Emine with Turkish suffixes

Turkish adds case endings where English uses prepositions. With a personal name the ending is separated by anapostrophe (Emine'ye, Emine'nin), 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 Emine is e, a front unrounded vowel. So two-way suffixes take e and four-way suffixes takei (vowel harmony):Emine'de, Emine'yi.

Because Emine ends in a vowel, a buffer letter keeps two vowels apart:y in Emine'yi, Emine'ye and Emine'yle, and n in the genitive Emine'nin.
