Page "Turkish copula" Paragraph 4

# From a noun or adjective, a complete sentence is formed by addition of one of the enclitic personal suffixes :-im " I am ",-sin " thou art ",-iz " we are ",-siniz " you are ".

( These are enclitic and exhibit vowel harmony.

" These can be considered as instances of nonverbal person agreement, owing to the different negation compared to verbs.

The personal suffixes are, in origin, personal pronouns VIII, 3 in both editions.
