on this site( http://www.onlineturkish.co.uk/ ), the future tense part of the grammar page says to form negative future tenses you insert "meye/maya" between the verb and the tense ending, and i'm finding this very confusing

it gave the examples:

gör-mek = to see



gör - meye - eceğim (I won’t see.)

gör - meye - eceksin (You won’t see.)

gör - meye - ecek (S/he/it won’t see.)

gör - meye - eceğiz (We won’t see.)

gör - meye - ecekler (You won’t see.)

gör - meye - eceksiniz (They won’t see.)

is it wrong?...because then it will be 2 "e" and the vowels never go together it seems...

thx, i was just doubting the exact same thing, becuz previous grammar pages from this site made it clear that you have to drop or add some letter to form some functional structures...this one i guess the author probably forgot to indicate that...

The explanation on that website isn't very good if it is as you say. The negative suffix is -me,-ma and is used in many tenses. The letter y is a buffer letter and is there to prevent two vowels coming next to each other.

gör - me - y - ecek - im (I won’t see.)
gör - me - y - ecek - sin (You won’t see.)
gör - me - y - ecek (S/he/it won’t see.)
gör - me - y - ecek - iz (We won’t see.)
gör - me - y - ecek - ler (You won’t see.)
gör - me - y - ecek - siniz (They won’t see.)

gör: verb stem of infinitive görmek
me: negative suffix
y: buffer letter
ecek: future tense suffix
im,sin etc. : personal suffixes

'k' in 'ecek' becomes 'ğ' when followed by a vowel.

There is no -meye or maya suffix in Turkish.

thank you so much!!! your explanation makes the most sense and is easy to understand and follow
