hello, whats the right way to say "of you" ? for example if i wanna say "i have been thinking of you" i would say, "dusunmektiyim senin" is it right? and could someone please give examples? thanks.

Look, tristerecuerdos, you can´t think of it that way. If you want to speak Turkish you will have to forget about the English way of expressing things. As for your example, start with the verb düşünmek and if you are not on terms with it yet check what the dictionary tells you:

düşünmek /ı/
1. to think of.
2. to consider, think about.
3. to worry (about). Düşün düşün boktur işin. vulg. The more you worry about your troubles the worse they seem. düşünüp taşınmak /ı/ to think over carefully, consider at length.

Can you see the pink part? It is important information for you. /ı/ after the verb means accusative (just like /a/ means dative, /dan/ means ablative). The verb düşünmek takes accusative object. The accusative of sen is seni.

>>>>>>>> Seni düşündüm.

Selam!! there is a part in the harmony vowel suffix that I don´t understand if there is someone to help plz

from the cat´s = kedininkinden

from the ship = gemilerinden

why is the "in" is added in here? I mean gemi+ler =their shipt den = from so why the in is added?

thanks in advance

 in the first word, it is "ki" that you should realize bambib. "ki" in that case is referring the object that belongs to the cat.  "ki" is functioning as relative pronoun "that,which" here "

benim = mine

benimki = the one that is mine

kedi = cat

kedinin = cat´s

kedininki = cat´s one [the one that is cat´s]

kedininkinden --> from the cat´s one [from the one that is cat´s]

and the "n" after "ki" is pronominal "n"

kedininkinden = from the cat´s one

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

"from the ship" should be  gemiden not gemilerinden

gemiler = ships

gemileri = his/her/its/their ships

gemileri + n [pronominal "n"] + den = from his/her/its/their ships.

1. kedi|nin|ki|n|den = ´cat´ + genitive + ki which stands here for the owned and makes it a noun (the one that belongs to the cat) + pronominal -n- + ablative ending

2. gemi|leri|n|den = ´ship´ + possessive suffix pl 3rd + pronominal -n- + ablative ending

Did you say you found them in a vowel harmony lesson? They are quite complicated words for that level. No wonder you wonder. Maybe they don´t expect you to understand their whole stucture at once but to pay attention to the vowels. (But why -ki-? It doesn´t even follow vowel harmony.)

I understood your main concern was the -n- preceding the case ending, right. It is a buffer letter used in the third person singular and plural between the possessive suffix and the case ending. You also find it between the pronoun -ki- and the case ending.

Great explanation Abla..

Thanks Abla! your explanation is awesome, I understood now
