Strange how these things crop up in different places at the same time isn't it? Life always seems to play that game!!!
However, I am still unsure how we can work backwards from diliyorum and know that it is dilemek and not dilmek. The first person present continous tense for dilmek would also be diliyorum would it not???

Excellent point!
There is a possibility that two dirrefent verbs might have the same present continuous tense conjugation. Why? Because when following the link about you see from my explanation that there are two ways to go with the present continuous tense. One for verbs which have a verb stem ending with a vowel and one for verbs which have a verb stem ending with a consonant. It turns out they can lead to the same result.
Example:
denmek > den > den + iyor > deniyor (denmek: to be said, deniyor: is being said)
Çok çalışan öğrencilere inek deniyor.
denemek > dene > deni > deni + yor > deniyor (denemek : to try, deniyor: is trying)
Bush, bozulan imajını düzeltmeyi deniyor.
kapmak > kap > kap + ıyor > kapıyor ( to catch, is catching)
Kuşlar atılan balıkları havada kapıyor.
kapamak > kapa > kapı > kapı +yor > kapıyor
Adam kapıyı kapıyor.

It's not something you would worry about. You would just naturally be able to translate based on the context that the verb is in.
Once you know the context, you will know the verb and from that you will know the root.

I knew this. I was trying to keep things simple. But you seem already familiar with that suffix.
The unability suffix for verbs is -e, -a or -ye -ya after vowels where y is a buffer. It is placed after the verb stem. So you got it correct. Very well done.
I will paste some exercises I have written for my private lessons. These include the negative past tense and the use of unability suffix which is a slight addition to the negative past. There are some translations to do. Here we go:
Negative Past Tense:
verb stem + negative suffix + past tense suffix + personal suffix
yüzmek > yüz > yüzdü > yüzmedi > yüzmedim : yüz + me+ di +m
gitmek > git > gitti > gitmedi > gitmedim : git + me +di +m

---------------------------------------------
Lets Start with a short summary:
abilitative suffix : -ebil, -abil
I decided to use this term as potential will be misleading especially with its negative.
example:
yüzmek : infinitive (double click on yüzmek for its meaning)
yüz+er : s/he swims
yüz+ebil+ir : s/he may swim (permission), s/he might swim (possibility), s/he can swim (ability),
yüz+dü: s/he swam
yüz+ebil+di : s/he he could swim, s/he was able to swim
Negative of Abilitative Suffix : -e (+ me) , -a (+ ma)
example:
yüz+e+me+di: s/he couldnt swim
I'm also calling the "Negative of Abilitative Suffix" as unabaility suffix.
---------------------------------------------
As explained above uyumadım (I didn't sleep) or uyuyamadım (I couldn't sleep) can be used in Bod's sentence. So we could say:
Dün gece uyumadım. (I didn't sleep last night) or
Dün gece uyuyamadım. (I couldn't sleep last night)
Quoting deli: but isnt uyuyamamdim also = i couldnt sleep and uyumayabilirim= i might not be able to sleep ? |
There are some typos.
"But isn't uyuyamadım also = i couldnt sleep and uyumayabilirim = i might not be able to sleep ?"
The first part is OK but the second part doesnt fit the translation. So we either change the translation or we change the Turkish text. Here are both:
uyumayabilirim = I might not sleep
uyuyamayabilirim = I might be not able to sleep
These are not possible to use in the context bod mentioned but they are worth having a close look. So here it goes:
1. uyumayabilirim = I might not sleep
2. uyuyamayabilirim = I might be not able to sleep
1. uyumayabilirim : uyu + ma+ y+ abil + ir + im
verb stem 'uyu' + negative suffix 'ma' + buffer 'y' + Abilitative suffix, Positive 'abil' + aorist tense 'ir' + first singular personal suffix 'im'
So we have the potential of negative in the aorist tense. In other word, there is a possibility of something not to happen. This is the potential of negative (not the negative potential). What this means is that, I am able not to do something. I have the ability to choose something not to do.
2. uyuyamayabilirim : uyu + y + a + ma + y + abil + ir +im : verb stem 'uyu' + buffer 'y' + abilitative suffix, negative 'a' + negative suffix 'ma' + buffer 'y' + abilitative suffix, positive 'abil' + aorist tense 'ir' + first singular personal suffix 'im'
The red part is as follows: y buffer, a unability suffix, ma negative suffix. The unability suffix is always accompanied by the negative suffix next to it.
The 'a' together with 'ma' expresses unabaility.
The 'abil' is expressing possibility.
So we have the possibility of unabaility in aorist tense. This means that there is a possibility to being not able to do something.
You might start thinking that things are getting too complicated with that verb on number two but it is actually possible to continue the story by adding the narrative mood to number two: uyuyamayabilirdim :
"I could have been unable to sleep" (unreality)
Anyway. There is no end with grammar but the good news is that to can ignore it almost completely. You will learn these details by gaining a feeling from your readings. I have just uploaded a very simple story .

Erdinç you are so good at explaining complex issues......as I am currently laying in bed with a warm laptop I shall leave the details of you post until tomorrow - I'm actually trying to get your 'short story' onto my PDA so I can read it wherever I am, but without success
One correction to your English though as you mentioned earlier that you wanted corrections.......
The lack of ability to do something is an "inability" not an "unability".

Yes, perfectly done sophie.
Your last sentence provides a typical verb conjugation and a good example for beginners. So to help beginners let me show how sophie has conjugated the verb:
uyu + y + a + ma + dı + m : I could not sleep
uyu : verb stem (sleep)
y : buffer letter preventing two vowels next to each other
a : unabilitative suffix
ma : negative suffix
dı : past tense suffix
m : first person personal suffix
Notice that a negative suffix always follows the unabilitative suffix.
