-dIr with Present Continuous Tense


When -dIr comes in the end of present CT. suffixed verb, it gives the meaning of "strong probability / possibility of something happening " 

It conveys the strong probability that something is happening in the way that speaker guess/thinks.

 

- Sen de biliyorsundur...... ---> You probably also know that........

 

- Şu an buraya geliyordur. ---> He is most probably coming here now.

 

- Şimdi yemek yiyorlardır. Rahatsız etmeyelim. ---> They must be eating now. Let´s not disturb them.

Quoting denizli

 

 

Koca oğlan olmuş ya.

 

Then i think it must mean: Wow, how big this boy is!

 

 

Yes, but without " WOWW"

Quoting Lady_A

Kosmusun bana

 

is it... are you running from me?

 

Thanks!

 

May be it is  " Küs müsün bana ? " --> Are you mad at me ? 

                                                        Are  you angry with me ?

                                                        Are you offended by me ?

Quoting KediNero

 

Quoting denizli

Just wondering something. Can we do this in Turkish?

Q. What are you doing?

A. Playing Basketball.

 

The answer is technically not correct. But in conversation we do this all the time in English. The ´I´ is implied (i.e. I am playing basketball).

 

 

Q. Ne yapıyorsun?

A. Basketbol oynuyor.

In Turkish, I know this answer is not proper. However, is this answer acceptable in Turkish conversation/slang or not?

But, you can say istemez instead of istemem in case like this:

 

Q. Su ister misiniz?

A. istemez (also istemem would be correct)

 

not sure why istemez is correct in such case and oynuyor incorrect.

 

Tunci can explain it {#emotions_dlg.razz}

 

 

Sometimes , in colloquial Turkish " İstemez ! "  third person singular aorist form is used for the first person singular as an impolite negative reply [No] when we are offered something or we are asked to do something. We give that impolite reply  it is because whether we are in a bad mood at the time or we got angry or offended with that person.

 

A. Çay alır mısın ?       ----------> Would you like to have some tea ? 

 

B. istemez                    ---------->  NO

 

---------------------------------------

 

A. Otur da dinlen biraz. ---------->  Have a sit and get some rest.

 

B. İstemez                     ----------> NO

---------------------------------------

No, that answer is not acceptable if you refer yourself [ I ], The question and the answer has to have logic at least in a minimum level in terms of persons.

 

Ne yapıyorsun ? ---> Basketbol oyunuyorum.


In other words, you have to say " I am "  by putting personal suffix -um

Alternatively, we may also say -uz [we] ---> I with other people = We

 

"basketbol oynuyorum " or " basketbol oynuyoruz "

I or We , we use  when give answer for that kind of question.


More collaquially, we just shorten it  ---> "Basket oynuyorum " 

                                                        Or---->  " Basket oynuyoruz "

Quoting Wilou

devlet de, intihar etmek isteyen kızları korkuturken gençler ayağa kalkıp Ka´nın elini sıktılar.

 Please, I am not able to translate this part of a sentence, can anyone help me?

 

While the state was also frightening the girls who wanted to commit suicide , the young people got up and shook Ka´s hand.
