Word order in Turkish is less defined than in English......

But as a general rule, first comes the timing (now, tomorrow, etc.) then the subject then object then the verb right at the end.

For example:
şimdi köpeğim için tavuğı pişiriyorum

Quoting tirrogan:

şimdi köpeğim için tavuk pişiriyorum



erm......why does the noun not take the accusative state???

Now I am cooking the chicken for my dog.

So you are talking about a chicken we have already known:

Şimdi köpeğim için tavuğu pişiriyorum

If you were talking about any chicken, tirrogan's sentence would be used here.

Hello, let's see what can I do,
The word Order is as follows :

Subject
Time Clauses
Location
Object
Verb (always last in sentence except in some special cases)

E.g: "My mother and I " (subject)
Yesterday (Time Clause)
In the garden (location)
a yellow bird (object / adjectives precede nouns as in english)
We found = Verb (always last)

So it would be in turkish word order:
"My mother and I , yesterday , in the garden , a yellow bird , we found"

I hope this helps, I no longer have problems with turkish word order thanks to this!

You can say,
