In Turkish the personal pronouns are two categories:
(1) Stand-alone Pronouns Ben gidiyorum. I am going.
(2) Pronouns in suffix form. Gidiyorum. [gidiyor-um] I am going.
The stand-alone personal pronouns are not used widely as the person is evident from the personal verb ending. They are used for emphasis only in their simple form as the verb form itself already points to the person. This is similar to Spanish where a person will say "comprendo" I understand instead of "Yo comprendo" I understand. Stand-alone are used in their extended forms bende - on me , sizin - of you, bizden - from us when suffixes to, from, with, etc. are added to them.
