Questions & Answers about İltifatın cidden çok güzeldi.

What does iltifatın mean here?

Here, iltifatın means your compliment.

The base noun is iltifat = compliment.
The ending -ın shows your in the singular informal sense.

So:

• iltifat = compliment
• iltifatın = your compliment

In this sentence, it is the thing being described as very nice.

Why does iltifat take the ending -ın?

The ending -ın is the 2nd person singular possessive suffix, meaning your.

Turkish often expresses possession by adding a suffix directly to the noun instead of using a separate word like your.

So:

• ev = house
• evin = your house
• iltifat = compliment

The exact shape of the suffix changes by vowel harmony, so it can be -ın, -in, -un, -ün depending on the word.
