Quoting Elisa:

Quoting lady in red:


I may be wrong (and I probably am!) but I understood that it would be 'Güzelim' for 'I am beautiful' but 'Guzeliyim' if you want to say 'my beautiful one'



That looks a bit weird LIR

It really is "güzelim": güzel + possessive suffix -im

Btw, if you'd add those suffixes to a word ending in a vowel, the suffix vowel drops, eg. araba - arabam: my car (and not "arabayım", that would be "I am a car")



Thanks Elisa - told you I was probably wrong! I'll get these things right one day!

My car = Arabam
This is my car.

I'm a car. = Ben bir arabayım.


Arabayım=Araba +y+ ım
Araba = Araba + m


Like this. I hope you can understand.
