Quoting caliptrix: I must learn Turkish: Türkçe öğrenmeliyim. |
Why is it öğrenmeliyim and not öğrenilmeliyim ???
Surely a long term act of learning is passive and therefore requires the -il- suffix......

I don't have much time."
On beş hafta içinde Türkiye'ye gidiyorum. Çok vaktim yok.
Isn't that right? |
evet, right.  |

Quoting caliptrix: Quoting Elisa: Çok vaktim yok. |
evet, right. |
Why vaktim - I assume this is somehow derived from vakit but cannot understand how 
I thought that zaman was "time".......

Here is a list of nouns losing their final vowel when you add a suffix starting with a vowel. There is no rule for it, but it is indicated in the dictionary.
Ex: fikir = idea / fikrim = my idea
And zaman and vakit are synonyms. Vakit comes from Arab I think..
