HAHA.. IV TOTALLY F****D UP THE TITLE.. IT LOOKS LIKE I KNOW NO TURKISH AT ALL.. SORRY GUYS.. IVE BEEN HAVING A BAD TIME.. KAFAM YERİNE DEĞİL.... I KNOW YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I MEANT..

BUNU ÖĞRENMEM GEREK olacaktı.. hihi pardon.. ayy çok utandım ya..


why is it that sometimes the word gerek (when in a sentence similar to my title) has different tenses?

eg:
bunu öğrenmem gerek
bunu öğrenmem gerekiyor
bunu öğrenmem gerekir


my turkish book states that the 2nd one is correct although i quite often see the other 2 being used.
i can see that maybe the last one has a different meaning to the first 2 although why is it just gerek?

take hatice's song.. SENİN BANA DÖNMEMEN GEREK..
it sounds wrong.. shouldnt it be GEREKİYOR?? :S

alo? kimse yok mu?
bana yardım eden yok mu artık?

Thank you for your long and very explanatory posts kadir!!
