The suffix -(y)En can be used for relativizing:


<ol>
	<li>The subject of the relativized verb (which you've already seen)</li>
 <li>The possessor of a genitive-possesive constituent</li>
	<li>The possessed of a genitive-possesive constituent</li>
</ol>


	An example of a genitive-possesive constituent is Evin kapısı,
	where ev is the possessor and kapı is the possessed part of the constituent.
	You can see this because ev has a genetive case suffix, whereas kapı has a possessive case suffix.



	In the table below, the possessor of a genitive-possesive constituent is relativized.


<table class="ui fixed celled table">
 <thead>
 <tr>
 <th>Full sentence</th>
 <th>Relativized version</th>
 </tr>
 </thead>
 <tbody>
		<tr>
			<td>Kamil'in annesi öldü. Kamil's mother died.</td>
			<td>Annesi ölen Kamil Kamil whose mother died</td>
		</tr>
		<tr>
			<td>Evin kapısı kırıldı. The door of the house is broken.</td>
			<td>Kapısı kırılan ev The house whose door is broken</td>
		</tr>
 </tbody>
</table>


	As you can see above, when relativizing the possessor of a genitive-possesive phrase,
	you remove the genitive case suffix from the possessor and you move the possessor to the end of the clause.
	The posessed part of the genitive-possesive constituent doesn't change,
	and the verb is placed after it, receiving the relativizing suffix -(y)En.



	In the table below, the possessed part of a genitive-possesive constituent is relativized.


<table class="ui fixed celled table">
 <thead>
 <tr>
 <th>Full sentence</th>
 <th>Relativized version</th>
 </tr>
 </thead>
 <tbody>
		<tr>
			<td>Can'ın ayağı çatladı. Can's foot is fractured.</td>
			<td>Can'ın çatlayan ayağı Can's fractured foot</td>
		</tr>
		<tr>
			<td>Telefonunuzun kılıfı pahalıymış. Your phone's case is expensive (apparently).</td>
			<td>Telefonunuzun pahalı olan kılıfı Your phone's case which is expensive</td>
		</tr>
 </tbody>
</table>


	As you can see above, when relativizing the possessed part of a genitive-possesive phrase,
	you move the possessed part to the end of the clause, and the verb receives the relativizing suffix -(y)En.
