In Turkish, we create Possessive Construction with a very simple rule:

Tamlayan + Tamlanan

"Tamlayan" tells what "tamlanan" belongs to. For example, at sentence of "the door of car", the door belongs to car, so door is "tamlanan" and car is "tamlayan."

In Turkish, we do it at opposite side; "car´s door" explains this better. We add some suffixes nearby both Tamlanan and Tamlayan. Let´s see their suffixes.
