Introduction
Possession in the Turkish language is used in various manners ranging from possession of objects to possession of actions. An example similar in English would be, "'my' cat", and "the move that we 'have' seen". While in English they may not be called possession they do look similar to possession and they do use possessive pronouns in Turkish.

Step 3
If the word now doesn't end in a vowel, add the following suffixes (while changing the vowels as per the vowel pair rules) and proceed to step 4.

If you would like to add any further suffixes (except the "verb to be") you will need to add an 'n' since what you just added is a pronoun and pronoun vowels generally need to be followed by an "n".
