== Introduction ==
=== What Are Participles? ===
 
Participles are derived from verbs and can act as modifiers to nouns or serve as nouns themselves. In Turkish, participles can express actions that are ongoing, completed, or in a state of being.
 
There are two main types of participles in Turkish:
 
1. '''Present Participles''': Indicate an ongoing action.
 
2. '''Past Participles''': Indicate a completed action.
 
=== Present Participles ===
 
Present participles in Turkish are formed by adding the suffix '''-en''' or '''-an''' to the verb root. This allows you to describe an action that is currently happening.


In this lesson, we will explore the complex grammar topic of participles in the Turkish language. Participles are verb forms that can function as adjectives or adverbs, and they play an important role in sentence construction and adding descriptive details. By understanding the different forms and uses of participles, you will be able to express yourself more fluently and accurately in Turkish. So let's dive into the world of Turkish participles!
=== Past Participles ===


== What are Participles? ==
Past participles are created by adding the suffix '''-miş''' or '''-dı''' (depending on vowel harmony) to the verb root. These participles describe actions that have been completed.


Participles are verb forms that are derived from verbs and can function as adjectives or adverbs in a sentence. They can be used to describe nouns, provide additional information, or indicate the manner in which an action is performed. In Turkish, participles are formed by adding suffixes to the verb root, and these suffixes change depending on the tense, voice, and aspect of the verb. There are three main types of participles in Turkish: present participle, past participle, and future participle. Let's explore each type in detail.
=== Examples of Participles ===


=== Present Participle ===
To illustrate the concept of participles further, here are some examples:


The present participle, also known as the active participle, is used to describe ongoing or continuous actions. It is formed by adding the suffix "-en/-an" to the verb root. Let's take a look at some examples:
==== Present Participles Examples ====


{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"
! Turkish !! Pronunciation !! English
! Turkish !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
| yazan || jɑˈzɑn || writing
|-
| koşan || koˈʃɑn || running
|-
| konuşan || koˈnuʃɑn || speaking
|-
| okuyan || oˈku.jɑn || reading
|-
| düşünen || dyˈʃy.nen || thinking
|-
| oynayan || oɪˈnɑ.jɑn || playing
|-
|-
| çalışmak (to work) || çalışan || working
 
| bekleyen || bekˈle.jen || waiting
 
|-
|-
| okumak (to read) || okuyan || reading
 
| gülümseyen || gyˈlɨm.se.jen || smiling
 
|-
|-
| yazmak (to write) || yazan || writing
 
| gezen || ɟeˈzɛn || wandering
 
|-
|-
| dinlemek (to listen) || dinleyen || listening
|}


As you can see, the present participle suffix "-en/-an" is added directly to the verb root. This form can be used to describe a person or thing that is currently performing the action indicated by the verb. For example, "çalışan öğrenci" means "working student" and "okuyan kitap" means "reading book".
| düşen || dyˈʃɛn || falling


=== Past Participle ===
|}


The past participle, also known as the passive participle, is used to describe completed or passive actions. It is formed by adding the suffix "-il/-ıl/-ul/-ül" to the verb root. Let's take a look at some examples:
==== Past Participles Examples ====


{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"
! Turkish !! Pronunciation !! English
! Turkish !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|-
| çalışmak (to work) || çalışılan || worked
 
| yazmış || jɑzˈmɨʃ || written
 
|-
|-
| okumak (to read) || okunan || read
 
| koşmuş || koʃˈmuʃ || run
 
|-
|-
| yazmak (to write) || yazılan || written
 
| konuşmuş || koˈnuʃmuʃ || spoken
 
|-
 
| okumuş || oˈku.muʃ || read
 
|-
|-
| dinlemek (to listen) || dinlenen || listened
|}


The past participle suffix "-il/-ıl/-ul/-ül" is added directly to the verb root. This form can be used to describe a person or thing that has undergone the action indicated by the verb. For example, "çalışılan iş" means "worked job" and "okunan kitap" means "read book".
| düşünmüş || dyˈʃyn.mɨʃ || thought


=== Future Participle ===
|-


The future participle, also known as the prospective participle, is used to describe actions that will happen in the future. It is formed by adding the suffix "-ecek/-acak" to the verb root. Let's take a look at some examples:
| oynamış || oɪˈnɑ.mɨʃ || played


{| class="wikitable"
! Turkish !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|-
| çalışmak (to work) || çalışacak || will work
 
| beklemiş || bekˈle.miʃ || waited
 
|-
|-
| okumak (to read) || okuyacak || will read
 
| gülümsemiş || gyˈlɨm.se.miʃ || smiled
 
|-
|-
| yazmak (to write) || yazacak || will write
 
| gezmiş || ɟeˈzmiʃ || wandered
 
|-
|-
| dinlemek (to listen) || dinleyecek || will listen
 
| düşmüş || dyˈʃmɨʃ || fallen
 
|}
|}


The future participle suffix "-ecek/-acak" is added directly to the verb root. This form can be used to describe a person or thing that will perform the action indicated by the verb in the future. For example, "çalışacak kişi" means "person who will work" and "okuyacak kitap" means "book that will be read".
=== Usage of Participles ===
 
Now that we've explored the formation of participles, let’s discuss how they can be used in sentences:
 
1. '''As Adjectives''': Participles can modify nouns.
 
* Example: ''Yazan çocuk'' (The writing child).
 
2. '''As Nouns''': Participles can also act as nouns.
