Quoting Deli_kizin:

Quoting erdinc:


yiyor - yiyiyor
entelektüel - entellektüel
sağ ol - sağol
hoşÃ§a kal - hoşÃ§akal



I wonder why you disagree on yiyor and think it should be yiyiyor. Isn't the main-idea behind the vowel-harmony rules that it's easy to pronounce and is in harmony with the rest of the word? This idea makes it logical to drop the -yi- because that's more annoying to pronounce.



Yes - I wonder the same thing......

Also, why should yemek be the only verb to be so treated??? I think I can understand the logic that yemek has a single syllable verb stem that ends in a vowel and that might cause another language rule to come into play......but yemek is not the only verb to have a single syllable verb stem that ends in a vowel.

How would you put demek into first person present continuous tense???
diyorum or diyiyorum ???

I have never heard "diyiyorum", but I saw that Kadir had written that this is possible. "diyorum" is what i use always.

But you would use yiyiyorum instead of yiyorum???

Somehow that doesn't make sense to me
*struggling to understand*

Even i dont understand... Erdinç said, it is used "yiyorum" somewhere, and "yiyiyorum" in another places/areas...
I heard always like this: "yemek yiyiyor musunuz?". so the answer goes: "evet, yiyiyoruz" or "hayır, yemiyoruz". But never "yiyoruz". This is what i remember... So when i see "yiyor", it seems to me strange. It is about habit...

Hi Kadir,
These last examples you have shown are all incorrect usages.

For "yemek yemek" TDK suggests "yemek yiyorum" as present continuous. I think 'yiyiyorum' is also acceptable. This is the only acceptable verb to be used like this I think.

Stil "yiyorum" sounds strange to me but I admit that it is the way to go and is more common.

i understand now how to say 'i will...' in short, but what are the rules for saying 'we will...' in short? for example we will come = geleceğiz, how would i make this shorter? is it gelcez? because im sure this looks odd!

I thin' ye got it well and yer example is true.

Below are more examples.

Gitcez = Gideceğiz
Dicez = Diyeceğiz
Gülcez = Güleceğiz
DüşÃ¼ncez = DüşÃ¼neceğiz
Yapcaz = Yapacağız
Sorcaz = Soracağız
Kızcaz = Kızacağız
Düşcez = Düeşeceğiz
Görcez = Göreceğiz
Uçcaz = Uçacağız

But don't forget this:

You cannot use them while you writing.
It is not like in English: i will=i'll
You may write like this in English,^^

But not in Turkish... They are just to say.
say: görecez/görcez/görüceğz
but write: göreceğiz
