İşte 

This points to or refers back to something you can see, hear, feel,taste or smell.

İşte ! Geliyor ! ---> There ! He´s coming. [implying "I said he would come, didn´t I ? ] 

Kitaplar işte orada ! ---> The books are over there, see ! [pointing to them]

Beğenmemişler işte ! ---> There you see ! They didn´t like it. [Didn´t I tell you they wouldn´t ]

Note: Sometimes by extension this form becomes merely emphatic. 

Gitmiyorum işte ! ---> Well, I´m not going ! So there !

Adjectives with the possessive

 

An adjective used without a noun is understood to refer to a noun :

Exp :

Sarı temiz, yeşil değil. ----> The yellow one is clean, the green one is not.

 

* When an adjective used like this refers to one out of a number of persons or things, the adjective takes the third person possessive suffix.

- Sarı temiz, yeşili değil.

 

- Hangisi ucuz ? kahverengi mi, kırmızı mı ? 

   Which [of them] is cheaper ?, the brown or the red ?

 

- Hangisini aldın ? 

 Which of them did you buy ?

 

---------------------------------------------------------------------

aynı - same

aynısı - the same of it [the same as that ]

- Şapkasını beğendim, ben de aynısını aldım. 

I liked his hat and I bought the same [of it]

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The word hep, which can be translated as "always" but can also mean "all", is used with this possessive suffix - hepsi

-  Hepsi ne kadar ? ---> How much is it all ? [all of it ]

- Hepsine para verdim. ---> I gave [some] money to all of them.

Quoting scalpel - 

p.s. Dear Tunci, I am so sorry for last night that Fener sent Cimbom back home with empty hands and tears in eyes.. But I think you are very used to it after all these 16 years.  {#emotions_dlg.flowers}

 

Dear Scalpel, Don´t be sorry. Galatasaray is still most known/succesful Turkish team in Europe/World. {#emotions_dlg.bye}
