Fidan with Turkish suffixes
Turkish adds case endings where English uses prepositions. With a personal name the ending is separated by anapostrophe (Fidan'a, Fidan'ın), 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 Fidan is a, a back unrounded vowel. So two-way suffixes take a and four-way suffixes takeı (vowel harmony):Fidan'da, Fidan'ı.
Because Fidan ends in a consonant, vowel-initial endings attach directly (Fidan'ı, Fidan'a) with no buffer letter.
