In this thread I have discussed this issue today.

I'm sure İsmail Yk or anybody else involved in his albums would be proud to see this page. At the same time they would be very surprised to see how serious people took the lines which they made up in five minutes. Even Tarkan would laugh at these lines.

Turkish pop music taste keeps dropping over the years but it never reaches an end. I wonder when we will reach the bottom and then strart rising again.

If one day, meaningless lyrics start killing people, I'm sure this will be in Turkia.

Bak bak tak tak bombala bombala.

The majority in cities lives in apartment flats. I have come to London from Ankara and in many ways these two cities are exactly the opposite.

No, of course you didn't imply anything. I just wanted to say that we are sorry that the dictionary is not perfect yet because it is a bit unclear about the case suffixes and some entries are missing.

Btw, don't be shy if you want to criticize something like this. We can only welcome such critics. Thank you.

Yes, there is a rule.

"The case suffix for the object needs to be choosen according the verb"

This might not look very helpfull as you need to know what verb takes what case suffix. All verbs take certain case suffixes. So we say "-i sevmek", -"e inanmak" etc.

The dictionary that opens when you double click a word, turkishdictionary.net is part of this website. It is designed to help the learners. When you double click these verbs you will see what case to use.

sevmek << double click
inanmak << double click

It will say something like /ı/ /a/ where /ı/ means accusative (-ı,-i,-u,-ü) and /a/ means dative (-e,-a). We are aware that we need to improve the dictionary. We are working on it. Bye.

About accusative I have added an example. Here is another one:

Sophie'nin arabası çok güzel.
No accusative is used since there is no transitive verb (a verb that takes an object. Accusative case suffix is also called object suffix)

Sophie'nin arabasını beğeniyorum.
Accusative is used since there is a transitive verb "beğenmek" (a verb that takes an object). We say "-i beğenmek".

With proper names spelling doesn't change but the pronounciation changes with consonant mutations.

Example:

Burak > Burak'ı
It's spelling is the same but pronounciation needs to be changed. changes.

Notice that with ordinary names both it's spelling and pronounciation changes.
Example:
ekmek > ekmeği

Single syllables are usually exempt from consonant mutation.
example:

Berk > Berk'i
Nor it's spelling or pronounciation changes becaus it is a single syllable.

yat > yatı
kat > katı
çark > çarkı

But there are exepions:
çok > çoğu

"Sophie'nin arabası" this is a defined noun modification.


Sophie + n + in araba + s +ı
Noun + buffer -n + genitive case -in + noun + buffer -s + noun modification suffix -ı

If you say "Sophie'nin arabasını" :

Sophie + n + in araba + s +ı + n + ı
Noun + buffer -n + genitive case -in + noun + buffer -s + noun modification suffix -ı + buffer -n + accusative case -ı

You need to use a transitive verb with accusative. For instance "anlamak" is a transitive verb. This means it takes an object and we use an object suffix. The object suffix is also called the accusative case suffix.

So we say "-i anlamak" where anlamak takes the accusative (object suffix).

Erdinç'in dersini anlamıyorum.

But, without a transitive verb we don't add the accusative:

Erdinç'in dersi çok açıklayıcı.
