Lesson6-Section2

In Turkish, the suffix changes slightly depending on who you’re talking about (I, you, he/she/it). Here’s the breakdown with the example “Londralı” (from London):

1. Ben Londralıyım (I am from London)
– The suffix “-lıyım” is used here, where “-yım” indicates “I am.”

2. Sen Londralısın (You are from London)
– The suffix changes to “-lısın” where “-sın” means “you are.”

3. O Londralı (He/She/It is from London)
– Here, only “-lı” is used without any additional suffix. This form simply indicates that the third person (he, she, it) is from London.

Summary:
– -lıyım → “I am” (ben)
– -lısın → “You are” (sen)
– -lı → “He/She/It is” (o)

These personal endings are added to the main suffix “-lı” to show who is being described.

1.

2. Sen nerelisin? (Where are you from?)
Ben New Yorkluyum. (I am from New York)
O nereli? (Where is he/she from?)
O New Yorklu. (He/She is from New York)

3. Sen nerelisin? (Where are you from?)
Ben Berlinliyim. (I am from Berlin)
O nereli? (Where is he/she from?)
O Berlinli. (He/She is from Berlin)

4. Sen nerelisin? (Where are you from?)
Ben Ürdünlüyüm. (I am from Jordan)
O nereli? (Where is he/she from?)
O Ürdünlü. (He/She is from Jordan)

Each sentence changes based on the final vowel in the city name, following Turkish vowel harmony.
