As a preposition, من attaches to the following word's meaning rather than appearing as a separate Turkish word—it is expressed through Turkish case suffixes. The choice between -dan/-den and -tan/-ten follows Turkish vowel harmony. When من functions as an interrogative pronoun (kim, kimi), it asks about persons, not things.
