Lesson 2

Baris · 01-14-2005, 09:27 AM

my, your, his/her, our, your, their

possessive pronouns:

araba= car

arabam= my car
araban= your car
arabası= her/his car
arabamız= our car
arabanız= your car
arabaları= their car

In Turkish, we also have possessive pronouns that we may sometimes use separately (I mean not as endings) :

Benim = my (can also mean mine)
Senin = your (yours)
Onun = his/her (his/hers)
Bizim = our (ours)
Sizin = your (yours)
Onların = their (theirs)

Welcome back senni ,
i hope you had a nice vacation

and yeah , that sentence was scary :O , i was one second away from closing the window hehe ...

is there any rule for using the other listed possessive pronouns , or u just use them without any rule ? and are they more formal or something , or formality has nothing to do with using them ???

many thanx

hi nani,

indeed formality has nothing to do with all this.
There is a rule I'll tell you later about it.
But what u can do for the moment is just follow the examples which speak for themselves, don't they?

good luck!

Hmmm, I already know about benim, but not the others!! Weird hein??

Anyway, I did the homework

Here is the result :

para= money

Param
Paran
Parasi
Paramiz
Paraniz
Paralari

koca= husband

Kocam
Kocan
Kocasi
Kocamiz
Kocaniz
Kocalari

karı= wife

Karim
Karin
Karisi
Karimiz
Kariniz
karilari

Hey, let you know that I don't have that little "i" of yours without the "dot", so am using the one I have in my keyboard
