Hi I just read some sentences that have some suffixes I´m not used to. In the following you will find these sentences:

 

O çorabını giyiyor. (suffix: ın )

O ayakkabısını giyiyor. (suffix: sın)

O gömleğini giyiyor.  (suffix: in)

O pantalonunu giyiyor. (suffix: un)

 

What I wanted to know what´s the use of these suffixes and when I should use them or is it only for harmony.

 

Thanks

They are possesive suffixes.

 

He is wearing his sock(s).

 

 

additional info:

He is wearing the socks.

O, çorabı giyiyor. (If you mean he is doing the action now)

 

He is wearing socks.

O, çorap giyiyor. (If you mean he has some socks on)

 I don´t know what made you think they were, but ın, sın, in, un are not suffixes here.

 

Possessive suffixes for 3rd person singular are: -ı, -i, -u, -ü; -sı, -si, -su, -sü.

 

çorap - çorab-ı

ayakkabı - ayakkabı-

gömlek - gömleğ-i

pantolon - pantolon- 

 

Between 3rd person´s possessive suffix ending in a vowel and a case suffix there always is helping sound -n- :

 

In the examples the case suffixes are -ı, -i, -u, (-ü  as the words are direct object:

 

çorab-ı-n-ı

ayakkabı-sı-n-ı

gömleğ-i-n-i

pantolon-u-n-u

The ´dir´ suffix is often used in official notices or newspapers and has a similar meaning to ´is´ or ´are´. It also has other uses as a suffix, but in your sentence it means ´are´. 

Bunlar gerçek çiçektir = These are real flowers.

See this link for more discussion about this suffix.

I think it is not used much in spoken Turkish, unless wanting to stress a fact.

Another link to explain it more.

Herkese Teşekkürler

another suffix I´ve found in homework here

kaldık-görmedik (dik)

I know di is for past tense and then we add the suffix for each pronoun

 

also another suffix I found on a poem:

isteyipte (ip)

isteyipte (ip)

 

´kaldık´ = ´we stayed´ and  ´görmedik´ = ´we saw´.  ´Dık/dik´ here is the first person plural ending not a suffix.

 

The ´ip´ suffix is used to join two verbs instead of using ´and´.  

 

Example: ´Bu akşam banyo yapacağım ve saçlarımı yıkayacağım´(This evening I am going to have a bath and I am going to wash my hair) becomes 

´Bu akşam banyo yapıp saçlarımı yıkayacağım´ (This evening I am going to have a bath and wash my hair´ - both meaning exactly the same thing.

 

The tense of the first verb is determined by the tense of the second verb.

 

More about ´ip´ here.  [not too sure about the ´te´ ending on ´isteyip´ though {#emotions_dlg.unsure} ]
