Book recommendation...

I just wanted to recommend a book I bought, 201 Turkish Verbs.  It has loads of verbs in it and is useful for conjugating verbs too. Here is the Amazon link for it.

http://www.amazon.com/201-Turkish-Verbs-Conjugated-Tenses/dp/0812020340

I bought mine from ebay for around 10-12 pounds.

That one is useful for conjugation, but other than that it doesn´t really provide anything else. If you´re interested in learning more about verbs, try this one:

 

 http://www.amazon.co.uk/Dictionary-Turkish-Verbs-Context-Theme/dp/1589010574/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1230932479&sr=8-2

 

It doesn´t have the conjugations, but it gives you thorough explanations about the meaning of the verbs, also the idiomatic expressions with them, and plenty of examples of how to use the verbs in sentences. It´s not only organized alphabetically, but also by theme. It´s a bit on the pricey side (in the States it´s close to $50 ), but it´s very well worth it.

I agree Melek,once you have learnt to conjugate verbs according to grammar rules the book becomes redundant. I bought it and have rarely used it. Yours sounds more useful but too expensive!

Yeah, no kidding, I almost had an anxiety attack when I was paying for mine. But I´m using mine quite a bit, so no regrets there. And good point on the conjugation, especially since there are so many websites that will conjugate the verbs for you.

 Melek74 is right.  It is helpful for a beginner but rather limited in scope.  It provides conjugation of commonly used verbs, various moods and tenses, in alphabetical order.  It is reassuring to have it, but that is about all. 

 

My copy is almost in new condition and if someone wishes to buy it at half price+postage, I will part with it, as I am past the stage.
