Sınıfım kitabı
Or would one say
Sınıfın kitabı?
Thanks!
No, "sınıfım kitabı" is wrong. Here are some alternative expressions depending on what you might want to say:
Sınıfın kitabı = the book of the class
Sınıf kitabı = the book of a class
Sınıfımın kitabı = the book of my class
Be careful! "-m" is the suffix which means "my". Here are some examples:
para = money param = my money
halı = carpet halım = my carpet
kedi = cat kedim = my cat
If you have noticed, all these three examples above end in a vowel and the suffix is "-m". When a noun ends in a consonant, the suffix changes like the examples below:
ev = house evim = my house
saç = hair saçım = my hair
okul = school okulum = my school
düğün = wedding düğünüm = my wedding
