çocuklar çikolata sever

çocuk

child by adding the suffix lar  it becomes children

the suffix on the core word is what gives you your plural

however  in turkish  if a number is present or an amount  you don´t pluralize like in english

3 child

is used in turkish not 3 children

car - araba

cars - arabalar

boy - erkek

boys - erkekler

 

suffix´s are also following vowel harmony

My Try:

 

Place WHO SAYS in the beginning and SAYS in the end, SAYS WHAT in the middle.

 

Pay attention to two words in the reported speech: the subject and the predicate of the embedded [] sentence:

 

Ahmedinejad, [Batı´nın İran´ın gücünden korktuğunu] söyledi. ‘Ahmedinejad said the West is afraid of Iran’s power.’

 

The case of the embedded subject is genitive:

 

Batı|’nin = stem + genitive ending

 

Personal participles are used in reported speech. Their marking is –ecek- (future) and –dik- (other tenses). Look what other stuff is added to the participle:

 

kork|tuğ|u|n|u = stem + participle marking + possessive suffix sg 3rd + pronominal –n- + accusative ending

Hello, Hindistan. I just tried to be simple and clear. It´s not my strongest point.
