This is from one learner to another, so take this with a grain of salt. 

 

Annesinin büyük evinin ön bahçesinindeyiz.

I know tureng.com give ön bahçe as front yard, but I´m wondering if it wouldn´t sound better as:

Annesinin büyük evinin önündeki bahçedeyiz.

 

And also, for: Senin evinin anahtarý mutfak dolabýmýn en yüksek çekmecesinda. - I´m wondering if it shouldn´t be ev anahtarý instead of evinin anahtarý - the house doesn´t own the key, it´s the key to the house. Even in English I haven´t come across anybody saying the key of the house, it´s usually the house key or the key to the house.

 

As far as the suffixes I think all is correct.

 

Again, I´m a learner, so I could be wrong here. Maybe somebody more advanced or a native will double check.

Orhan´Ã½n erkek kardeþinin yeþil sýrt çantasýnýnda ne var?

 

... en yüksek çekmecesinda    => ..çekmecesinde : vowel harmony

 

...odasýnýndasýnýz? => odasýndasýnýz?
