-p- / -r- / -s- / -m-

İ understand that we add those to the adjectives so we give them deeper meaning.
Doğru mu ?

İ mean for example,
Pembe.....pe-s-pembe .. means heavy pink
Sıcak....sı-m-sıcak...means very hot.

But why we chose to use '-s-' with pembe, and not '-r-' or'-m-' for example ?

On what base we pick the letters we add to sıfat ?

You are right as meanings.

I don't know if there is a reason about the choosing the letter.

yepyeni
epeski

dümdüz
yamyassı

apaydınlık
kapkaranlık

dapdar
gepgeniş

upuzun
kıpkısa

simsiyah
bembeyaz

dosdoğru

etc.
