Turkish[edit]
Etymology 1[edit]
From Ottoman Turkish ـی (-ï, “accusative case marker”), itself from either Common Turkic *-g, *-ïg (“accusative case marker”) or simplified from Common Turkic *-nï (“accusative case marker”) to suit where oblique case is unnecessary for the accusative case, since the oblique case *-n- is not productive by itself and requires other cases. Compare Old Turkic 𐰍 (ǧ /-(ï)ɣ/), 𐰃𐰍 (iǧ /-ïɣ/).
Suffix[edit]
-ı
Usage notes[edit]
- It becomes -yı if the word ends with a vowel.
- It becomes -nı when preceded by third person singular possessive suffix -ı.

-ı
- 3rd person singular possessive suffix
Usage notes[edit]
- Although it is believed to become -sı when the word ends with a vowel, this suffix probably comes from a different root.
