1. Produce 1: Welcome to a compressive course on Turkish verbs. I'm Hussm and I'm excited to guide you through the fascinating word of Turkish verbs structure and conjugation. Turkish verbs are the backpone of the language. Mastering them is crucial for effective communication. Unlike many European languages, Turkish uses agination, where suffixes are added to verbs to change their meaning and function. This unique feature makes Turkish both challenging and rewarding to learn. By ad of this case, you'll be able to understand the basic structure of Turkish verbs, conjugate the verbs in various tenses and moods. Use common verbs patterns in everyday causations, recognize and apply verbal suffixes correctly. To help you practice car fosiel learning. Accurate a series of exercise videos, these videos or different aspects of Turkish verbs and provide hands of practice opportunities. I recommend watching on, exercise videos after it main lesson and spend at least 30 minutes daily on practice. Remember, consistent practice is key to massing Turkish verbs. Let's embark on this exciting journey together. Let's start. 2. Infinitive: Turkish verbs, infinitive. The infinitive in Turkish is totally simple. The words ending in Mc or Muck or infinite, actually, Mc or Muck or infinite suffixes. Not all the words ending in Mc or Muck or infinitive, but whenever there are suffixes to the root, they make infinitive four. Anyway, let's check some infinitives in Turkish. For example, match means to eat. Orch Much means to be afraid of of fe. D Mac means to say Lamach means to understand. O Kumas to read But the one which is more important than infinitive in Turkish is the s. The root is drivable so easily. You just need to mi Mc or Mc from the end of the infinitive. Then you drive the root and you can use it in order to conjugate the verb in ss. L et's check them. For example, YC, as I said, means to eat the root is. You drive it just by omitting mec from the end of YC the same for Much which means to fill to be bred, Cork. D Mc omit M D. Chuck means to. Just omit Mu, then you have s. Also on M which means to underst omit, then you have Ola or the same for Ok Match. Des Omit Much, you have ku and go mat, which means to see. Ds mit mat, then you have go and botch Much, which means to watch, dos mit Much. Then you have buck. According to this, you can obtain in root from all the infinitives in Turkish. As you see, all of them are regular, and there's no exception in this rule. 3. to be: Turkish verbs. The b to be. In Turkish, the infinitive for the b to be is mach. Omak means to become to be. This verb is placed as a surface after the subject or the object. Here in the stable, you see the conjugation for the simple present tens. For B, which means I, it is or for sin, which means singular is s s, for, which means he or she it or any other third percent singular is D, D or, or B, which means percent plural is or C, includes, Ss, for, They are D D, D, D. Keep in mind that, this conjugation means I am you or he or she is or you or D R. Anyway, which subjects you choose It depends on the previous syllable. If it contains or, then you place the one having. If it contains A or A, then you use the one having E. If it contains, then you pick the one having and then if it contains, you choose the one having. Let's use this erb with an example. For example, the word utu. It's an adjective means happy. Here's how to say, I'm happy. Ben Mutum as you see, you add Ye as full vowels can't be placed just next to each other. So you need to add Ye before the suffix. Ben Mutum happy. Stand Mutu you are happy. The third one, Omo lu or Omoldu. Using the or ne, meaning it is or is is optional in Turkish. I use it whenever you want I stress on the phrase. So it's easy to say Omoto means he or she is happy. This moot same just like Ben Mol. You add before us. Moots, we are happy. This Mt you are happy and on Mutua. Another example, E, which means good, well, or okay. I is how to say I'm okay or I'm fine. Then E Sn OE or O is is is on e t. We chose the one containing E as the last syllable of E contains E two. I read it again and try to repeat after me. In this time, I don't use the personal prom. A. D, easiness, d In this slide, you see the conjugation of negative to be a simple present tense. You need to add the terminals you learn to D, which means not to be as D means I'm not. Bend, I'm not. Send, you are not Ode, you or she is not. I ds, we are not. Since Dlesen is, you all are not. A D. They are not. Let's conjugate it with a word. For example, the car means single. H is how to say, I'm not single in the car d. Listen carefully. B car dm. I'm not single. S car ds. You are not single. Ob car d. You or she is not single. B car ds. We are not single. Car d. You all are not single. Ob car D. They all not single. The same applies for Another word as the conjugation of DL doesn't depend to the previous syllable. For example, order M means teacher, here's how CM teacher in order Mandela. Senor Mendels. You are not teacher. Or Mende. Your she is not teacher. B O Mendes. We are not teacher. Est Mendes. You are not teacher. O or Mende. They are not teacher. I got to conjugate it again. Listen carefully and try to repeat after me, provide that. In this part, I'm not going to use the personal pronouns in my conjugation. Or spend, or amends or aspend or aspends, or aspendss, or spenda 4. Simple present 1: Turkish verbs, simple present. Just like any other verb in Turkish or any other penses in Turkish, you need to derive the root out of the infinity. As you know well, every infinity in Turkish ends with such suffixes, make or mack The root indicates the bar infinitive in Turkish, which is the infinitive without Mc or Mac in Turkish. So let's check some examples. For example, the or the infinitive Mac, which means to swim. The root is or another one, M, which means to go. The root is it, and the same for the other infinitives. In order to you the verbs, according to the subject in Turkish, you need to know some terminals as a spi which are attached to the end of the verb. For first person singular, which in Turkey is B, which means, it is for sen, which means U singular is soon, and there is no present terminal form, which means he or she. Also, for first person, which in B, Suns foss means you all and f on ord, which means they. You're going to learn them in the next slides. In order to conjugative verb in Turkish and simple present tense, you need to know this structure. Root plus cisapix as E plus r plus the before set terminals. But when to add E or E, and what is the rule for that? If the latest syllable or the only syllable of the root, contains or, you need to add. I contains A or E, you need to add E, or if contains or, you need to add and also if it contains or, you need to add. Let's check them in the examples. As I said, you need the root, which is obtained by omitting Mc or Mc from the infinitive. Adding the before set suffixes, then you should add your terminals. For example, the infinitive g Mc, which means to you know how to drive the root out of the infinitive. Gel. This is how to conjugate it. The only cable contains A. You need to add e after gel, and then you add your r and you conjugate it by adding the terminals according to the subject. Listen cheerfully. Ben gor I come. S gon come. O go means he or she or it comes. Sg, we come Goss, you all come on large g. They come. Let's rep it. Listen carefully and try to rep it after I say. Bengio, OG sg, go on large gol. We're going to conjugate with the same structure with the verb his mic, which means to work. The root is chos. The latest syllable contains so you need to add and R. Let's conjugate them according to the subject. Then ch I work. St. Charles has. You work singular You or she or it or any other third person singula walks. This Chorus. We work. This Charles Sonus. You work. Pleura means you all walk. Oh, they work. I go to repeat the congregation again and you need to listen we and repeat after I say. Calm, Chalhs, O Cal, al sus, Chalus on arch. Let's do the same with another infinitive. For example, the infinitive Mc, which means to see root is, you derive it just by omitting Mc from the end of this infinite. L et's clan you gate it, just like what you learn. Listen. Bing Gera I see, say Gerson you see singular, or G you or she sees. This gor we see SG you all see O G. They see. I'm going to conjugate them again, but without the subjective pronouns. As you know, when you conjugate or when you say a verb in Turkish, the terminals indicates the subject of the verb. Whenever you don't need to whenever there is no need to stress on the subject, you can simply omit them from the sentence. Les Gu, G, G. G, G is, G. 5. exercise for present tense: Turkish verb exercises. Try to conjugate each verb in the given tense. Try to conjugate the verb gem, which means to come in simple present tense, like Bengor. Listen to the speaker and try to rep it like her. Then gen Then g your son. Go I gor. Sons g. Now, conjugate the word gum means to see. The same way like Ben Gora. Listen to this picture. Try to repeat like her. Then, Then Corri gor Corrioa. Another word to conjugate in the same way, C has Mack means to work. Try to conjugate it after her. Ben Chh then Chh Chah is hashish on hash. 6. Simple past: Turkish verbs, simple past tense. The simple past tense is so easy and simple in Turkish. This tense is just like simple Pastens in English. It indicates an event done once in past. You know in order to derive the root out of an infinite you just omit. M N Muck. The root is necessary for conjugation of all verbs in Turkish. The structure is easy. You need to add d or d to the root, and then you should add the terminals according to the subject. But but which one to pick four adding to the root as a suffix? When the, or the latest syllable of the root contains or, you need to add it contains A or E, you need to add d. Also if contains or, you need to add d, and if it contains or, you need to add D. You need to know the terminals for this heads. Terminals for each subject is for ben, n for Sen and no terminal for just like any other tense for B, me for c and or on, which means D. What to add and to add. Whenever you have the suffixes or, you need to add Whenever you have or D as a suffix, you need to add. L et's ca you get some verbs in order to learn it better. When repeat the structure, root plus d, do or plus the terminal that I sat in the previous slide. The infinitive mac which means to buy or to catch. The root is The only syllable contains. You need to add the. Let's conjugate them with their respective terminals. Ben I bolt. Send bolt. B he or she bolt. These all look. V bolts. This is Ades, you all both the powerful. A all the. They bot. I going to conjugate them again listen carefully, and try to repeat after me. I conjugate them without the subjective pronouns. Ad Ad A A. Ades. All the lot. Let's trade with another infinitive Gm, which means to laugh. There it is g. The syllable contains, so you need to add after it and conjugated according to the subject. Listen carefully. Bend, I loved. Send you louged, or d you sure loft. B Gu we loved. This dus you loft. O d. They laughed. I going to repeat them again and try to rep it after me. Geld. Gilden. Gilded. Des, d. The next infinitive, the verb M, which means to give. Let's conjugate it in the simple pass form. The root is. The syvo contains A, so you need to add d. Pan verde, I gave an Verde you gave. A di you or she gave verdict. We gave. I Verdne is you all gave large verde. They gave. Let's conjugate it again. Try to rip it off to me. Verde Verde Verdi Verdi Verde is Verdi. In order to learn it better, t to conjugate any other infinite that you know in Turkish and the symbol pasts. 7. exercise for simple past: Exercise b the simple pass tells. Try to conjugate the verb Alma means to take or to buy. In simple pass tees, like Ben I took or I bought. Try to rep it after her. Then, then. These are done and D. Now conjugate the verb met means to loug In simple past tense like Ben Guild, I laughed. Listen carefully and try to repeat. D. The next match means to give. We're going to conjugate it in the sale pastors like I gave. Listen carefully. Os. 8. Simple Present 2: Turkish verbs, simple present two. In the previous lesson, you learn that there is a simple present, which is the simplest one that is made up root plus E, plus r plus present terminals. R in this lesson, we're going to bring up another simple present tense, which indicates the progress in the event, but it's not exactly the present progressive form, which I'm going to teach you in the next lessons. Also, this simple present tense may indicate in near future. Actually, using this, you may indicate that you are going to do something. It is something similar to to equal two in English. Anyway, let's learn how to make it. As I had thought, you need a root which is made simply by omitting mac and mock out of the infinite, and then you have the root. This is the one you need to conjugate for each. The structure is easy. The root plus r or r plus terminals. You know where to add r or R as a suffix. Whenever the last or the only syllable of the root contains y. Then you need to add r and if it contains, you need to add. Before we conjugate the verb, you need to learn the respective t terbinals for such tense. Keep in mind that the first terminal that I say is for R, and the latter one is for r. Listen, for ban, you need or m for Sn, you need sin or S. There is no terminal for third person singular, just like any other. F B, which we, we have or for Cs, we have sins or suns, and for ar, we have ar or ar. As I just said before, the before set terminals are for er and our respectably. L et's conjugate some verbs. The first one, the verb Git M, which means to go. The root is git, draft it just by omitting Mc from the infinitive. According to the structure that we learn, we're going to conjugate it. But before we conjugate, keep in mind that whenever the root get faces a suffix, starting with a vowel, T tears into d. When I conjugate, I go or I'm going, I say be guitar instead of being guitar. I conjugate all of them. Ben, I'm going. Singers. You go, you are going OG is going, or she's going. Gs. We are going S Gisin, you all are going Og They are going. Listen carefully, and try to reap it after me. I go to conjugate them without the subjective pronoun. In, dersin, er, er is, ersine is. L et's trade with another verb, Watch Mach, which means to watch or to look. The same role. The est syllable is back. So it contains, then you need R suffix. A, according to the respective terminals, we've got to conjugate them. Ben Balk, I watch. Sin Bacar you watch. This is the singular phone. Ok, you are sure it watches or looks. Bac, we watch or we're watching. Sacars, you're watching. Onvoca. They are watching. I'm going to conjugate them again without the subjective pronounce. Bocar Bacars Baca Bacar Bacars, Bac you need to know another rule for such conjugation. Whenever the root ends with a vowel, you just need to add. Then should add the terminals according to the only or the latest syllable of the root. For example, the M, which points to it. The only syllable is and it ends with a vowel. You just need to add, and then you have a. You're going to add the term los according to the root that you drive, which contains A, you need to add in is sn. Listen carefully. Ben, I eat, Sens you eat all year. You sure, it as is, you all eat on. Date. I going to conjugate it again, listen carefully. Try to read it lot just after what I say. I conjugate them without the subjective pronouns as the terminals can indicate them. Y. Is Ys is. 9. Imperative: Turkish verbs, imperative form. First of all, you know that the words ending in mac or Mc or infinitive. This is the only way to distinguish them, but not only the words ending in mac or Mc or infinite like H Mc, which means bread, but most of them are. Anyway, you learned in the other lessons that you can drive the root out of the infinite just by omitting mac or mac. The imperative form is exactly the root. Meaning that whenever you use the root barely, this means it is in imperative for. Let's learn and check some examples. Before we check some examples, you know that Just unlike English, you conjugate the verbs in Turkish, and they indicate the number or singularity or plurality of the verb or the audience of the imperative. Anyway, in order to make it plural or plural imperative, you need to add in or as a suffix to the end of the root in order to make it plural. Same as other suffixes, it follows a root. Each suffix accords the latest or the only syllable of the root. If it contains or unit at n, if it contains A or E unit, if it contains or unit ad or or unit. Let's check some examples. First one, buck Muck, which means to watch or to look. Here it is how to say it in impressive form, just omit Muck. Buck Watch, and for polar form, buckle Watch you all. The next apertive, you make means to see. The imperative form is, and the pleura is in, means. The next word halos Much means to walk. It's how to say walk. Cs, and the pl form is s. Next one, Y means to write. The imperative form is yes, means right or write down. The por form is a son. The same. Si match means to count. C and the pluri form is son. Okumu means to read. Here's how to say read. Ok. As you see, ku ends with a vowel. You know that in order to add the suffix, you need to put something between the root and the suffix. If it is O. Just like the imperative form, you need a negative form for the imperative in order to speak. The negative imperative is even much more simple. You need to omit just k from end of the infinitive. The infinitive ends with ma or ma. Actually, only or remains with the root. And in order to make it pleural for pleural audience, you need to add yen or n to the end of the negative imperative form. N for the one ending in M, and Yen for the one ending in M. Let's check some examples. For example, quart mark means to be afraid. Here's how to say, don't be afraid, quart M, and don't be afraid, you all quart M. Next one, Yama means to eat. Just am Ym and add Y Yamin Ye Yamin. Oma means to play. Here's how say D' play Oint all Oin May. M means to s. Don't s is use me. And don't seem you all. Mean. It Mach. This is a useful verb in Turkish. Tm, don't do and I mean don't do you all. Each M means to drink. Here's how to say don't d. Each me and don't drink you all or it's per me, me. Try to make imperative from the other verbs you know in Turkish. A practice, you can also send it to us in order to correct. 10. Simple Future tense: Turkish verbs, simple future tense. This lesson you're going to learn how to conjugate the verbs in Turkish in simple present tense. Before any conjugation, you learn that you need to drive root out of an infinitive by omitting mac or mac from the end of the infinitive The terminals, you need to add other topics to the future tens we are listed here. You can see for each subject, the termines are in for band, which is the subject for first person singular, S for San. There is no terminal for third percent singular, as you know, for this tens and for any other tens is for B, Sunnis and Sinnes for Cs and ar or lard for lar. Keep in mind that, you need to obey the rule that you learned in the previous lessons. Let's check the suffixes indicating the future tens in Turkish. These are aj or Aj. The same rule governs the suffixes, if the latest or the only vowel of the root contains any of these vowels, you should opt or pick the right suffix. If it contains, or, you need to add j, and if it contains, you need to add j, and then the before set terminals. The terminal need depends on the surface you choose adject or object. The ones having terminal or added to object. Also for third percent plural, the rest or for a. But there's an exception in the conjugation. You're going to learn it while I conjugate. For example, the infinite Yasmc, which means to write or write down. The root is Yaz. Here you're going to conjugate the future tense. Ben Yaz. As you see, K tears into Make. It happens the same for first percent plural. Listen, Ben aza J. Senas Jackson, Oasa Jack means I will write, you will write or he or she will write. This Yasa joys. As you can see here, K turns into k, is a Jos. This Ya Jackson. O, Ya ja. We will write, you all will write and they will write. I'm going to repeat the conjugation again and try to rip it off to me. Yasa Joe, Yasa Jackson, Ya jog. Yaso Yasa Jackson, Yao. I can conjugate the verb Gitmc in the simple future tense. According to the structure that you learned, you add a j to the root and you add the terminals according to the suffix that you opted. Let's try the infinitive git Mac, which means to go. The root is git. You'll learn that in the conjugation of simple present tens, that whenever a suffix starts with a vowel, then t in the end of the root turns into d. Git Mac always the same role. Listen carefully. Ben gig, I will go. Senge js. You will go, singular. Oge g. You wh your it, will go. Biz gj. We will go. SiGe jones. You will go Oge j. They will go. I conjugate it again, listen carefully and try to rip it off to me. Get the jam. Get the jacks. G the check. G the chase, G the jacks. G the j. We're going to conjugate another w. Before this, you're going to learn this exception that whenever a root and ends with a vowel, then you need to add between the root and the suffix jc jc. Here, the example is a lama which means to understand or to get something. The root is ending with, which is a vowel. Let's conjugate it. H. Ben a j. I will understand. Sen json. You will understand, or j. You're sure it will understand. Bos We will understand. Json. You all will understand. On j. They will understand. I can you get it again and try to rip it after me. On a JM, json. A j. Nj Agenus, j. In order to practice, try to conjugate other verbs that you know in future tense,
