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

|---|---|---|
| Accusative (object) | Hasan'ı | Hasan'ı tanıyor musun? Do you know Hasan? |
| Dative (to) | Hasan'a | Hasan'a bir mesaj yazdım. I wrote a message to Hasan. |
| Locative (at / with) | Hasan'da | Anahtarlar Hasan'da. Hasan has the keys. (lit. The keys are at Hasan.) |
