Quoting MEMET:

bod: kedi yoktu" not "yokdı"

Yes of course - silly me

So what you are saying is that "yok" can be used for past and present but not for future - is that right???

Quoting angelina-Melek:

gÃ¼nler daha kısa olurdu... Bir gÃ¼n 48 dakika sÃ¼rerdi...

Whilst this is true - there would be nobody to observe it

I am struggling with how "olurdu" is comprised......
It seems to be a mix between aorist and simple past tense :-S
Sort of a cross between:
olur and oldu

Quoting MEMET:

yarın kedi olmayacak

So 'yok' and 'var' can only be used to express the current situation. They cannot be used for future - for that 'olmak' has to be used??? What about past???

Can I say:
kedi yokdı
there were no cats

Quoting MEMET:

no Bod: what i meant is "it should have been " uzaya uÃ§ulacak"

Why???

I wanted this form "onlar uÃ§ulacaklar"
"they will be flown"

You quoted "o uÃ§ulacak"
"he/she/it will be flown"

Uzaya insanlar uÃ§ulacaklar
"People (they) will be flown into space"

Quoting MEMET:

Bod: uzaya uÃ§ulacak" olmalıydı

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

Quoting Elisa:

Guess with pronouns it would be:
Onu yazıyorum - I write it(the letter)
Ona yazıyorum - I write on/to it (the blackboard)

That contradicts what you said earlier - or I am not understanding :-S

I thought that with pronouns the state was fixed for any given verb......but that is not the case in your example here!
