Sui has too many students to help. Let me give a hand here.
Shizuma,
There are some suffixes that have two versions:
plural suffix: -ler, -lar (example: arabalar, evler)
infinitive suffix: -mek, -mak (example: gitmek, koşmak)
locative case suffix: -de, -da (example: arabada, evde)
With two type suffixes we have two rules:
1. if the last vowel is a back vowel (a,ı,o,u) continue with the "a" suffix.
2. if the last vowel is a front vowel (e,i,ö,ü ) continue with the "e" suffix.
What is the last vowel in İstanbul? It is "u". So I put a back vowel if I´m adding a suffix that has two version: İstanbul´da
Some suffixes have four versions:
accusative case suffix: -ı,i,u,ü
present continuous tense suffix: -ıyor,iyor,uyor, üyor
question suffix: -mı, mi, mu, mü
With four type suffixes we have two rules:
1. if the last vowel is a back and flat (a,ı ) continue with the "ı" suffix.
2. if the last vowel is a back and round (o,u) continue with the "u" suffix.
3. if the last vowel is a front and flat (e,i) continue with the "i" suffix.
4. if the last vowel is a front and round (ö,ü ) continue with the "ü" suffix.
The last vowel in İstanbul is "u". So I put the -u suffix : İstanbul´u seviyorum.
