Merhaba,

I have just started learning Turkish 2 weeks ago (And today I managed to count to a hundred yeay !).

I´m trying to get a sense how to recognise verbs in a sentence, and for that I´m looking for a list of the most common Turkish verbs; just the infinitives, so I can see what the root of the verbs are.

The lessons here focus mainly on how to conjugate the verbs, and I could not find such a list on this site. On Verbix.com I found this list:

1. etmek - To do/make
2. gitmek - To go
3. olmak - To be/become
4. sevmek - To love
5. gelmek - To come
6. almak - To take/get
7. yemek - to eat
8. okumak - to read
9. yazmak - to write
10. ekmek - to sow/stand up/waste

Now I´m looking for aditional verbs. Can anyone direct me to such a list (here on the forum or in a lesson) if it´s already made, or maybe make a list with the top 20-50 [most] common/everyday life verbs?

I hope it´s not too much to ask.

Çok Teşekkürler (thank you very much in advance),

Moi!

Hedef, Henry, thank you both very much!

That´s exactly what I was looking for! The links look a bit intimitading, but now I can dive into the action-packed world of verbs!.. Whoohoo!

Bir milyar teşekkürler!

Moi!

My pleasure. Good luck with your learning.

Hey, I´ve actually created a list for my website that might be useful to you (you just have to sign up for free). I did some research using Turkish language texts to generate a list of the 100 most common words in Turkish. Where verbs do appear on this list, you can also see the form of the verb that was used most often. For instance, you can see from my list that the most common form of the verb "demek" (to say) is the past definite third person form: dedi (he/she/it said). So you would know that you should not only know what "demek" is, but also how to use the past definite form.

Two things: (1) this list contains a lot more than verbs, which may or may not be useful to you right now, and (2) it´s possible that I will generate a list of just verbs sometime in the future, if there is enough for demand for such a thing. If anyone reading this is interested in such a thing, feel free to reply to this post, or make a comment at my website.
