If I wanted to write a sign saying "turn your BlueTooth on" would that be:
Siz BlueTooth'ın açınız

where does the nuzu come from???
n-uz-u
buffer consonant + first person plural possessive + possessor suffix?

Since the bluetooth is an English word it is difficult to add Turkish suffixes to it. As the word ends in the sound of "t" (we do not have "th" sound in TR phonetics)we need to add "u" before the buffer letter "n"
u-n-uz-u

"Bluetooth" is actually Danish - it is named after Harald Bluetooth who was a 10th century Danish king.
So should it be "Bluetooth'unuzu" or "Bluetooth'nuzu"?

"Bluetooth'unuzu" is the correct one.

I am still not understanding why "uz" needs to be in there :-S Surely that makes it "our Bluetooth" not "your Bluetooth".....
