Quoting JNQ

 

 

I know. Because he just told me.

You guys. Really.

Still, none of you smart people has explained why I can´t use ´-da´ with ´bu yaz´. Like I asked. If you had paid attention.

Other than ´you just don´t´. I mean, that´s not a grammatical rule is it?

 

If it makes you happy, you can say "yazda"  to mean "in the summer"  and no problem we Turks understand you easily. Dont worry about it. So, i wont pay my attention more.

Because time expressions are often simplified. Not only in Turkish. Just like in English we say this summer instead of in this summer. One of the reasons is their frequent use.

 

Turkish grammar is so regular that we learners tend to take every exception in the rules as a personal insult.

 

Besides, native speakers are often unable to answer our why questions because they are not relevant to them. They just let it go and speak.
