Quoting mltm: Quoting Deli_kizin: Can somebody tell me if it's 'çalışmayor' or 'çalışmıyor'?
I think the second one sounds better, but from as far as I can remember the grammar the negative suffix ought to be me/ma ? |
It's "çalışmıyor" Esther.
the negativ suffix is -me, -ma but when other suffixes come after, it can change.
çalışmamak
-ıyorum (I am)
çalışma+ıyorum and "a" is dropped.
-dım (past tense suffix)
çalışma-dım : I didn't study. This one doesn't change.
I think it's because -ıyorum starts with a vowel.
|
Yes you are right, that is because of the vowel-thing. I totally forgot about it, but I remembered it afterwards when I was thinking of the same example 'çalışmadım' 
Thanks. Was the rest that I explained ok? I'm such a lazy ass, as soon as i studied one topic, i never revise it, thus i forget parts of it.

'yor' can also be used for the past tense, you just add on dum/dun etc
