To and from We have already seen the suffıx used for expressing the location of an object whether it s in, on or at something else: de. This suffix indicates that there is no movement and that the object stays at its location. e sufix which follows e-type vowel harmony indicates movement towards another location and is equivalent to the English to. If the noun ends with a vowel then the buffer y needs to be used. den sufix which follows e-type vowel harmony aswell indicates movement away from a location and is equivalent to the English from.
