Use bütçe to discuss a project’s spending plan or available funds. You will distinguish the budget itself, money allocated to it and the budget belonging to a particular project.
The idea
The stem bütçe stays intact: bütçeyi, bütçeye, bütçede, bütçeden, bütçenin. Its final e determines the suffix vowel. Learn the useful contrast bütçeye (to the budget) and projenin bütçesine (to the project’s budget): the latter keeps the possessive -si and adds -ne. The plural is bütçeler; our budgets are bütçelerimiz.

Watch out
Do not carry the y of bütçeye over to bütçesi: the form meaning “to its budget” is bütçesine. Also, the internal ç does not soften; the stem ends in a vowel, so write bütçeyi with the stem unchanged.
Try it yourself
Complete with bütçe: Tomorrow we will discuss this particular budget.
Show answer or example answer
bütçeyi
bütçeyi: bu identifies the particular budget being discussed, so the object of görüşmek takes the accusative; y separates the two vowels.
Complete with bütçe: We added a new expense to the budget. Do not add a possessive suffix.
Show answer or example answer
bütçeye
bütçeye: with eklemek, the thing receiving an addition takes the dative. The prompt names no owner, so there is no possessive suffix.
Complete with bütçe: We added transport costs to the exhibition’s budget. Keep the possession.
Show answer or example answer
bütçesine
bütçesine: serginin identifies the owner. Keep bütçesi, then add the dative with n to show where the transport costs are added.
Use the plural of bütçe with “our”: Our budgets are different.
Show answer or example answer
bütçelerimiz
bütçelerimiz: bizim calls for “our”, and the prompt specifies several budgets. Put -ler before -imiz; no case ending is needed for the subject.
