How do we refer to a time in the future???
For example - how would we translate:
I February we are going to İstanbul
Şubatda İstanbul'a gideceğiz
Şubatla İstanbul'a gideceğiz
Şubat içinde İstanbul'a gideceğiz
Şubat zarfında İstanbul'a gideceğiz
or something else???

Şubatta İstanbul'a gideceğiz
Şubat içinde İstanbul'a gideceğiz
Şubat zarfında İstanbul'a gideceğiz
The first is the best, içinde and zarfında may be ok as grammar but not good as practical.

Şubat'ta İstanbul'a gideceğiz
Şubat'ta İstanbul!a gideriz.
I think these both are correct. I dont really remember but I thınk that the first one is when you are definetely sure you're going (you already bought the ticket), the second one is when you plan to go but t is more like an idea in your mind.
But someone please back me up here

I aggree.
if you definitely plan it and sure to go, you can use "Şubat'ta İstanbul'a gidiyoruz" just like in English. as known, with accurate plans, we can use present continuous tense.

Isn't that vice versa? Using the aorist tense has a more determined ring to it than using the future tense I think..

We, Turks, call this "Zaman Kayması"
Yarın gideceğim
Yarın giderim
Yarın gidiyorum
Yarın gidermişim << just funny, not same meaning
