Language/Turkmen/Grammar/Some-Continous-Moods

Hello Turkmen learners! 😀

In today's lesson, you will learn how to form some continuous moods in Turkmen.

Adding -ber- after the verb stem and before any suffixes gives the sense of “go on doing”

e.g.

• Oturberäý - please go on sitting!

also the verbs ýörmek, otyrmak, durmak, and ýatmak are used to add a continous sense.

Use them with perfect participles:

e.g.

• Olar gezip ýörler - they're going for a walk.
• Ol ukläp ýatyr – He is sleeping.
• Myrat dynç alyp ýatyr – Murad is resting.
• Ýagyş ýagyp dur – It is raining.
• Biz garaşyp otyrys – We are waiting.
• Ol heniz hem okap ýör – He is still studying.
