If a suffix is added to a 'word' with no vowels, what form does the suffix take as there are no vowels to determine the form!

For example:
MSN'ım - MSN'im - MSN'um - MSN'üm
which is correct?

Turkish alphabet consists of 29 letters - 8 vowels and 21 consonant
Each letter has exactly one associated sound which never changes.
Three letters of the English alphabet are missing in the Turkish alphabet.
Q-q
W-w
X-x
There are six additional characters not found in the English alphabet.
Ç-ç
Ğ-ğ
I-ı
İ-i
Ö-ö
Ş-ş
Ü-ü

The letters of Turkish alphabet and the sounds associated with these are in the following table...
Letter Pronunciation
A, a like the a in car
B, b like the b in bet
C, c like the g in gender
Ç, ç like the ch in chance
D, d like the d in debt
E, e like the e in less
F, f like the f in felony
G, g like the g in game
Ğ, ğ this is a very weak sound, not pronouncing at all will be ok
H, h like the h in hello
I, ı like the e in halted
İ, i like the ee in keen
J, j like the ge in garage
K, k like the k in kelly
L, l like the l in lamb
M, m like the m in man
N, n like the n in neighbor
O, o like the a in ball
Ö, ö like the u in urge
P, p like the p in pen
R, r like the r in rent
S, s like the s in send
Ş, ş like the sh in shed
T, t like the t in tennis
U, u like the oo in good
Ü, ü like the u in nude
V, v like the v in vent
Y, y like the y in yes
Z, z like the z in zen

I hope this helps you

Thx Elisa,got you


İ love Türkçe,its logical and easy,the hard part is only to understand the logic ,, lol

I think, it depends on how you pronounce the word which is not Turkish. As you wrote; "MSN" is not Turkish, but how will you pronounce it? It is a special name like "Jacob", not like "pencil". So, if Jacob is German, you should pronounce it "yakob"; if Amerikan, "jay-coup" or depends on how Jacob prefers. But you never pronounce "pencil" as what you prefer, like "pen-jill" in Turkish

MSN pronounced "em es en" on all over the world, so we assume that we pronounce it same in Turkey too: "emesen". If we agree with the pronounciation, then we can go on with suffixes.

As pronounciation in Turkish:
emesen+(i)m=emesenim
as you see we added "-im", so we should write:
MSN'im

By the way, some people in Turkey pronounce it "mesene" (I don't judge them, maybe wrong but let me show you how they add this suffix)

As pronounciation in Turkish:
mesene+(i)m=mesenem
as you see, we added just "-m", so we write:
MSN'm

If you pronounce MSN another type, you may add this suffix in another case, like "-ım","-um","-üm"(but i dont think this)

Even though some Turkish people have a tendency to pronounce MSN as em-es-en that's wrong. The correct pronunciation should be as me-se-ne. Not any English person pronounces TRT (Turkish Radio Television) as te-re-te, he does as ti-ar-ti as it is compatible with English fonetics.

It is therefore the wovel in any suffix attached to msn should harmonize with the wovel "e".

"â" is not a new letter, just "a" with ^ a signal. not like "ö". ö is a new letter, different from "o", but "â" is not different from "a".

â is just a light a, which used with foreign words too,because the â sound is not in the Türk alphabet

Even i don't have it in my keyboard :-S

Can any have Turkish keyboard help me here please ?

Where is the letter â in the Turkish keyboard ?

You call that easily ?? lol

İ thought there is a button like Ç and Ö

â,woo hooo,it worked, thanks caliptrix

you mean it should be written this way with all arabic words ? using this ^ ?
