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