Now, we know Relative Pronouns/Relative Suffixes and Possessive Construction. Let´s combine them.

For example: The door of my car. How can we say that? It is very easy. Let´s go step my step:

1) As a principle, start to translate FROM THE END OF SENTENCE. Because Turkish sentences are set by the opposite side of English sentences.

First let´s say my car: benim arabam

2) In here, we are going to imagine "benim arabam" as a single noun. "The doof my car."

Now, let´s go on.  "....of my car": benim arabamın .. Did you see it ? We go from the end of sentence.

3) And now, we will imagine "benim arabamın" as an apart noun: "the door of my car"

my car´s door: benim arabamın kapısı

Kapı is tamlanan in here, so it MUST MEET TAMLANAN SUFFIX. "benim arabam" is TAMLAYAN. SO, IT IS GOING TO MEET TAMLAYAN SUFFIX!

Let´s make another example:

The garden of my home:

Home: Ev

Garden: Bahçe

1) Start by the end of sentence. my home: benim evim.

2) Walk from the end of sentence straight to the start of sentence. Now, we are in the middle of sentence:

....of my home: benim evimin. (my home´s)

3) let´s add tamlanan right now: garden of my home: benim evimin bahçesi.

bahçe is tamlanan, that´s why it meets tamlanan suffixes.

Another example:

Front of your school (your is plural your, "sizin")

1) your school: sizin okulunuz.

2) ...of your school/your school´s: sizin okulunuzun.

3) and adding tamlanan; sizin okulunuzun önü.

Another example:

the page of his notebook

1) his notebook: onun defteri.

2) ...of his notebook/his notebook´s: onun defterinin.

note: underlined "n" is connection word. tamlayan suffix came nearby a vowel, so we added "n")

3) adding tamlayan: onun defterinin sayfası.

"sayfa" is tamlanan, it met tamlanan suffixes.

Another example:

Back of our home

as a reminder, back: arka

1) our home: bizim evimiz.

2) ...of our home/our home´s: bizim evimizin.

3) adding tamlanan: bizim evimizin arkası.

FOR PLURAL NOUNS:

Plural suffix is going to have priority in here, too. Let´s make plural the sentences above:

the gardens of my homes:

1) my homes: benim evlerim.

2) ...of my homes: benim evlerimin.

3) adding tamlanan:

garden: bahçe ... gardens: bahçeler

4) benim evlerimin bahçeleri

the pages of his notebooks:

1) his notebooks: onun defterleri.

2) ...of his notebooks: onun defterlerinin.

(underlined "n" is connection word!)

3) adding tamlanan:

page: sayfa ... pages: sayfalar

4) onun defterlerinin sayfaları.
