We don´t use different relative suffixes for Plural Nouns. But, first, let´s see how we create plural nouns in Turkish.
We do it by two suffixes "-ler/-lar". We select one of them according to the Vowel Harmony.
ev: house > evler: houses
araba: car > arabalar: cars
defter: notebook > defterler: notebooks
kalem: pen/pencil > kalemler: pens/pencils
gün: day > günler: days
şarkı: song > şarkılar: songs
ders: lesson > dersler: lessons
düşünce: idea/thought > düşünceler: ideas/thoughts
şehir: city > şehirler: cities
etc...
Now, I´m going to tell you a very important clue:
Plural Suffixes always come before Relative Suffixes and Relative Suffixe MAY CHANGE ACCORDING TO THE STRUCTURE OF PLURAL SUFFIX
benim evim: my home > benim ev + ler + im: my homes in here, relative suffix did not change.
benim arabam: my car > benim araba + lar + ım in here, relative suffix HAS CHANGED because "arabalar" noun has ended with a consonant.
benim günüm: my day > benim gün + ler + im
As you see, we detect relative suffix according to "-ler/-lar"
senin evin: your house > senin evlerin: your houses.
bizim defterimiz: our notebook > bizim defterlerimiz: our notebooks
sizin düşünceniz: your idea/thought > sizin düşünceleriniz: your idea/thought.
