📌 POSSESSIVE FORMS – person by person

1st person sg. 📱 telefonum ➡️ my phone (telefon + ‑um → because last vowel is o → -um)
2nd person sg. 🚗 araban ➡️ your car (araba + ‑n → after vowel just -n ; general rule for ‑ın/‑in, but here araba → araban)
1st person sg. ✏️ kalemim ➡️ my pencil (kalem + ‑im → last vowel e → -im)
2nd person sg. 🏠 evin ➡️ your house (ev + ‑in → last vowel e → -in)
1st person sg. 👁️ gözüm ➡️ my eye (göz + ‑üm → last vowel ö → -üm)
2nd person sg. 📓 defterin ➡️ your notebook (defter + ‑in → last vowel e → -in)
1st person sg. 👗 elbisem ➡️ my dress (elbise + ‑m → after vowel, just -m ; buffer ‑s‑? Actually elbise → elbisem: drop final e and add ‑m? Standard: elbise -> elbisem ( ‑s‑ is part of stem, -m added, vowel harmony → elbise ends with e, so possessive is elbise + m = elbisem, yes.)

senin (your, informal): add -ın, -in, -un, -ün (or just -n after a vowel, like araban).
