I´ve been having trouble finding the right Turkish equivalent for "would"/"would not" in various contexts. I´m pretty sure I have it right when used with the conditional:

Hava güzel olsa dışarıda yeriz. - If the weather were nice, we would eat outside.

Hava güzel olsaydı dışarıda yerdik. - If the weather had been nice, we would have eaten outside.

But I´m not sure how to say "would" when it´s not conditional, but rather a question of willingness or being accused of something. Could someone check my attempts below?

I asked her to come, but she would not. - Gelmesini rica ettim ama istemedi.

She would not come. - Gelmeyi istemedi/reddetti.

He would never do such a thing. - Böyle bir şeyi asla yapmayacak. (something hypothetical in the future)

I don´t think he would ever do such a thing. - Böyle bir şeyi asla yapmayacağını düşünüyorum.

He would never do such a thing / he wouldn´t have done such a thing. - Böyle bir şeyi asla yapmazdı/yapamazdı. (accused of doing something in the past that he didn´t do)

I don´t think he would ever have done such a thing. - Böyle bir şeyi asla yapmadığını/yapamadığını düşünüyorum.

I would do anything for you. - Senin için bir şey yaparım/yapardım. (???)

I would never do that! - Onu asla yapmam/yapmazdım. (???)

Thanks in advance! I know it´s pretty down in the weeds.

These are quite interesting. Where are all the experts?

Merhaba Alison,

Since they are different languages and they have different rules, not all tenses have equivalents. It´s also hard for me sometimes to find a proper expression

I checked your attempts and bolded proper ones.

Thank you!!
