"The women's dogs"

Translation: Kadınların köpekleri

[hayriddino]

Kadının köpekleri

[Jackulingo]

it's plural : "womEN"

[Crossmount]

When the ' is used in the possessive case?

[Yomalyn]

Only with proper nouns (names of people, places, businesses, etc). Duo'nun köpekleri.
İstanbul'un köpekleri.

And it's the genitive case, by the way :-)

[miavanni]

why does the possesive goes to the women and not the dog which is possesed? i don t get it

[mizinamo]

Both of them get marked:

kadın-lar-ın köpek-ler-i

women-plural-genitive dog-plural-possessed

very literally "womens' their-dogs"

[oedipusface]

THIS WAS SO HELPFUL

[travel.linguist]

Is the possession suffix like the accusative ending?

[mizinamo]

Is the possession suffix like the accusative ending?

The possession suffix for third person singular (his/her/its) does look like the accusative ending if the word ends in a consonant.

When the word ends in a vowel, though, you can see a difference: anne "mother", for example, turns into anneyi in the accusative case but into annesi when it's possessed.

[Sarah.ceka]

Kadınların jane ne numrin shumes

[schwenjd]

How do you know when to change the last "k" in kopek to a "ğ"?

[mizinamo]

When a vowel follows.

For example, köpeği (possessed form), köpeği (accusative case), köpeğe (dative case).

[___Iylie]

Can't I use kadınların köpekleriz?

[mizinamo]

No -- köpekleriz would be our dogs, and doesn't fit with a possessor of "the women's".

[oummahmoud1]

I get confused about translating this sentence" the women's dogs"
Why" kadınların köpekleri" and not
kadınların köpeklerden?

[Martin562178]

Is it köpekleri instead of köpekler to show posession? What would 'kadınların köpekler' mean? Thanks in advance :)

[mizinamo]

Is it köpekleri instead of köpekler to show posession?

That's right.

What would 'kadınların köpekler' mean?

"Your women are dogs."
