- X-[y]-i → the X (object)
- X-[y]-e → to the X
- X-de → at the X
- X-den → from the X
- X-[n]-in → of the X
This works for all simple nouns, like ev, araba, pencere, masa etc.
But if your X is a compound noun, in the format of " Q-in Z-[s]-i " or " Q Z-[s]-i " (which are: the Z of the Q, and, the Q Z, respectively), then there is a small change. First of all those [y]s become "n", and also you add an "n" before -de and -den.
The word "havalimanı" looks like one word, but it's actually a hidden genitive.: "hava" (air) and "liman" (port) came together and formed: hava limanı. If you look closely, this is under the Q Z-[s]-i format. (Q = hava; Z = liman)
- Havalimanı-[n]-ı → the airport (object)
- Havalimanı-[n]-a → to the airport
- Havalimanı-[n]-da → at the airport
- Havalimanı-[n]-dan → from the airport
- Havalimanı-[n]-ın → of the airport
So that's how we get "havalimanının".
Next: we want to combine "havalimanının" and "kuzey", and we get
"havalimanının kuzeyi" (now the format is: "Q-[n]-in Z-[s]-i", where Q = havalimanı and Z = kuzey). So again, let's define this:
- Havalimanının kuzeyi-[n]-i → the north of the airport (object)
- Havalimanının kuzeyi-[n]-e → to the north of the airport
- Havalimanının kuzeyi-[n]-de → in the north of the aiport
"Evim" = my house, "evde" = at home (house), "evdeyim" = I am at home/I am in the house, "bir evdeyim" = I am in a house.
