Here you can ask questions to your teacher and talk to fellow classmates.

i didnt understad   nerede?´, ´nereye?´, ´nereden?´ things in the homework wht it mean it take the same case suffixes

nerede means "(at, in, on) where"

nereye means "to where"

nereden means "from where"

in this example nere is the base word and the rest comes with the suffixes -e, -de, -den

nere(y)e: you may ask here where this (y) comes, it is because in turkish the same vovel doesnt come together generally, special occasions are exception like private names etc.

so you have to use a combining(kaynaştırma) suffix

I hope this answers your question a bit... good luck

SORRY  i know i give u hard time with my Q but i cant help it

 i didnt understand  the Vowel Rules  and Consonant Harmony can u make it simple i will be thankful 

Sui has too many students to help. Let me give a hand here.  

Shizuma,

There are some suffixes that have two versions:

plural suffix: -ler, -lar (example: arabalar, evler)

infinitive suffix: -mek, -mak (example: gitmek, koşmak)

locative case suffix: -de, -da (example: arabada, evde)

With two type suffixes we have two rules:

1. if the last vowel is a back vowel (a,ı,o,u) continue with the "a" suffix.

2. if the last vowel is a front vowel (e,i,ö,ü ) continue with the "e" suffix.  

What is the last vowel in İstanbul? It is "u". So I put a back vowel if I´m adding a suffix that has two version: İstanbul´da 

Some suffixes have four versions:

accusative case suffix: -ı,i,u,ü

present continuous tense suffix: -ıyor,iyor,uyor, üyor

question suffix: -mı, mi, mu, mü

With four type suffixes we have two rules:

1. if the last vowel is a back and flat (a,ı ) continue with the "ı" suffix.

2. if the last vowel is a back and round  (o,u) continue with the "u" suffix.

3. if the last vowel is a front and flat (e,i) continue with the "i" suffix.

4. if the last vowel is a front and round (ö,ü ) continue with the "ü" suffix.

The last vowel in İstanbul is "u". So I put the -u suffix : İstanbul´u seviyorum.

thanxx alllot

hey....thanks for the evaluations so far......

just trying section 2 and confusing as to what front and back vowels is referencing ......is it hard and soft????

This is what Erdinc wrote in another thread:

back vowel = hard vowel = a, ı, o, u

front vowel = soft vowel = e, i, ö, ü

flat vowels = a, e, ı, i

round vowels = o, ö, u, ü

thank you ,makes sense now !!!!

hey....just wanted to check if you have recieved my homework for last week there are a couple not been evaluated and i just want to check if i am on the right lines.....thank you

Hello lesluv, my dear student!

yes i recieved your homeworks, but i was quite busy on other things so didnt have much time to concentrate to evaluate your homeworks, i might do them tonight or on monday

kind regards!

your teacher!

thank you sui much appreciated....no hurry i just wanted to check you got them

making noun sentences past tense do you apply the vowel harmony rule to the vowel that has been already suffixed or to the original vowel

eg kisa.... do you make this kisati (using the i) or kisatı (using the a)??i think the former

oh and do you use the buffer y for all past tense. omg soo confusing rule states to add the buffer y between vowels but the past tense suffixes all start with a d or a t so how does that rule apply ....

example given Ali iyi bir öğrenci_. becomes Ali iyi bir öğrenciydi

and if this is the case is previous example kisayti

help would be much appreciated on this one

i´ve had previous question answered.......
