Feride with Turkish suffixes

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

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