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

|---|---|---|
| Accusative (object) | Nesrin'i | Nesrin'i tanıyor musun? Do you know Nesrin? |
