Değişim names a change or a process of transformation. You will describe a team adapting to change and a neighbourhood changing over time, choosing endings for the role of the noun.
The idea
The stem stays değişim: değişimi, değişime, değişimde, değişimden. There is no consonant softening. Use değişimler for distinct changes. Possession adds another ending: değişimim is my change, değişimimiz our change. In mahallenin değişimi, the neighbourhood is what undergoes the change; when this whole phrase is an object, it becomes mahallenin değişimini.

Watch out
The last m in değişim is part of the stem, not a possessive ending: “my change” needs değişimim. Also distinguish the noun from değiştim, “I changed”; a noun alone does not state a past action.
Try it yourself
Complete with değişim: Everyone noticed this change.
Show answer or example answer
değişimi
değişimi: bu identifies the particular change that everyone noticed, so the object takes -i; no possessor is expressed here.

Show answer or example answer
değişime
değişime: hazır describes readiness for something. The team is ready for this change, which therefore takes the dative ending -e.
Use the plural of değişim: The recent changes are clearly visible in the report.
Show answer or example answer
değişimler
değişimler: the prompt asks for several recent changes. They are the subject of görülüyor, so add the plural ending without an object ending.
Complete with değişim: Old photos show the neighbourhood’s transformation.
Show answer or example answer
değişimini
değişimini: mahallenin links the change to the neighbourhood. Keep possessive -i, then add -n-i because the photos show that change as their object.
