QUOTING shizuma

i didnt understad   nerede?´, ´nereye?´, ´nereden?´ things in the homework wht it mean it take the same case suffixes

 

nerede means "(at, in, on) where"

nereye means "to where"

nereden means "from where"

 

 

in this example nere is the base word and the rest comes with the suffixes -e, -de, -den

 

nere(y)e: you may ask here where this (y) comes, it is because in turkish the same vovel doesnt come together generally, special occasions are exception like private names etc.

 

so you have to use a combining(kaynaştırma) suffix

 

I hope this answers your question a bit... good luck

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.

This is what Erdinc wrote in another thread:

 

back vowel = hard vowel = a, ı, o, u

front vowel = soft vowel = e, i, ö, ü

 

flat vowels = a, e, ı, i

round vowels = o, ö, u, ü
