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)

Teşekkürler

 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-sı

gömlek - gömleğ-i

pantolon - pantolon-u  

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

There is a similar thread here.

Teşekkürler herkese

Another one is coming here execuse me but I just have no clue what´s it for

Bunlar gerçek çiçektir

I know that it´s originally dir but what´s the -dir suffix is for?

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)

´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  ]

Isn´t görmedik we didn´t see?

Çok Çok Teşekkür Edrim Lady in Red

Another one that I forgot to ask about is ki like:

Her zamankı

Quote:

 [not too sure about the ´te´ ending on ´isteyip´ though  ]

te ending is originally de and It´s te here because of consnant harmony you can read about here

..of course it is...I wasn´t thinking!

I didn´t mean I don´t know what the ´te/de´ ending means - I meant I wasn´t sure what it was doing attached to an ´ip´ ended verb in this case  Unless the ´ip´ here has some other meaning.   Difficult to tell with just the one word.

Correct way to write it:

isteyip de (but de behaves like a suffix and subject to consonant mutation here so "isteyipte" reflects how we say it)

Thanks si++ - I understand that, but what does it mean? Can you give me a sentence where you would use verb+ip+de/te suffix like this?  Because to me it looks like ´in/on/at wish and.....´ or ´wish and too...´ neither of which makes sense to me.   Excuse me if I am being rather dense here.

it´s difficult without a context, I think so too.

But.. could it be something like: "Bir araba isteyip de aldı" - "He wanted a car and bought [it]". If I remember correctly, "de" can take the meaning of "ve"..

I think you might be right - thanks - I forgot ´de´ can be used for ´and´ but it´s sort of unnecessary with the ´ip´ I would have thought.

Okay, let us put few basic things on the table directly:

• There is no -te/ta conjunction in Turkish, it can only be suffix, primaly the locative one, hence always attacthed to the previous part of the word and means, as you already wrote above, in/on/at :

Example: Sinifta, (ilk) bakişta, uçuşta

• If -de/da is written separetely, then it is the conjunction there, primaly meaning ´and/as well/either/neither´ but sometimes ´but´, like in the case here. If it is written together, then it is the locative suffix (actually the prior and original version of -te/ta above):

Example:

masada, görevde, firinda -  lokative suffix

ben de, sen de, yarin da - conjuntion, simply ´too, as well´

in negative statements, it means ´neither, either´

Ben de sevmedim. - I didn´t like either.

And finally, and rarely it means ´but, and yet´:

Isteyip de elde edememek

Gidip de donmemek

Gorüp de soylememek

Bilip de bilmemezlikten gelmek

Here, -de/da signals that the following part is negative, opposite, etc. of the first part, hence roughly ´but´.

Thank you for your explanation!

So, my example wasn´t good. Guess this would be better: "Bir araba isteyip de almadı" ?

Edit: guess I concentrated too much on your last examples and not on what you said before.. So my first example was also right

Anyway, thanks!

Harika! - Şimdi anladım - çok teşekkürler Gezegen.

Yes, your example, I mean ´de/da´ in that usage is rarer than ´but, and yet´. Yours conveys like the meaning of the suffix ´-erek/arak´:

"Bir araba isteyip de aldı" = Bir araba isteyerek aldi.

Isteyip de evlendim. = Isteyerek evlendim.

Isteyip de yaptim. `= Isteyerek yaptim.

But again, here it roughly means ´and´ and in other cases ´and yet´, hence your other example makes perfect sense:

Bir araba isteyip de al(a)madi. - He wanted to buy a car, and yet he couldn´t afford.

A quick reply:

-ki: possesive suffix, giving the meaning of ´belong to, of, in, etc.´:

her zamanki : something that´s belong to ´her zaman´- as usual

benimki/seninki/onunki: mine/yours/hers

o günkü yürüyüş: demonstration of that day

bu yilki gelir: the income of this year

sabahki konuşma/yarinki toplanti: the speech of this morning/meeting in tomorrow

Excuse me gezegen,

Maybe we should not be too concerned about the nomenclature as your explaination is OK but I feel an urge to correct you here.

-ki is not a possessive suffix here as it produces adjectives/pronouns. It is the participle (sıfatfiil) form of ermek (to be) verb. As opposed to possessive suffixes (-(i)m, -(i)n , -(s)i etc), it produces new derived words so it is an derivation (üretim) suffix.

useful topic thanks all

s++ - Get out of my way!

What is your way?

 And just to say that this is one that loads of Turks get wrong, just look at signs, posters, facebook, posts on the translation forum

bende seni seviyorum canım benim

should always be ben de seni seviyorum canım benim

etc!

The abyss!

Good luck. Vaya con Dios!

Hey again I´m just trying to read to increase my vocubulary and I´ve found a verb that has the -yarak added wanted to know what is it

kurtulamıyarak

It´s actually -arak/-erek which becomes -(y)arak/(y)erek if verb a stem ends with a vowel.

It must have been covered many times here. Try to use Search feature of this site.

I tried it using "arak" for example and got something like this.

thanks si++ this time I made sure to check on the website search first but I didn´t find any result

I found this while I was reading

istiyorsak

I know istiyor of course but what about the sak in the end

sorry about that but another suffix came to my way which is -ken like toplarken

I also made sure searching

yardımınız herkes için çok teşekkürler

istiyorsak = istiyor isek

isek = ise-k (ise + 1st pl person suffix) so

ise = if

-k = we

ise-k  = if we ...

istiyor isek (or istiyorsak) = if we want it

Also try the search using "ise" and you should get some more threads about it

-ken is actually "iken" which means while/when

toplarken = toplar iken (while/when collecting)

Also try to Seach using iken.
