To be

The verb to be (for the ´is´ in English) is handled in a special way, it is different from the other verbs. This is also the case in Turkish, the use of the verb to be is very unique. Unlike all the other verbs, to be is expressed with suffixes. It can be in one of present tense or past tense. Let´s see it in present tense and past tense for different cases of personal pronouns. English Turkish Suffix Present tense to be i am xxx ben xxx-im -im you are xxx sen xxx-sin -sin he  \ she  |  is xxx it    / o xxx -(none) or -dir we are xxx biz xxx-iz -iz you are xxx siz xxx-siniz -siniz they are xxx onlar xxx or onlar xxx-ler none or -ler Past tense to be i was xxx ben xxx-dim -dim you were xxx sen xxx-din -din he  \ she  |  was xxx it    / o xxx-di -di we were xxx biz xxx-dik -dik you were xxx siz xxx-diniz -diniz they were xxx onlar xxx(-y)-diler (-y)-diler NOTE 1 For the third person of the present tense to be, there are two cases. One with no suffix and one with -dir. If you are making a personal statement or you are talking in a casual way, you use the no suffix case. However, if you want to make a definitive or informative statement like one in an encyclopedia, you use the suffix -dir. Both have the same meaning, and sometimes can be used interchangeably. Let´s see examples to this. This house is very big. --> Bu ev çok büyük. That is my house. --> O benim evim. He is a student. --> O bir öğrenci. Spider is an animal. --> Örümcek bir hayvandır. (The -dir case is used since this is an informative statement) Sun is larger than earth. --> Güneş dünyadan daha büyüktür. (Again, this is an informative statement) NOTE 2 When constructing the third person plural past tense form of to be, the suffix -ler can be ommitted in some cases. These are explained below:   a. Humans or objects that have no individuality take singular conjugation for third person plural. But if the speaker wants to give objects individuality then he can use plural. This would be a poetic sentence.  b. Humans and other things that have individuality (for instance animals that have names) can take either singular or plural conjugation. Usually if the subject is defined (if we known them) then we use plural conjugation. If the subject is undefined then we use singular conjugation.  NOTE 3 Since the verb to be is different for each personal pronoun, personal pronouns can be omitted in speech or writing. The meaning of person is given with this verb. To say "I am beautiful." you can use one of: "Ben güzelim." "Güzelim.". Using the personal pronoun adds the meaning of stressing person. We will use the personal pronoun in parenthesis to indicate that it is optional. Now, let´s see where to be is used: To construct a sentence with a noun or adjective instead of a verb, like in English. The verb to be is the implicit verb here. You are beautiful. --> (Sen) güzelsin. You were beautiful. --> (Sen) güzeldin. This is a house. --> Bu bir ev. That was a house. --> O bir evdi. To construct verbs in different tenses, the suffix for each tense is used with either present tense of to be or past tense of to be. Actually, it is present tense of to be in all cases except the regular past tense.

[Turkish] Beginner 1 - session 3 (3/3) 母音規則 練習名詞句的過去形

-其中一例外是 -le 後綴修飾
     Example: Arabayla geldik.

-另一個例外是 -di 後綴修飾(過去句形用於名詞句型)

[Turkish] Beginner 1 - session 3 (3/3) 母音規則

from  http://www.turkishclass.com/ 


母音規則


1. 當兩個母音湊在一起時通常有兩種情況
-1.1  拿掉一個母音
my (-im) house (ev) ,  ´my house´ --> evim.
my (-im) car (araba) ,  ´my car´ -->  arabaım.  因a為硬圓母音,  -im --> -ım
但兩個母音在一起不合理, 接著若 兩母音皆相同  "-i, -ı, -u, -ü" group, 則拿掉哪一個都可以
若  一為 "-i, -ı, -u, -ü" group,  另一為 "a, e, o, ö" group,  則拿掉"-i, -ı, -u, -ü" group的母音
´my car´ -->  arabam 


-1.2  加入一個緩衝音
 (-e) to home (ev) , (to) home --> eve,  (-e) to car (araba) , (to) car --> arabaa
但兩個母音在一起不合理,  接著 這次不移除母音,  而是在兩個母音中間加上緩衝音 y

Coast --> Kıyı    |    To the coast --> Kıyı-e --> Kıyıya

Room --> Oda    |    To the room --> Oda-e --> Odaya

Ship --> Gemi    |    To the ship --> Gemi-e --> Gemiye

不過,  不是每次緩衝音都使用 y,  有時是 s 或 n


--a) 若名詞後修飾 -i
---表示特定物體時, 緩衝音使用 y
araba-i sat -> araba-y-ı sat -> arabayı sat (sell the car)
yazı-i oku -> yazı-y-ı oku -> yazıyı oku (read the text) 


---若使用於第三人稱(his-her-its),  緩衝音使用 s

araba-i -> araba-s-ı -> arabası (his-her-its car)

para-i -> para-s-ı -> parası (his-her-its money)

kedi-i -> kedi-s-i -> kedisi (his-her-its cat)

except:su-i -> su-y-u -> suyu (his-her-its water)


--b) 若名詞後修飾 -e(表示方向)
---緩衝音使用 y 

araba-e -> araba-y-a -> arabaya (to the car)

konu-e -> konu-y-a -> konuya (to the topic)

pencere-e -> pencere-y-e -> pencereye (to the window)

--c) 若名詞後修飾 -in(表示所有格) 
---緩衝音使用 n

araba-in -> araba-n-ın -> arabanın (of the car, the car´s)

konu-in -> konu-n-un -> konunun (of the topic)

pencere-in -> pencere-n-in -> pencerenin (of the window)

若-in使用於第二人稱,  則 i 拿掉不用
第一人稱所有格修飾之 -im 同規則

第一人稱複數所有格修飾之 -imiz 同規則

第二人稱複數所有格修飾之 -iniz 同規則

araba-im -> araba-m -> arabam (my car)

kedi-in -> kedi-n -> kedin (your cat)

kapı-imiz -> kapı-mız -> kapımız (our door)

para-iniz -> para-nız -> paranız (your (plural) money)

kedi-le oyna -> kedi-y-le oyna -> kediyle oyna (play with the cat)

gemi-le gel -> gemi-y-le gel -> gemiyle gel (come by ship)

--e) 若名詞後修飾 -de/den(表示位置/方向) 

araba-de -> araba-da -> arabada (in the car)

kedi-den -> kediden (from the cat)

araba-si-de -> araba-sı-n-da -> arabasında (in his-her-its car)

[Turkish] Beginner 1 - session 3 (2/3) 次要的母音規則 練習名詞句的母音變化

from  http://www.turkishclass.com/ 

名詞句使用與人稱相同的句尾修飾

Examples:

Both these sentences have the same personal suffix:

1. Ben İstanbul´a gidiyorum. (verb sentence in present continuous tense)

Ben öğrenciyim. (noun sentence in present tense)

Both these sentences have the same personal suffix:

2. Biz Istanbul´da yaşıyoruz. (verb sentence in present continuous tense)

Biz öğrenciyiz. (noun sentence in present tense)

The personal suffix moves after the question suffix in noun sentences in present tense. In negative noun sentences it moves after "değil".

"Sen öğrencisin." affirmative noun sentence.  

"Sen öğrenci misin?" question noun sentence.  

"Sen öğrenci değilsin." negative noun sentence.  

Of course our vowel harmony rules apply here as well and remember to put a -y buffer between two vowels.

Vowel Harmony in i type suffixes:

a or ı is followed by ı

e or i is followed by i

o or u is followed by u

ö or ü is followed by ü

Vowel Harmony in e type suffixes:

a, ı, o or u is followed by a

e, i, ö, or ü i is followed by e

Personal suffixes for noun sentences, present continuous tense and future tense:

單數形 ben : -ım, -im, -um, -üm sen : -sın, -sin, -sun, -sün o : none 

複數形 biz : -ız, -iz, -uz, -üz siz : -sınız, -siniz, -sunuz, -sünüz onlar : -lar, -ler or none

Complete these sentences:

Example:

The question is : Ben öğrenci_.

Your answer is: Ben öğrenciyim.
