Bengü with Turkish suffixes

Turkish adds case endings where English uses prepositions. With a personal name the ending is separated by anapostrophe (Bengü'ye, Bengü'nün), but it is still pronounced as one word. The apostrophe only marks where the name ends; the suffix itself follows the usual rules.

The last vowel of Bengü is ü, a front rounded vowel. So two-way suffixes take e and four-way suffixes takeü (vowel harmony):Bengü'de, Bengü'yü.

Because Bengü ends in a vowel, a buffer letter keeps two vowels apart:y in Bengü'yü, Bengü'ye and Bengü'yle, and n in the genitive Bengü'nün.
