Personal endings(-im(I),-sin(you/singular),-dir(he,she,it),-iz(we),-siniz(you/plural),-ler(they) which stand for (Be) and (NP subject) in Turkish are attached to nouns and adjectives as the following examples:Ben ÅŽÄŸretmenim /ben É™ÊŠretmenÄ±m/ ((- im) attached to noun)I + teacher +personal suffix stands for Be (-im) (I am ateacher)BenHastay×€m /ben hÃ¦stÃ¦jÉ™m/ ((- m) attached to adjective)I + sick+(y) buffer sound between two vowels+personal suffix stands for Be(-im) (I am sick) Ben (I) in both examples could be omitted without changing the meaning because of the personal endings as follows: ÅŽÄŸretmenim / É™ÊŠretmenÄ±m/ teacher +personal suffix (-im) stands for Be and the subject (I am a teacher) The personal endings stated above are attached to the word &quot;deÄŸil&quot; /deÉ£Ä±l/(not) to make the present tense &quot;Be&quot; negative as the following example: Ben hasta deÄŸilim/ben hÃ¦stÃ¦ deÉ£Ä±lÄ±m/ I +sick +negative morpheme (deÄŸil)+personal suffix stands for Be (-im) (I am not sick.)
