"n" is used in the following cases ;
1. When a pronoun takes a case ending ;
O [he , she ,it] + n + a ------> Ona ---> to him/ to her / to it
" O" is a personal pronoun.
Bu ----> this
Bu + n + u ---> Here "bu" takes accusative marking.
Bunu biliyorum ----> I know this.
" Bu" is demonstrative pronoun.
1*. It is not only used for pronouns [ it is also used in compound structures after the possessive suffix]
2*. It does not work with question pronouns [ Soru Zamirleri] , such as "Nere"
Nere = where
Nere + y + e ----> to where
Nereye baksam hep seni hatırlıyorum. ----> Whereever I look, I remember you. [ Everwhere I look reminds me of you ]"
=======================================
2. When the compounds takes case marking , it comes between the possessive marking and case marking.
Ali´nin kitabı --> Ali´s book
kitap + ı [possesive marking which indicates that the book is possessed by Ali]
Ali´nin kitabı + n + ı [ accusative marking]
Ali´nin kitabını aldım. ----> I took Ali´s book.
========================================
3. It comes before the genitive marking , if the word ends with a vowel.
Oda ---> room ---> this word ends with a vowel "a"
If we want to say " the room´s door" [ the door of the room] we need to put the genitive marking which is " ın " and we buffer with " n" in between them.
Oda + n + ın ---> The door´s
Odanın kapısı ---> The room´s door [ The door of the room].
===========================================
4. When the word takes case ending after "ki" relative pronoun ;
Masa = table
Masada = on the table
Masada + ki = the one [that is] on the table
Masada + ki + n + i [accusative case ending]
Masadakini ver ---> Give [me] the one [that] is on the table.
==================================
Exp :
Oturma odası [ living room] is a compound structure, " the room of living "
After the possessive marking "ı" , the locative case marking " da" [in] comes and we need " n " to combine them.
Oturma odası + n + da ==> In [the] living room [ in the room of living]
