Beril with Turkish suffixes
Turkish adds case endings where English uses prepositions. With a personal name the ending is separated by anapostrophe (Beril'e, Beril'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 Beril is i, a front unrounded vowel. So two-way suffixes take e and four-way suffixes takei (vowel harmony):Beril'de, Beril'i.
Because Beril ends in a consonant, vowel-initial endings attach directly (Beril'i, Beril'e) with no buffer letter.
| Case | Form | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Accusative (object) | Beril'i | Beril'i tanıyor musun? Do you know Beril? |
| Dative (to) | Beril'e | Beril'e bir mesaj yazdım. I wrote a message to Beril. |
