=====Possession=====
As noted earlier, the suffixes of possession give the [[Grammatical person|person]] (and number) of the ''possessor'' of what is named by the noun:
{| class="wikitable" style="min-width: 35%;"
|+ Suffixes of Possession (''iyelik ekleri'')
|-
! !! 1st !! 2nd !! 3rd
|-
! singular
| ''-(i)m'' || ''-(i)n'' ||  ''-(s)i''
|-
! plural
| ''-(i)miz'' || ''-(i)niz'' || ''-leri''
|}
When a word takes one of the endings of possession, the word becomes the name of something ''possessed'', not possessing. The word for the possessor, if present, takes the genitive case ending.
{| class="wikitable"
|+ Examples with ''teyze'' ("maternal aunt")
|-
! Example !! Composition !! Translation
|-
| ''teyzen'' || ''teyze'' "maternal aunt" + ''-n'' "belonging to you (singular)" || "your maternal aunt"
|-
| ''teyzeniz'' || ''teyze'' "maternal aunt" + ''-niz'' "belonging to you (plural)" || "your maternal aunt"
|-
| ''teyzelerin'' || ''teyze'' "maternal aunt" + ''-ler-'' (plural suffix) + ''-in'' "belonging to you (singular)" || "your maternal aunts"
|-
| ''teyzeleriniz'' || ''teyze'' "maternal aunt" + ''-ler-'' (plural suffix) + ''-iniz'' "belonging to you (plural)" || "your maternal aunts"
|}
The plural ending will not be attached twice to the same word; therefore ambiguity is possible:
:{|
|-
| ''fikir'' || "idea"
|-
| ''fikirleri'' || "their idea" or "their ideas" or "his/her ideas"
|}
Ambiguity can be resolved with [[#Pronouns|pronouns]].
