Quoting Abla

 

 

I think the aspectual system of Turkish is very developed and very often when we talk about tenses we should talk about aspects actually. This should be taken into account better by those who plan big guidelines of how Turkish should be taught.

 

I don´t remember what aspect is/means is taught when we learn Turkish grammar at school. Probably they  think it is something more confusing to teach than helpful.

Yarın sana geliyorum  ----> I am coming to you tomorrow. [This way, my coming to you is more definite , by using continues tense I ,as if, already started coming to you [present tense] and there is no way going back from it]

 

I was just wondering if this use of present progressive corresponds to be going to future in English.

I dont think so Abla, as when we replace it " ;

1. We need to indicate a specific time ;

Yarın akşam saat 6´da sana geliyor olacağım ----> I will be coming to you at 6 tomorrow  evening .

That means, I will be in the process of coming to you at 6 tomorrow  evening.

 

 

the Future Continuous is interrupted by a short action in the future

- In "geliyor olacağım " the action has not started yet.

- In "geliyorum " the action has started imaginarlly "
