Hello!

I have problem with the conditional sentences in Turkish... there are so many tenses available, that I don´t know which one I should use  For example, I want to translate this sentence: We won´t be able do it if we don´t get permission. And I am not sure if I should say:

a.) İzni almasak, bunu yapamayacağız.

b.) İzni almazsak, bunu yapamayacağız.

c.) İzni almayacaksak, bunu yapamayacağız.

or any other form? If more than one option of these is correct, explain to me the difference in meaning, please

I warn you, sufler, this is a bad bad one. You can start with the old threads: type "conditional" or "if" or something to the search box above and you will get plenty of text to read. This is one of the recent discussions, a pretty good one:

Study it first and then ask again, will you?

Ok, sure... sorry... and thanks for the link

What sorry, sufler? You misunderstood me. You can ask as much as you like, I never ment you can´t. But sometimes older members remember something that was earlier written about the issue and  -  most important of all  -  something that was useful for them. I was recommending you earlier posts because I have been where you are, with the same questions. It doesn´t mean that everything became clear, I still have something to ask all the time but it helped me at the time.

Take it like your mum was advicing you.

I would choose b from your alternatives but I am not sure.
