merhaba
how do i follow the vowel harmony rule eg:
Sen Bob' <-- what would i add?
Sen Paige'im would that be right? -
sin -sın -sün -sun
what do each vowel letter follow i know that if the last vowel of paige is e it the e would be followed by the i correct? what are all the other vowel letters changed too in sentances, hope i dont confuse everyone on this again, i dont explain my self properly!

It's easy:
1. If the last vowel is "a" or "ı" > use "ı"
2. If the last vowel is "e" or "i" > use "i"
3. If the last vowel is "o" or "u" > use "u"
4. If the last vowel is "ö" or "ü" > use "ü"
We have eight vowels: a,e,ı,i,o,ö,u,ü
-What is the last vowel in 'Bod'?
-It is 'o'.
-What does 'o' take?
-Acording number 3 above it takes 'u'. So we say Bod'sun.
Example:
Sen çok akıllı...
Last vowel in 'akıllı' is 'ı' and it should take 'ı' so it becomes Sen çok akıllısın.
Exercise:
Çok teşekkür eder...
a. -ım
b. -im
c. -um
d. -üm

Just ask me if you want to learn how I have formulized the rules on 1 to 4. They are according major and minor vowel harmony. I can explain these details if you want to learn the reason behind them as well. Bye.

Quoting erdinc: -What is the last vowel in 'Bod'?
-It is 'o'.
-What does 'o' take?
-Acording number 3 above it takes 'u'. So we say Bod'sun.

I think after a time, you don't need to think about these rules. The correct one already sounds better to your ear, and you find it without thinking.
