Turkish Nouns with All Cases Flashcards: 43 Everyday Nouns

Learning a Turkish noun really means learning seven words: the dictionary form plus six case forms. This deck gives you all of them on the back of each card, so every review also drills the sound rules: kitap becomes kitabı and kitaba (p softens to b), şehir becomes şehre (the i drops), kapı takes a buffer y in kapıyı, and saat takes front-vowel endings because it is a loanword.

The nouns were chosen to cover every pattern you meet at A1: consonant and vowel endings, front and back vowels, softening and non-softening words (çocuğu but sokakta), vowel drop, and the irregular su → suyu. Each example sentence uses one of the case forms in a natural context, so you see what the case means as well as how it is built.

Nouns with Cases flashcards: FAQ

How many cases does Turkish have?

Six suffixed cases plus the bare nominative: accusative (-(y)I), dative (-(y)A), locative (-DA), ablative (-DAn), genitive (-(n)In) and instrumental (-(y)lA). Every case suffix follows vowel harmony, and the locative and ablative change d to t after a voiceless consonant.

Why does kitap become kitabı but top stays topu?

Most nouns of two or more syllables ending in p, ç, t or k soften that consonant before a vowel (kitabı, ağacı, çocuğu). Most one-syllable nouns do not (topu, saçı, süte), with a set of common exceptions such as renk → rengi and kalp → kalbi.

How do I study the Nouns with Cases flashcards?

Press the card (or Space) to see the answer, then choose Know or Again. Known cards move up through five Leitner boxes and come back after 1, 3, 7 and 21 days; missed cards return to box 1 and reappear a few cards later.
