yes it does!!! thx alot!!! but i'm still confused about when to add accusative suffix to a noun acting as object...it seems in some cases it does need it and in occasions otherwise they don't... |
We show accusative suffix as -(y)i. The "y" is the buffer letter which is added after a vowel. But if you add accusative suffix after a possessive suffix it becomes -(n)i (buffer letter becomes "n")
So
Portakal su-yu -- orange juice + 3rd POSS.
Portakal su-yu-nu -- orange juice + 3rd POSS. + ACCU.
Accusative is needed when it is definite object.
Portakal suyu içmek -- drink water juice
Portakal suyunu içmek -- drink the water juice |
thank you so much!!! and while we're at it, can you tell me what the suffix -(y)an is for? those suffix dictionaries have so many versions...

Usually it is used to combine two sentences.
Bir kız parkta yürüyor -- A girl is walking in the park.
o kız bana geliyor -- That girl is coming to me.
Parkta yürü-yen kız -- the girl (who is) walking in the park
Parkta yürü-yen kız bana geliyor
The girl (who is) walking in the park is coming to me
But it can be used as follows as well:
Yürü-yen bir kız - A walking girl
