I mean, don´t worry about the fine details. You can skip them. For instance a very small detail about n buffer is that it is also used with -den, -de case if these come after a third person possessive suffix. Example: penceresinden (from his window). The n buffer has irregularities.

 

Do you have to learn these detail to learn Turkish? Absolutely not. Even if you had learned all them it wouldn´t help much.

 

So don´t worry about the details. You needs lots more practice about the topics that you already know. For instance the basic grammar topics.

 

In short, I ´m suggesting much less detail and lots more practice. Reading, speaking, listening, writing and exercises are all practice. Practice should be spread over time.

"arkadaşlarınyla"

 

We didn´t say it that way because y and n are both buffer letters. Then we would have use two buffers. There are two buffers n and y in that word.

 

n occurs with noun cases that come after a possessive suffix. Because -la isn´t a noun case it didn´t take n and it took y.

 

Here is a summary:

use y with noun cases, tense suffixes, personal suffixes and -la

use s with possessive suffix

use n with noun cases that come after a possessive suffix

 

I suggest that you don´t worry about too much detail in grammar. For learning a language, it is not the debth of grammar you study that counts, but it is the quantity of practice.

Hello karekin,

 

All the information you will need will be available on the first message of this topic. New dates and times will be posted earlier before the lesson starts. For instance this week we had lessons on Tuesday, wednesday and saturday. I had posted times on monday. So there was enough time to plan ahead.

 

You don´t need anything except coming here and opening the first message before the lesson starts.

Hello natiypuspi,

 

Todays lesson started 3 hours ago and lasted a little more than one hour. So you are three hours late.

alexblakeley,
Sure you can, as long as there is space and you can get in.

The capacity is 20 learners. Last two lessons we had 13 and then 8.

I haven´t written it yet. I need to think for a while how to make lessons more efficient.

Quoting sputnik01:

Would there be a problem if I started from Lesson 2 ?



Of course not. Currenty there is absolutely no limitation about joining lessons. Anybody can join any virtual lesson they want, as many times as they want.

In the future I might introduce some limitations but these will be related to having a headset. So, have your headsets ready. Buy a headset now if you don´t have one.

"Ailem ile" is not totally wrong. But it´s not much used that way. It depends on the context. Sometimes "ile" used like "and". For instance "Ali ile Ahmet geldiler". In these cases we would prefer the word version. Otherwise the suffix version is prefered.

Another detail about -le, la suffix is that after a vowel it takes a y buffer. For instance "arabayla" (by car).

Cheers
Erdinç
