Order of Suffixes - Merhaba

Is there an order for attaching suffixes to the ends of words? Also, does the suffix take the harmony of the suffix before it or of the word:
Example:
Top (cannon) - Toplar (cannons) - But is it Toplarım or Toplarum (my cannons)

Please correct me if I'm wrong

Teşekkür ederim

- Vowels must be in harmony with the preceding vowel. I assume you know the major & minor vowel harmonies.I cant say anything about the suffix order, we have hundreds of suffixes.

ToplarIm is correct. After -a- must be followed by a or I according to the both harmony rules and -Im is the possesive suffix.

Kolay gelsin

- khan, you're obviously so talented. but as an unskilful language-learner i recommend you to ignore some rules until you feel you DO need to reach perfection. cause an average native speaker will easily understand your turkish. and you'll get better in the course of time. i'm learning russian myself and i keep being told the same.

kolay gelsin :)
