Language/Turkish/Grammar/Future-Tense
Merhaba everybody,
In today's lesson you will learn some useful vocabulary about ¨FUTURE TENSE¨ in Turkish.
There are many ways to express future in Turkish but generally, we use -ecek/-acak paragoge’s. For example, the present form of a sentence would be "Plan yaparım" but if you want to say that sentence in the future form, then it would be "Plan yapacağım."
Happy learning! :)
Rules
Turkish is also like the other europan language about the conjugations.
First of all you should take the verb stem and then you should put the future addition.
You can form the future tense in Turkish with the -ecek and -acak additions.
For example, you should start with the verb "love" (sevmek). The verb stem is sev-. The future addition is first singular is -eceğim.
Now, we add the this addition to verb stem. sev + eceğim.
I will always love you (Seni daima seveceğim). You must not say "I" (ben) because you are already expressing "I" with the addition -ecek.
Only if you want to make an emphasis, you can add the first pronoun "I" (ben).
It works the same as the other European languages.
For example if you want to say "I love you" in Italian you should say "ti amo".
The verb is amare and the verb stem is -am. The first singular addition is -o. Namely the full sentence is amo. This is the same in Turkish.
Here is the formula to use:
PRONOUNS + VERB + (ECEK / ACAK)
| PRONOUNS | PRONOUNS | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| ben | -eceğim | I | will |
| sen | -eceksin | you | will |
| o | -ecek | he/she/it | will |
| biz | -eceğiz | we | will |
| siz | -eceksiniz | you | will |
| onlar | -ecekler | they | will |
