Quoting erdinc:

It looks like it is only me and caliptrix who conjugate the verb 'yemek' as yiyiyorum and not yiyorum. caliptrix are you from İzmir as well? Maybe this is the reason for it, I don't know.
People even say "Ali yemek yiyor" instead saying "Ali yemek yiyiyor". Anyway, more discussion is in that thread.


no but near: i was born in eskisehir

Quoting Kadir37:

You can use demek => diyiyor?

I use yiyor & diyor:

ben yiyorum/diyorum
sen yiyorsun/diyorsun
o yiyor/diyor
biz yiyoruz/diyoruz
siz yiyorsunuz/diyorsunuz
onlar yiyorlar/diyorlar



Hayır diyiyor diye hiç duymadım.

Quoting Kadir37:

But why you conjugate it as 'yiyiyor'?
You can use demek => diyiyor?



That's what I was thinking as well.. could you guys please explain? :-S

Yup - a further explanation of this would be good

I can totally understand yiyiyor as the verb stem of yemek is single syllable ending in a vowel......but surely if you use yiyiyor then you must also use diyiyor.

Are yemek and demek the only two verbs to have a single syllable verb stem that ends with a vowel??? I assume that yamak is never used as a verb!
