We can use two nouns to construct a new noun by attaching the possession suffix (s)İ to the second noun:
| handbag | el çantası |
| backpack | sırt çantası |
| cellphone | cep telefonu |
| apple trees | elma ağaçları |
| ankle | ayak bileği |
| wrist | el bileği |
| toe | ayak parmağı |
If we use possession suffixes in combination with compound nouns, the suffix of the compound noun disappears:
| my handbag | el çantam |
| your backpack | sırt çantan |
| my father's cellphone | babamın cep telefonu |
| our apple trees | elma ağaçlarımız |
| Whose ankle? | Kimin ayak bileği? |
In the word babamın the possession suffix m, denoting that it is my father, is followed by the genitive suffix ın indicating that he in turn possesses the phone.
