Pronouns: Declined Forms — Turkish Grammar

Turkish personal pronouns take case suffixes just like nouns. Their genitive forms (, , etc.) are especially common because they express possession — my, your, his — and are used alongside possessive suffixes on the noun.

Genitive (Possessive) Forms

— my
— your
— his / her / its
— our
— your (plural/polite)

The same pronouns also decline for accusative, dative, locative, and ablative:

Beni bekle.
Wait for me. (accusative)
Bana ver.
Give it to me. (dative)
Sende var mı?
Do you have it? (locative)
Ondan korkuyorum.
I am afraid of him/her. (ablative)

Note that and have irregular dative forms: and (not *bene, *sene).
