-e is the original suffix, but it changes due to the LAST VOWEL, LAST CONSONANT and LAST LETTER of the word which the suffix comes after.
1)
to the house:ev+e= eve
LAST LETTER is a consonant, so we DON'T need a buffer, and THE LAST VOWEL is e in the category "soft vowels" (see the page for more: http://www.turkishclass.com/grammar_vowelHarmony1.htm )
And we add our suffix as -e because of the LAST LETTER and LAST VOWEL: eve
2)
Let's change our LAST VOWEL and take a "hard vowel"... For example o... Let's take the word telefon
to the telephon: telefon+e= telefona
As you see, LAST LETTER is a consonant so we dont need a buffer, and LAST VOWEL is a "hard vowel" so we need to change the suffix as a hard vowel "-a"... Result:
telefona
3)
Let's change our LAST LETTER and take a VOWEL... For example the word: pencere
to the window: pencere+e =pencereye
LAST LETTER is a VOWEL, so we NEED a buffer. It is here y, and the LAST VOWEL is e in the category of "soft vowels", so we need to make our suffix as a soft vowel: -ye Result:
pencereye
4)
Let's change our LAST LETTER and take a hard vowel: masa
to the table: masa+e= masaya
LAST LETTER is a VOWEL, so we NEED a buffer. It is here y, and the LAST VOWEL is a in the category of "hard vowels", so we need to change our suffix as a hard vowel: -ya Result:
masaya
another example for 4):
to Ankara: Ankara'ya
and your word: hastane
Could you see, which one is suitable for you?
Ok, I will say, it is 3)
to the tospital: hastane+e= hastaneye
LAST LETTER is a VOWEL, so we NEED a buffer. It is here y, and the LAST VOWEL is e in the category of "soft vowels", so we need to make our suffix as a soft vowel: -ye Result:
hastaneye
That's it!
I hope it is useful for everyone...
