Tenses in turkish follow.
I will try to match them with tenses in english, as much as i know.

I = Ben
to buy = Satın al-mak (the root of the verb is "al")

*** Di-li geçmiş zaman - tense suffix -> di (dı, du, dü) , ti (tı, tu, tü)
(Ben) satın aldım. (I bought)

*** Miş-li geçmiş zaman - tense suffix -> miş (mış, muş, müş
(Ben) satın almışım. ( ???)

* Dili geçmiş + Miş-li geçmiş
(Ben) satın almıştım. (???)

*** Şimdiki zaman – tense suffix -> iyor (ıyor)
(Ben) satın alıyorum. (i am buying)

* Şimdiki zaman + di-li geçmiş zaman
(Ben) satın alıyordum. (i was buying)

* Şimdiki zaman + miş-li geçmiş zaman
(Ben) satın alıyormuşum. (???)

*** Geniş zaman – tense suffix -> r
(Ben) satın alırım (i buy)

* Geniş zaman + di-li geçmiş zaman
(Ben) satın alırdım (???)

* Geniş zaman + miş-li geçmiş zaman
(Ben) satın alırmışım (???)

*** Gelecek zaman (Basic tense) – tense suffix -> ecek (acak)
(Ben) satın alacağım (i will buy)

* Gelecek zaman + di-li geçmiş zaman
(Ben) satın alacaktım (i would buy)

* Gelecek zaman + miş-li geçmiş zaman
(Ben) satın alacakmışım (???)

By the way I’am writing a computer program (with visual basic) that conjugates all the verbs in turkish. I will upload this program to web as freeware. Coming soon 
The verb conjugation in turkish is really simple since all the verbs are regular. So this program can conjugate all the verbs in turkish. You can even make up a verb , obeying the general turkish harmony rules program conjuate this verb like a native speaker.

There are already plenty of programs that conjugate Turkish verbs.

So, you will not be creating anything new.

Try writing a program that explains the logic behind the illogicalities of the Turkish syntax in daily speech, and then, I will pat you on the back.

I know winmekmak, that is a very good conjugator program.

If you can give some examples for the "illogicalities of the Turkish syntax in daily speech", i can try to explain them.
