I would like to add some additional lessons about turkish consonants.

Turkish Consonants are divided into two Groups.

(1) The Soft Consonants: b-c-d-g-ğ-j-l-m-n-r-v-y-z
(2) The Hard Consonants: p-ç-t-k-h-f-s-ş

Two rules about words that ends with hard consonants are very important. One of them is "consonant hardening rule".

Consonant hardening:
If a word in turkish ends with a hard consonant, when you add a suffix beginning with a soft consonant, the soft consonant of the suffix gets hardened.

Forexample
park ends with a hard consonant "k", and when "da" suffix is added, "d" soft consonant hardens and becomes "t"
park + da = parkta (in the park)

What is the second rule?

The second rule is "consonant softening rule", it applies again to the words that end with a hard consonant, but this time the hard consonant itself becomes a soft consonant.


P -> B
Ç -> C
T -> D
K -> Ğ

Other four hard consonants (s, ş, h, f) stay unchanged.

This rule is to make words sound more gentle when a suffix starting with a vowel adds. (-ı, -e etc.)

Forexample:

Kitap (book)
This word ends with a hard consonant "p"
When you add any suffix starting with a vowel, for example -ı,
kitap + ı --> "kitapı" does not sound well so "p" softens to "b", and the word becomes "kitabı"

Quoting Ajira:

You use -ler if the last vowel of the word is a soft one as (e,i,ö,ü)
You use -lar if the last vowel of the word is a hard one as (a,ı,o,u)

I hope it helps

If your homework has not been evaluated by the teacher yet, you can delete it and re-submit.
