📌 Turkish Noun Suffix Formula
Example: ev (house) + -ler (plural) + -imiz (our) + -den (from) + -di (past) = evlerimizdendi (it was from our houses).
⚡ Turkish Verb Suffix Formula
Example: yap (do) + -ama (cannot) + -y- (buffer) + -acak (future) + -ız (we) = yapamayacağız (we will not be able to do).
