Quoting CANLI: Quoting Elisa:
My book says the same about istemek, and adds the verb bilmek as well. |
Elisa,
You mean bilmek act same as istemek ? use the infinitive as well ? |
There is a whole part about this issue in the thread about Mastar Hali.
I had totally forgotten about this. Take a look at the thread, it has very useful information

Forget what I said about "bilmek"  Read the thread about the Mastar Hali, you'll see I made the same mistake there and I had totally forgotten about it!

Quoting eestlane: Yes thanks, I understand. Now I am trying to build an analogycal sentence in order to be sure of having understood everything:
John wants to do his homework well.
John iyi ödev yapmak istiyor.
Looking forward to your comments. |
John iyi ödev yapmak istiyor >>> john wants to do homework well
if u add ' his ', you should say ödevini
his homework >> onun ödevi ( but you dont need to say 'onun')
ödev-i-n-i >>> first 'i' is second personal suffix
'n' is fusion letter
second 'i' is accusative suffix
so; John wants to do his homework well >> John ödevini iyi yapmak istiyor. ( here we emphasize 'well' )

Quoting eestlane: but how is it about the ı-ending? John ödevini iyi yapmayı istiyor ? is this also correct? |
It sounds strange to me. When you ask "John ne istiyor?", the answer would be "ödevini iyi yapmak". That part of the sentence is the object of the sentence. Two accusative states in one part of a sentence would look weird to me.. But how I wish I could explain WHY!

ok then..better to use -mak and -mek in any case in the sentences with istiyor, yes?

yes it is correct aswell.
'ma','iş','mak' >> these suffixes are used to make noun the verbs
yapmak - to do
And yap-ma is its noun case
toplamak - to add (in maths)
topla-ma - addition (in maths again) ... like that here; it became a noun
almak - to take/to buy
vermek - to give
alış veriş - shopping ( here we used 'iş' to make it noun)

Ok after asking arround,i got this,
John iyi Türkçe konuşmak ve okumak istiyor.
John iyi Türkçe konuşmayı ve okumayı istiyor.
Both are correct and give same meaning too,although
First sentence implys that there was many languages,and John has picked Türkçe and he want to talk it and read it well
On the other hand,the second sentence implys that,there was only one language,which is Türkçe,and John want to talk it and read it well.
