Merhaba...


I have a question regarding the future tense.


I asked the admins the same, but nobody replied so I decided to post it here. Regarding the verb close - kapat... Why doesn´t word mutation occur? The correct form is obviously kapatacağım, but why isn´t it kapadacağım? 


Teşekkür ederim!

Yes, posting it here is the best, rather than sending a question to the Admin.

I didn´t realize this either. Maybe you need to remember them. If anyone has an answer, I´m curious too.

It seems to me that the more I learn, the more confused I get.

Just as I think I´ve learned something, I come across an exception to the rule. However, when I know it is just an exception, I know I simply have to learn it by heart.

But if there is a rule, I want to know which one to apply and why.

I´ve also asked native speakers, but nobody gives me an exact answer. :/

Yes Turkish has a lot of exceptions actually. But much less than English. Likely whomever you asked didn´t realize about this one.

I finally found a good answer. And actually isn´t related to future tense.

 

http://forum.wordreference.com/threads/seyretmek-and-other-t-d-verbs.1214952/

 

According to this no verbs follow this rule except:

1. etmek, and all products of it: seyretmek, affetmek, ahdetmek,....etc
2. tatmak
3. gitmek
4. gütmek

Merhaba,

Softening of consonant is only available for nouns. 

But there are 4 exceptional verbs; "git", "et", "tat", "güt"

If we add a vowel suffix these verbs, we must turn their last letter to "d".

For example; gideceğim, edeceğim, tadacağım, güdeceğim

Meanwhile, there are some exceptional nouns.

We must keep the same most of monosyllabic nouns with vowel suffixes;

For example;

top > topa

koç > koçum

dut > dutu

We must keep the same some nouns with vowel suffixes that are transferred to Turkish from other foreign languages.

For example;

bisiklet > bisikleti

hukuk > hukuku

kart > karta

ahret > ahreti

Teşekkürler to both of you!

I didn´t realize that the word mutation occurs only with nouns, as it is not explained in the lessons. It says "WORD (not noun) has to end with p, ç, t, k..." so thank you for clearing that up.

One more thing from the excercises...

The sentence goes like this:

"Ben Ankara´yı sevmiyorum."

The question is which verb was used?

I wrote "sevmemek" but they corrected me and said it is "sevmek".

How can this be when they are verbs of completely opposite meanings.

Wouldn´t the sentence with "sevmek" go like this:

"Ben Ankara´yi seviyorum."

sevmek - love

sevmemek - don´t love

Word root is "sevmek". "sev-me-mek" is negative form of "sevmek" that is created using the negative suffix "-me".

 

Teacher meant "sevmemek" can´t be a word root. Verb is "sevmek" and "sevmemek" is negative form of "sevmek" verb.

I understand the suffix -me is added for a negative meaning and I thought it was "sevmek", but I went to look it up anyway in the dictionary on this site and it was there on its own as a verb "sevmemek - to dislike".

I think they shouldn´t have put it on its own then, they should have listed it under "sevmek" and just write the meaning next to it.

Or they should just be more explicit in the excercises, they should have asked to choose the correct verb root then.

I know I´m splitting hairs now, but it is confusing for beginners and perfectionists like me.

Teşekkür ederim!

I wouldn´t worry - both are correct. It´s like what is the verb from ´disliked´? You could either say ´to like´ or ´to dislike´.
