Hello, I have a question. How can I translate the sentence Kedin çantalarýn de çok para var and particularly the suffix n in çantalarýn. And the next thing is what is the meaning of the sentence Sizinki köyde mi oturuyor? and the suffix ki ? I just cannot grasp the meaning of the suffixes here in orer to translate the sentences. Thanks a lot!

I have a question too.Ked is a name? You meant "Ked´in çantalarýnda çok para var" ?

 

and

 

Sizin= your

Sizinki=yours

Benim=my

Benimki=mine

 

etc. This "ki" means "ownership"

I have the notes of a friend so I guess what I have copied was just written wrong. Probably Ked is the name. We are beginners and everything is sooooo complex... Thank you for the answer

 x´in çanta+lar + ý --> noun + plural noun suffix (-ler/-lar) + 3rd personal possesive suffix

 çanta +lar + ý +n + da --> in his/her bags,

-n is a fusion here (a buffer just like "y") when -de suffix follows a vowel, -n buffer is used between.
