Quoting bod:

Devam etmem uğraşacağım!



Devam etmeye uğraşacağım (or "çalışacağım")



Does this mean the /ı/ is missing from the entry for uğraşmak in the dictionary???



if it is not a verb, for example "ödev" (homework):
ödevle uğraşacağım.
It has /la/ << dictionary says so.

if it is a verb, it is /a/ (not /ı/)

Dictionary does not say so for meaning 1!
1. to strive, struggle, endeavor, exert oneself, put forth an effort, work hard.
I meant this meaning - to endeavour

Well... Maybe they thought that it is a verb which doesn't need a word to use with it. For example, only:
Uğraşıyorum....

But you can say your job by adding -le suffix. Examples:

Arabayla uğraşıyorum (car has something wrong, so i am trying to fix it)

Caner'le uğraşıyorum (Caner is a very naughty boy, so you have to be careful for the behaviour against to him)

Yemekle uğraşıyorum (cooking is a work to show a big effort for you, so cooking is hard for you)
