Quoting iHeartCrouchy: but i still don't get it why the accusative suffix has to be added to the noun "dönüş"... |
It is not the accusative case suffix but it is the third person possessive suffix -ü in dönüşÃ¼.
This suffix is added because "U dönüşÃ¼" is a noun modification. A noun modification means that two nouns are used to name an object.
Example:
bus stop > otobüs durağı
bus : otobüs
stop : durak
web site > web sitesi
web : web
site : sitesi
When creating a noun modification add the third person possessive suffix to the second noun and when you have to use a buffer letter you use the s buffer. Possessive suffixes take s buffer.
Summary:
noun modification = "noun1 noun2_s_i"
The s buffer is needed if noun2 ends with a vowel.
Some poeple confuse that suffix and will tell you it is accusative. No it is not. These are possessive suffixes:
Benim adım Ali.
Onun adı Ayşe.
Bu benim arabam.
Bu onun arabası. "s" is buffer and "ı" is third person possessive.
The same suffix appears in a noun modification:
"bebek arabası", (push chair) has the "s" buffer and "ı" possessive suffix.
Here is a full list of possessives:
benim ... -m, -ım, -im, -um, -üm
senin ... -n, -ın, -in, -un, -ün
onun ... -ı, -i, -u, -ü,
bizim ... -mız, -miz, -muz, -müz, -ımız, -imiz, -umuz, -ümüz,
sizin ... -nız, -niz, -nuz, -nüz, -ınız, -iniz, -unuz, -ünüz,
onların ... -ı, -i, -u, -ü,
Accusative never takes the "s" buffer but takes the "y" buffer.
Arabayı getir (bring the car).
