Pronouns
“He” or “she” and “it” are all the same pronoun in Turkish.
There are however two different pronouns for the word
“you”. If speaking to one person on friendly terms you
can use “sen”, and when speaking to several people or
someone you do not know well better to use “siz”. As a
new learner you can use “sen”, instead of the formal “siz”.
Ben means “I”, beni means “me”, benim means “mine”,
bana means “to me”, bende means “with me”, benden
means “from me”.
Sen means “you” in singular and informal sense, seni,
senin, sana, sende senden
O, means “he, she, it”, onu, onun, ona, onda, ondan
Biz, means “we”, bizi, bizim, bize, bizde, bizden
Siz, means “you” (plural) or formal singular “you”, sizi,
bizin, size, sizde, sizden
Onlar, means “they”, onlari, onlarin, onlara, onlarda,
onlardan.
Adjectives
Adjectives come before nouns and the verb comes at the
end. Daha is the word for “more”, and en is the word for
“most”. Example: “a new car” yeni araba, “a newer car”
daha yeni araba, “a newest car” en yeni araba.
“my”, “your” etc. are expressed by the ending. Note that
“their” form is the same as for “his, her, and its”
