Talking about Professions:
To say [I am / You are
etc. + profession] in Turkish, we need to add one of the following suffixes
after the profession:
The –[y] is a buffer letter that we have to
add in case the profession ends in a vowel, like in “oyuncu”: oyuncuyum [=
I am an actor; I am an actress]
Another word for “actor”

Ben aktörüm [= I am an
