Sezer with Turkish suffixes
Turkish adds case endings where English uses prepositions. With a personal name the ending is separated by anapostrophe (Sezer'e, Sezer'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 Sezer is e, a front unrounded vowel. So two-way suffixes take e and four-way suffixes takei (vowel harmony):Sezer'de, Sezer'i.
Because Sezer ends in a consonant, vowel-initial endings attach directly (Sezer'i, Sezer'e) with no buffer letter.
| Case | Form | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Accusative (object) | Sezer'i | Sezer'i tanıyor musun? Do you know Sezer? |
| Dative (to) | Sezer'e | Sezer'e bir mesaj yazdım. I wrote a message to Sezer. |
| Locative (at / with) | Sezer'de | Anahtarlar Sezer'de. Sezer has the keys. (lit. The keys are at Sezer.) |
