Sorry if I annoyed you, but I just can't help myself. I'm in love with Turkish and have determined to devote myself to it and I think you guys are just the best.:heart::heart::heart:
Merhaba Hamed,
Turkish is a language of suffixes. Let's revise your answer accordingly:
Köfteye bayılırım.
Here, -e,-a is called Noun Case "-e" in Turkish. This signifies movement to or toward to the noun itself. "Y" is a buffer letter.
Kolay gelsin! ( Take it easy)

Evet, köfte bayılırım.
