Quoting gokuyum

Look kash-ul-eman. Dont try to learn every principle about Turkish grammar. Even I dont remember the minor vowel harmony principles now. But I still talk properly. Read a lot and you will learn to use which form of suffix without knowing the minor vowel harmony principles.

 

  • a or ı may be followed by a or ı
  • o or u may be followed by u or a
  • e or i may be followed by e or i
  • ö or ü may be followed by ü or e

 

here are three rules of vowel harmony:

  1. Back vowels are followed by back vowels, front vowels are followed by front vowels. Do not cross the back/front boundary.
  2. Unrounded vowels are followed by unrounded vowels.
  3. A rounded vowel may be followed by a mix of rounded closed and unrounded open vowels.

gokuyum is right, that is what happens even to learners, believe it or not. After plenty of repeating simple phonetical rules get automatized and then you are free to forget them. But unfortunately the number of repeats needed is in thousands.

I haven´t learned that rule ever, it´s just very logical to me,when I see E it´s just logical that suffix must be with İ. Like it´s in my blood. I don´t know how,i´s just like it this.

You were a Turk in your previous life Nemanja that is why. And I was an alien, that is why I behave so weird.
