Hanzade with Turkish suffixes
Turkish adds case endings where English uses prepositions. With a personal name the ending is separated by anapostrophe (Hanzade'ye, Hanzade'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 Hanzade is e, a front unrounded vowel. So two-way suffixes take e and four-way suffixes takei (vowel harmony):Hanzade'de, Hanzade'yi.
Because Hanzade ends in a vowel, a buffer letter keeps two vowels apart:y in Hanzade'yi, Hanzade'ye and Hanzade'yle, and n in the genitive Hanzade'nin.
