-miştir should be used with a verb, not?
"Gidelim, babam eve gelmiştir"
Let's go, my father must come home" (i guess he is at home)

gel is the verb root of gelmek
but ayşe is not a verb, by the way, "-miş" says that the event happed in past, so we need a verb. Non-verb, we can't say that there is a time, I guess...

And what about "-mekte"?

Quoting rena:

ooh yes, it makes some sense now. thank you!

but still a question remaining.. why couldn't ı use ayşe'miştir? it relates to past and it is a guess (tahmin)..

why?



aaaaaa yesterday i found the answer for this question myself... in my hitit grammar book

it says for nouns and adjectives only -dir suffix is possible (in a 'tahmin-guess' case)

i should always read more carefully...
