Quoting erdinc: Yes it is right. The rules above could be applied to the ones which have an entry. This means you could find the correct suffix on your own by following the complicated rules for this tense but you would lose some time. |
Erdinç çok teşekklür ederim.
It was the fact that some verbs had the entry and some didn't that was confusing me - I am pretty sure I understand now

Quoting dogman: Why have you added the plural suffix twice in your second example? Is that what you meant to write "havlarlar" |
It isn't a plural suffix......this is how it is constructed:
havlamak = to bark
havla-r-lar
havla = verb stem
-r = aorist tense suffix
-lar = third person plural suffix
havlarlar = "they are barking"
Except I got the context wrong (see Erdinç's post above) in that the plural should be attached to "dog" and not the verb "to bark".

Quoting erdinc: "Köpeklerim havluyor", "köpekler havluyor", "köpeğim havluyor" and "köpek havluyor" would be correct. |
Would these translate as:
Köpeklerim havluyor
My dogs are barking
köpekler havluyor
Dogs are barking
köpeğim havluyor
My dog is barking
köpek havluyor
A dog is barking
