- This t does not soften. Unlike kitap → kitabı, şirket keeps its t: şirketi, şirkete (not
*şirkedi). Loanwords and some native words are exceptions to the softening rule, so learn them as you meet them. Rule → - Locative with t, not d. After a voiceless consonant the locative and ablative start with t: şirkette, şirketten (not
*şirketde). Rule → - Two meanings of şirketin. şirketin is both "of the company" (genitive) and "your company" (possessive). şirketi is likewise both the object form and "his/her company". Rule →
