Hey guys...
Having a lot of trouble here, getting very frustrating. I understand the "dik" suffix and it´s meaning, however, I can´t figure out which contexts to use it in. Does anyone know any links to lessons regarding it´s usage?
For example, I know something like "gittiğim zaman" means "when I go", so would "yarın gittiğim zaman, arabayı sürebilir miyim?" make sense?
I´ve been told it´s more correct to say something like "yarın biz gidince, arabayı sürebilir miyim?"
Is there a rule of thumb I can stick to?

gittiğimde: when I went
It is usually past tense
gideceğimde: when I will go
future tense

For me this has been the hardest thing to learn and I´m still not there.

Shouldn´t be too hard as I see little ones (3/4 years olds) use it very easily. It´s just that it´s a very unusual construction for you guys (speakers of European languages).

What is your source for this? This is wrong, I think. When I want to say "when I will go", I would say "gideceğim zaman" not this one.
One could say:
gidecek olduğumda = if I ever decide (or have an intention) to go
That´s a different meaning.

Hi Si,I´ve heard and used both of these myself,
gittigim zaman/gittigimde=when I went.
gidecegim zaman/gidecegimde= when I go.
my question is in the second examples the ´de´ suffix is added why is that? does it denote ´and,at that time? I wonder?
so;Gittigimde=´and at that time´when I went
Gidecegimde=´and at that time´ when I will go.
That´s how I had it explained to me before but, now i´m questioning it thanks Si

Mylo,
As a native speaker, I have never used "gideceğimde" to mean "when I will go" nor have I heard somebody say it. What is you source for that? Where did you learn it?

I forget Si but I suspect it´s probably colloquial Turkish I don´t really know.I admit it´s not something I hear a lot but every now and then I get to here it, like I said I tend to use ´gittigim zaman gidecegim zaman´ etc but, the others I have heard a few times.
