this might help http://www.turkishclass.com/forumTitle_13_2090

Thanks - but that still doesn't answer the fundemental question that I am losing sleep over:

If I want to use a personal pronoun then how do I know which of the states below it should be put in???

	1st	2nd	3rd
nominal	ben	sen	o
accusative	beni	seni	onu
genitive	benim	senin	onun
dative	bana	sana	ona
locative	bende	sende	onda
ablative	benden	senden	ondan

Cheers

Bod,
if a dog has a personality would you talk about him as she or he? I mean "I don't want him to bark" sounds better to me than "I don't want it to bark" if I were talking about Flos. But I'm not sure.

Yes - I would certainly refer to Floss as "she" and not "it" (Floss is female!).

Also bear in mind that for the purposes of learning TÃ¼rkÃ§e, Floss is fully personified and I talk to her in TÃ¼rkÃ§e in the same manner as I would if I were talking to another person. I do not talk to her as a dog!!!

Hi bod,
as usual you are asking advanced questions. The correct sentence would be one of those:

1. Flos, senin havlamanı istemiyorum.
2. Flos, havlamanı istemiyorum.

You would get worried about me if I wasn't asking advanced questions wouldn't you lol

Thanks for the explanation - but it doesn't actually answer my question......and it raises another :-S

My original question is what is the rule for the noun state of the person pronoun? You have used "senin" which is the genitive state. Would I be right that the genitive state is used because the barking belongs to the pronoun?

The other question your explanation raises is why the verb "havlamak" has a verbal noun suffix and is not used in the Mastar Hali form?

Example:
Havlamak istiyorum - I want to bark
Havlamak istemiyorum - I don't want to bark
Why can't this be extended to
Senin havlamak istemiyorum

Is it because, to associate the verb "havlamak" with a person or pronoun other than the subject of the verb "istemek" requires a possessive suffix to be added to "havlamak"???

What is the rule for putting pronouns into a noun state???

For example, would you use the accusative or dative state for this sentence? And more importantly, why?
Floss, seni havlamak istemiyorum.
Floss, sana havlamak istemiyorum.

Floss, I do not want you to bark.

The CD I have for learning TÃ¼rkÃ§e says that toast is "tost" but the dictionary says it is "kızarmış ekmek"

Is toast actually eaten in TÃ¼rkiye and if so, which one of the above is the description that would be used in daily speech???
