suffix you need an -n- after a suffix ending with a vocal.
examples:
o = he/she/that
o-n-a = to him/her/that
o-n-dan = from him/her/that
oda-y-a = into the room
oda-sı-n-a = into his/her room
oda-ları-n-a = into their room
oda-da = in the room
oda-sı-n-da = in /his/her room
oda-ları-n-da = in their room
oda-dan = fromthe room
oda-sı-n-dan = from /his/her room
oda-ları-n-dan = from their room
oda-y-ı = the room (accusative)
oda-sı-n-ı =his/her room (accusative)
oda-ları-n-ı = their room (accusative)
Pay an attention to compound nouns because they end with possessive suffixes.
Hafta sonu = weekend
Hafta son-u-n-da = in the weekend
Hafta son-ları-n-da = in the weekends
