Turkish

<p>
        We can use two nouns to construct a new noun by attaching the possession suffix <strong>(s)İ</strong> to the second noun:
    </p>

    <table class="ui fixed celled table">
        <tbody><tr>
            <td>handbag</td>
            <td>el çanta<strong>sı</strong></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td>backpack</td>
            <td>sırt çanta<strong>sı</strong></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td>cellphone</td>
            <td>cep telefon<strong>u</strong></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td>apple trees</td>
            <td>elma ağaçlar<strong>ı</strong></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td>ankle</td>
            <td>ayak bileğ<strong>i</strong></td>
        </tr>
	    <tr>
            <td>wrist</td>
            <td>el bileğ<strong>i</strong></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td>toe</td>
            <td>ayak parmağ<strong>ı</strong></td>
        </tr>
    </tbody></table>

    <p>
        If we use possession suffixes in combination with compound nouns, the suffix of the compound noun disappears:
    </p>

    <table class="ui fixed celled table">
        <tbody><tr>
            <td>my handbag</td>
            <td>el çanta<strong>m</strong></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td>your backpack</td>
            <td>sırt çanta<strong>n</strong></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td>my father's cellphone</td>
            <td>babamın cep telefon<strong>u</strong></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td>our apple trees</td>
            <td>elma ağaçlar<strong>ımız</strong></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td>Whose ankle?</td>
            <td>Kimin ayak bileğ<strong>i</strong>?</td>
        </tr>
    </tbody></table>

    <p>
        In the word <strong>babamın</strong> the possession suffix <strong>m</strong>, denoting that it is my father, is followed by the genitive suffix <strong>ın</strong> indicating that he in turn possesses the phone.
