My understanding is that the -ki suffix is used as a pronoun with the object being the stem of the formed word.

For example - are these correct?
evdekiler - the people in the house
dışarıdankı - the one from outside
kalemi arkadaşımkı - the pen of my friend
kırdakılar - people from rural areas

But today I have seen "şimdiki hava" which I take to mean "the weather at this moment". But in this sentence why does şimdi take the -ki suffix and not just the -in genitive suffix?

Is there a rule about when -ki is used as a possessive and when -in should be used?

kırdakılar - people from rural areas



evdekiler - ok
dışardaki - without n, and "-ki" is always "-ki", never changes to "-kı"
arkadaşımın kalemi - there is no "-ki"
kırdakiler - it is also "-ki" and so plural suffix is "-ler"

Oh - another suffix that disobeys vowel harmony........
How many more will I find???

So far I know of three:
-iyor
-abil
-ki


Are there any more?

ki takes only 2 shapes

ki and kü ,

i asked,and they said because it is a new suffix !!!!

That means it is going to be old someday and will take the 4 shpes of the vowel harmony rules ???
