Beren with Turkish suffixes
Turkish adds case endings where English uses prepositions. With a personal name the ending is separated by anapostrophe (Beren'e, Beren'in), 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 Beren is e, a front unrounded vowel. So two-way suffixes take e and four-way suffixes takei (vowel harmony):Beren'de, Beren'i.
Because Beren ends in a consonant, vowel-initial endings attach directly (Beren'i, Beren'e) with no buffer letter.
| Case | Form | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Accusative (object) | Beren'i | Beren'i tanıyor musun? Do you know Beren? |
| Dative (to) | Beren'e | Beren'e bir mesaj yazdım. I wrote a message to Beren. |
| Locative (at / with) | Beren'de | Anahtarlar Beren'de. Beren has the keys. (lit. The keys are at Beren.) |
| Ablative (from) | Beren'den | Beren'den bir hediye aldım. I got a present from Beren. |
| Genitive (’s) | Beren'in | Bu Beren'in çantası. This is Beren’s bag. |
| Instrumental (with) | Beren'le | Dün Beren'le konuştum. I talked with Beren yesterday. |
