Hello friends; this time we are going to talk about the negative form of Story Mood of Past Tense, -idi. Likewise in previous tenses, we are going to put negativeness suffixes -me/-ma between stem and tense suffix. Let´s see this with a simple formula:
If last vowel of verb stem is one of "a,ı,o,u", formula is:
Verb stem + -ma + dı
If last vowel of verb stem is one of "e,i,ö,ü", formula is:
Verb stem + -me + di
Let´s make examples: "Yaptı" means he/she/it did. So, how can we say he/she/it DIDN´T do? Very easy; let´s use the formula. Last and only vowel of "yap" stem is "a". Let´s put the keys into formula:
Yap + ma + dı : He/she/it didn´t do!
It is too easy, isn´t it?
Do the same with "gör" stem, which means "see".
Gör + me + di : He/she/it didn´t see!
Let´s conjugate "açmak, kapatmak, okumak and gitmek" verbs:
Açmadım : I didn´t open
Açmadın: You didn´t open
Açmadı : He/she/it didn´t open
Açmadık: We didn´t open
Açmadınız : You didn´t open
Açmadılar : They didn´t open.
Kapatmadım: I didn´t close
Kapatmadın : You didn´t close
Kapatmadı : He/she/didn´t close
Kapatmadık : We didn´t close
Kapatmadınız : You didn´t close
Kapatmadılar : They didn´t close
Okumadım : I didn´t read
Okumadın : You didn´t read
Okumadı : He/she/it didn´t read
Okumadık : We didn´t read
Okumadınız : You didn´t read
Okumadılar : They didn´t read
Gitmedim : I didn´t go
Gitmedin : You didn´t go
Gitmedi : He/she/it didn´t go
Gitmedik : We didn´t go
Gitmediniz : You didn´t go
Gitmediler : They didn´t go
