Turkish Grammar-5: Nouns-4.b.a

I will not do a long pre-explanation. :) I´m gonna just say that we call it "isim tamlaması" in Turkish. By direct translation: noun complement.

 

A) Belirtili İsim Tamlaması (Definite Posessive Determiner)

 

The formula of these is:

 

NOUN(genitive) + NOUN(posessive of 3rd person) 

 

We call "tamlayan" the part which takes genitive suffix, "tamlanan" the part which takes the posessive of 3rd person. The name of "genitive case" is "tamlayan hâli" like you know from the previous lessons. Such it bases on this.

 

If we call "tamlayan" as "x1" and "tamlanan" as "x2" , the formula is like that:

 

X1+in............X2+i = X2..........of.....the X1
