<p>
	The word <strong>hakkında</strong> means <strong>about, on (a subject)</strong>.
	We use this word after the actual subject since Turkish has postpositions:
</p>

<table class="ui celled table">
    <tbody>
        <tr>
			<td>Seks <strong>hakkında</strong></td>
            <td>About sex</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
			<td>Öğrenciler <strong>hakkında</strong></td>
            <td>About the students</td>
        </tr>
		  <tr>
			<td>Kamil <strong>hakkında</strong></td>
            <td>About Kamil</td>
        </tr>
    </tbody>
</table>
<p>
	When <strong>hakkında</strong> is used with personal pronouns, it is conjugated accordingly with the pronoun. Let's see:
</p>
<table class="ui fixed celled definition table">
    <thead>
        <tr>
            <th>hakkında</th>
            <th>Single</th>
            <th>Plural</th>
        </tr>
    </thead>
    <tbody>
        <tr>
            <td>First person</td>
			<td><strong>benim</strong> hakkı<strong>m</strong>da</td>
			<td><strong>bizim</strong> hakkı<strong>mız</strong>da</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td>Second person</td>
			<td><strong>senin</strong> hakkı<strong>n</strong>da</td>
			<td><strong>sizin</strong> hakkı<strong>nız</strong>da</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td>Third person</td>
			<td><strong>onun</strong> hakkında</td>
			<td><strong>onların</strong>/<strong>onlar</strong><sup>1</sup> hakkında</td>
        </tr>
    </tbody>
</table>
<p><sup>1</sup>One exception is the third person plural pronoun. In many cases, including 'hakkında', native speakers just drop the genitive marker, as if it's a proper noun.
	You will see other examples of this in following lessons.</p>
