In Turkish, possession is primarily indicated using <strong>possessive pronouns<\/strong> and <strong>possessive suffixes<\/strong>. This article will provide a comprehensive overview of how to express possession in Turkish, covering both possessive pronouns and suffixes, along with examples to illustrate their usage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_85 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/turkishfluent.com\/blog\/how-to-express-possession-in-turkish\/#The_Possessive_Pronouns_in_Turkish\" >The Possessive Pronouns in Turkish<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/turkishfluent.com\/blog\/how-to-express-possession-in-turkish\/#Turkish_Possessive_Suffixes\" >Turkish Possessive Suffixes<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/turkishfluent.com\/blog\/how-to-express-possession-in-turkish\/#Examples\" >Examples<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Possessive_Pronouns_in_Turkish\"><\/span>The Possessive Pronouns in Turkish<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Possessive pronouns in Turkish are similar to those in English; they indicate who owns something. However, in Turkish, they are not always necessary in a sentence because the possessive suffixes attached to the possessed noun can often provide sufficient information. Below is a list of possessive pronouns in Turkish:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Benim<\/strong> &#8211; My<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Senin<\/strong> &#8211; Your<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Onun<\/strong> &#8211; His\/Her\/Its<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bizim<\/strong> &#8211; Our<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sizin<\/strong> &#8211; Your (plural or formal)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Onlar\u0131n<\/strong> &#8211; Their<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When these pronouns are used in a sentence, they precede the noun and are often used for <strong>emphasis<\/strong> (they are not needed along with the possessive suffix). For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em><strong>Benim arabam<\/strong> 2020 model.<\/em> (My car is a 2020 model.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em><strong>Senin karde\u015fin<\/strong> hastanede \u00e7al\u0131\u015f\u0131yor.<\/em> (Your sibling works at the hospital.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em><strong>Onun kedisi<\/strong> \u00e7ok yaramaz.<\/em> (His\/Her cat is very naughty.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Note that you can also use the possessive pronouns alone, usually along a demonstrative adjective:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>Bu <strong>benim<\/strong><\/em>. (This is mine.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>\u015eu <strong>senin<\/strong>.<\/em> (That is yours.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"margin-top:32px;border-radius:5px;background-color:#990707;margin:24px 0;\">\n\t\t\t<iframe data-w-type=\"embedded\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" marginheight=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/sz8or.mjt.lu\/wgt\/sz8or\/xu9j\/form?c=0e79a5f9\" width=\"100%\" style=\"height: 0;\"><\/iframe>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/app.mailjet.com\/pas-nc-embedded-v1.js\"><\/script><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Turkish_Possessive_Suffixes\"><\/span>Turkish Possessive Suffixes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Turkish, possession is more commonly expressed through possessive suffixes added directly to the noun. These suffixes indicate the owner and the relationship between the owner and the object being owned. Below is a breakdown of the possessive suffixes in Turkish:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Subject Pronoun<\/th><th>Suffix for Singular Noun<\/th><th>Example (Bag)<\/th><th>Example (Notebook)<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Ben<\/strong> (I)<\/td><td>-\u0131m \/ -im \/ -um \/ -\u00fcm<\/td><td>\u00e7anta<strong>m<\/strong><\/td><td>defter<strong>im<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Sen<\/strong> (You)<\/td><td>-\u0131n \/ -in \/ -un \/ -\u00fcn<\/td><td>\u00e7anta<strong>n<\/strong><\/td><td>defter<strong>in<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>O<\/strong> (He\/She\/It)<\/td><td>-s\u0131 \/ -si \/ -su \/ -s\u00fc<\/td><td>\u00e7anta<strong>s\u0131<\/strong><\/td><td>defter<strong>i<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Biz<\/strong> (We)<\/td><td>-\u0131m\u0131z \/ -imiz \/ -umuz \/ -\u00fcm\u00fcz<\/td><td>\u00e7anta<strong>m\u0131z<\/strong><\/td><td>defter<strong>imiz<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Siz<\/strong> (You, plural\/formal)<\/td><td>-\u0131n\u0131z \/ -iniz \/ -unuz \/ -\u00fcn\u00fcz<\/td><td>\u00e7anta<strong>n\u0131z<\/strong><\/td><td>defter<strong>iniz<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Onlar<\/strong> (They)<\/td><td>-lar\u0131 \/ -leri<\/td><td>\u00e7anta<strong>lar\u0131<\/strong> \/ \u00e7anta<strong>s\u0131<\/strong><\/td><td>defter<strong>leri<\/strong> \/ defter<strong>i<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Important Note:<\/strong> As mentioned before, Turkish does not require possessive pronouns (like &#8220;benim&#8221; or &#8220;senin&#8221;) <strong>when possessive suffixes are already present on the noun<\/strong>. However, they can still be used to <strong>emphasize<\/strong> the possessor:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em><strong>\u00c7antam<\/strong> \u00e7ok pahal\u0131!<\/em> (My bag is very expensive!) or <em><strong>Benim \u00e7antam<\/strong> \u00e7ok pahal\u0131!<\/em> (with emphasis on the owner)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Vowel Harmony and Phonological Changes with Turkish Possessive Suffixes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The specific suffix used depends on the last vowel of the noun, following <a href=\"https:\/\/turkishfluent.com\/blog\/vowel-harmony-in-turkish\/\">the rules of vowel harmony in Turkish<\/a>. <strong>Vowel harmony<\/strong> dictates that the suffix should match the vowel type (front or back vowels) of the root word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moreover, when adding possessive suffixes to some Turkish nouns, you may notice <strong>phonological changes<\/strong>. Nouns ending in <strong>k, t, \u00e7,<\/strong> and <strong>p<\/strong> will change when the possessive suffix is added to preserve <strong>consonant harmony<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>k => \u011f\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>K\u00f6pek<\/strong> + <strong>-in<\/strong> = <strong>K\u00f6pe\u011fin<\/strong> (Your dog)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>t => d\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Yurt<\/strong> + <strong>-um<\/strong> = <strong>Yurdum<\/strong> (My dormitory)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u00e7 => c\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Ara\u00e7 + -\u0131m = Arac\u0131m<\/strong> (My vehicle)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>p => b\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Kitap<\/strong> + <strong>-\u0131m<\/strong> = <strong>Kitab\u0131m<\/strong> (My book)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Similarly, for some two-syllable words ending in a consonant with a high vowel (\u0131, i, u, \u00fc) in the middle, <strong>the vowel may drop<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>\u015eehir<\/strong> + <strong>-im<\/strong> = <strong>\u015eehrim<\/strong> (My city)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>\u0130sim<\/strong> + <strong>-im<\/strong> = <strong>\u0130smim<\/strong> (My name)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Burun<\/strong> + <strong>-um<\/strong> = <strong>Burnum<\/strong> (My nose)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Omuz + -um<\/strong> = <strong>Omzum<\/strong> (My shoulder)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Examples\"><\/span>Examples<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are a few examples to understand how possessive suffixes work in real-life sentences:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Bizim odam\u0131zda kocaman bir ar\u0131 var.<\/strong> <em>(There is a huge bee in our room.)<\/em>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Here, the suffix <strong>-\u0131m\u0131z<\/strong> (our) is attached to &#8220;oda&#8221; (room) to show possession and is followed by the locative case -da to express &#8220;in&#8221;.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sizin telefonunuz Samsung mu, iPhone mu?<\/strong> <em>(Is your phone a Samsung or an iPhone?)<\/em>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The suffix <strong>-unuz<\/strong> (your, formal\/plural) is attached to &#8220;telefon&#8221; (phone).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Onlar\u0131n \u00f6\u011fretmenleri \u00e7ok ba\u015far\u0131l\u0131.<\/strong> <em>(Their teacher is very successful.)<\/em>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The suffix <strong>-leri<\/strong> (their) is attached to &#8220;\u00f6\u011fretmen&#8221; (teacher).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Benim k\u00f6pe\u011fim \u00e7ok ak\u0131ll\u0131.<\/strong> <em>(My dog is very smart.)<\/em>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>When adding the possessive suffix <strong>&#8220;-im&#8221;<\/strong> (my) to &#8220;k\u00f6pek&#8221;, the final consonant <strong>&#8220;k&#8221;<\/strong> changes to <strong>&#8220;\u011f&#8221;<\/strong> due to consonant harmony.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Karn\u0131n a\u011fr\u0131yor mu?<\/strong> (Is your stomach painful?)\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>When adding the possessive suffix <strong>&#8220;-\u0131n&#8221;<\/strong> (your), the vowel <strong>&#8220;\u0131&#8221;<\/strong> in the middle drops to make the word easier to pronounce.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<a href=\"https:\/\/turkishfluent.com\/blog\/how-to-express-possession-in-turkish\/\" rel=\"bookmark\" title=\"Permalink to How to Express Possession in Turkish?\"><p>How to express possession in Turkish?
