This morning I have a headache because yesterday it was very hot and I didn't have enough to drink!

That's right Bod, forgot to write the translation but it is even better, you did it and I think that's good practice too. Was it right in Turkish or I made a mistake?

I am confused by bilseydim......
bilmek - to know
bil-se-y-dim = verb stem + conditional suffix + y + first person past suffix.
But where does the -y- come from?
I assume it is a buffer consonant but why as the following suffix (-dim) starts with a consonant and not a vowel :-S

Having short sentences like this to practice on is perhaps the best possible way to learn - especially as it included verbal suffixes that I do not usually use. I really ought to try and learn to use them :-S

Learning Turkish and forgetting english  (practise :-S )but I corrected already.
I think in near future we can use longer sentences. I hope so.

"WRONG"It's always like this. Before the simple past tense suffix which is -dı,-di a vowel cannot come, you put -y. It sounds better."WRONG"

Grammar rules... |
Oh :-S
I thought buffer consonants were only used to prevent two vowels from coming together......something else I am bound to forget again before too long
