Oh Memet - we still have this question outstanding!!!!

olmalıydı ???
"It ought to have come into being" ???

Is it constructed as follows:
ol-malı-y-dı = verb stem + neccesitative tense + fusion consonant + 3rd person simple past tense


How is olmalıydı constructed???



Olmak – to be
Olmalı – it should be, it must be. The suffix “malı, meli” is used to create the obligative meaning, e.g.
Gitmeli – he/she has to go
Yapmalıyım – I have to do (smth), etc.
Olmalıydı – it should have been (or, I think, “it had to be). So we added the past tence suffix “dı”.



Teşekkür ederim!

So I had split the verb up correctly - I had just misinterpretted the necessitative tense suffix

Quoting Joey:

I believe there is also a stress on the syllable before the negative suffix -me



I wouldn't say you are wrong - but I cannot find any reference to this accent anywhere else :-S

Quoting angelina-Melek:

it should be "yoktu" not "yokdu" becouse of the consonant harmony



*slaps wrist*

That is the second time I got that wrong in one thread

You really did a good job, bod.

It took me twenty minutes to understand just a single paragraph



You think it took me any less time - and I am far from sure that I have done a good job :-S

Quoting MEMET:

there will be cats: kediler olacak
there will no cats: kediler olmayacak

is it ok bod?



I think so - 'var' and 'yok' are used for past and present, olmak is used for future.......

kedi yoktu - there were no cats
kedi yok - there are no cats
kedi olmayacak - there will be no cats
