In the examples mentioned above possessive suffixes (-im,-m) are attached to nouns. Check below for more possessive suffixes. You pick one of four according vowel harmony.

Kelebek+im > kelebeğim
kuzu+m > kuzum (after a vowel we add only -m, -n, etc. See below)

If the last letter is p,ç,t,k and is followed by a suffix that starts with a vowel it will change to b,c,d,ğ in that order. So we speak and write is as kelebeğim. Words with one syllable (one vowel) don't follow consonant mutation.

You can use the personal adjectives to add stress but they can be omited as well since it is clear from the suffix which person the word refers. We could say "benim kelebeğim" or just "kelebeğim".

Can understand these sentences?
Benim Almancam çok iyi değil ama İngilizcem biraz daha iyi.
Benim arabam bozuldu, senin araban var mı?


Vowel harmony rules formulized:
If the last vowel is one of these "a","ı" > use "ı"
If the last vowel is one of these "e","i" > use "i"
If the last vowel is one of these "o","u" > use "u"
If the last vowel is one of these "ö","ü" > use "ü"


Possessive Suffixes

after a consonant
my – benim -ım -im -um -üm
your – senin -ın -in -un -ün
his/her/its – onun -ı -i -u -ü -
our – bizim -ımız -imiz -umuz -ümüz
your – sizin -ınız -iniz -unuz -ünüz
their – onların -ları -leri -ları -leri

after a vowel
my – benim -m
your – senin -n
his/her/its – onun -sı -si –su -sü
our – bizim -mız- miz -muz -müz
your – sizin -nız -niz -nuz -nüz
their – onların -ları -leri

Merhaba Erdinc.
I will try to translate your sentences, but i'm begginer... please be patient with me!:

Benim Almancam çok iyi değil ama İngilizcem biraz daha iyi = My german is good, but my english is better

Benim arabam bozuldu, senin araban var mı? = My car... There is your car? (i'm not sure )

Now i will try to write some examples:

Possessive Suffixes
Benim gözlerim = My eyes.
Benim kitapim = My book
Senin atim = Your horse
Senin elmazin = Your apple
Benim ellerım = My hands
Senin çıçekin = Your flower

I hope my examples are ok
I know my sentences so easy!! But i'm beginning to learn turkish.

Tesekkur ederim!

M.T.
