Question and Negative Forms of -miþ and Conjugation

 

 

Hello, welcome. In this chapter, I´m going to talk you about the "negative" and "question" forms for -miş structure. Let´s start with negative form:

 

As you remember, for verbs, our negativeness suffix was "-me, -ma". Same is valid here, as well. Let´s see it with a simple formula:

 

Verb root + -me/-ma + -miş/-mış

 

You know how negativeness suffix meet the rules of Vowel Harmony; as we only take "-me and -ma", we only need "miş and mış" because of Vowel Harmony.

 

If -me, then -miş.

 

If -ma, then -mış.

 

Let´s do:

 

Oku + ma + mış

 

Yap + ma + mış

 

Gör + me + miş

 

Duy + ma + mış

 

As you it is very easy. And now question form:

 

Formula is: Verb stem + -miş/-mış/-muş/-müş + mi?/mı?/mu?/mü?

 

Remember that question suffixes are always written apart!

 

Görmüş mü? : Had he seen?

 

Duymuş mu? : Had she heard?

 

Anlamış mı? : Had he understood?

 

We can conjugate this structure for personal pronouns:

 

Duymuş + um : I had heard (Apperantly, I heard)

 

Duymuş + sun : You had heard (Apperantly, you heard)

 

Duymuş: He, she, it

 

Duymuş + uz : We

 

Duymuş + sunuz : You (plural)

 

Duymuşlar : They.

 

Let´s do it for gitmek verb:

 

(Ben) Gitmişim

 

(Sen) Gitmişsin

 

(O) Gitmiş

 

(Biz) Gitmişiz

 

(Siz) Gitmişsiniz

 

(Onlar) Gitmiş(ler)
