Quoting bod: My Turkish seems to be getting worse rather than better - I feel I should know the answer to this but I don't so I will ask anyway!!!
öğretmek takes the -ı state.
But which word has the suffix?
Which of these is correct???
Ben Türkçeyi öğretmelisin
Beni Türkçe öğretmelisin |
öğretmek takes -ı state but you need to know for what it takes it.
öğretmek is the factitive of öğrenmek. So, if someone is to be tought, he is the target, and you need to add it a direced suffix: -a/e
Bana öğret...
But the object is still same as the object in öğrenmek, so it is used same as in öğrenmek.
You can use both:
Türkçe öğrenmek (to learn a language as speaking)
Türkçeyi öğrenmek (could be same as the previous or to learn the language as an object, information about this language)
For that reason, you may say both;
Türkçe öğretmek
Türkçeyi öğretmek
And as "ben" is the target to be tought, it will have -e/a suffix: "bana"
Bana Türkçe öğretir misin?
Bana Türkçeyi öğretir misin?
Both are nice requests from someone to teach Turkish to you (bana)
Let's see the other examples of öğretmek;
Ahmet, Mehmet'e İngilizce öğretiyor
Ahmet teachs Mehmet English
Babam bana Almanca öğretti
My father tought me German
