Consonant dropping may be seen in some words in Turkish in spoken language. Some of them are :

Quoting The Horak

Hello, I´m new to this site, as well as the Turkish language, so please forgive me if this is a known question or in the whong forum. I was reading a small book in Turkish, and I noticed these two verbs:

yaşıyorlardı

paylaşıyorlardı

 

Both verbs are present continuous tense (iyor), correct? Does the -di at the end of these make them past tense? If so, why would paylaştılar (not sure of vowel harmony and consonant mutation there) not be used?

 

Çok teşekkürler!

 

Yes, -di  makes them past, and with -iyor  it becomes past + continues ---> a certain action in the past WAS continuing. ---> PAST CONTINUOUS

yaşıyorlar --> They were living

paylaşıyorlar--->  They were sharing

 

As you know The past continuous tense in English is used quite often, especially when telling stories.

So called subject

 

So called subjects ” are seen in some sentences in which the  subject is not clear.  In such cases, we choose the element which is effected by the action as a subject and we call it “so called subject ”.

* The passive sentences  produce this type of subjects.

 

For example ;

 

Bu konu çok iyi anlaşıldı.  -à This subject is understood very well.

 

In the sentence above, we don’t know by who the action [being understood] is performed, what we know is “ bu konu [this subject] is the element that is effected by the action. Therefore , it functions as a subject. [so called subject]

 

Bu konu -à “so called subject ”

 

anlaşıldı  -à predicate

 

 

 

Bütün işler    yapıldı.        ---à All   jobs have been done.   

S.C Subject    Predicate

 

Here, we don’t know who done all jobs, all we know is the jobs has been done. “ All the jobs” is the element that is effected by the action most. Therefore the “ so called subject ”  is “ Bütün işler” [All jobs ]

 

 

 

Çiçekler         sulanıyor.  --à The flowers are being watered.

S.C Subject     Predicate

 

 

Kapı          usulca    açıldı. -à The door was opened quietly.

S.C Subject              Predicate

 

Pamuklar     toplandı.  -à  The cottons were picked. [collected]

S.C Subject        Predicate

Moods that refer future action

 

The sentence with future action can be built with several moods.

 

Example: 

 

Merak etme yarın seni ararım. -à Don’t worry, I call you tomorrow.

Aorist mood but refers to a future action.

 

 

Merak etme seni yarın arıyorum. ---à Don’t worry, I am calling you tomorrow.

Continuous mood but refers to a future  action.

 

 

Merak etme seni yarın arayacağım. ---> Don´t worry, I will call you tomorrow.

 

Future mood and refers to a future action.

Quoting KediNero

What about this sentence?

 

Pilotun kalp krizi geçirdiğinde kullandığı uçak göle düştü

 

Tunci is that correct? {#emotions_dlg.think}

 

 

Tecnically correct. But there is problem with degree of importance in verb order. The sentence is formed of  1 main + 2 subordinate sentence.

And the order of degree of importance in terms of actions should be as follows :

1.Uçak düştü. ---> Plane crashed  Main action/the most important action/ so it should be located in the end.

2. Kalp krizi geçirdi ---> He[pilot] had an heart attack  subordinate action / the second important action / so it should be located just before the most important action.

3. Kullanırken ---> while using [flying] it  subordinate action / the third important action

so it should be located before the second important action.

Quoting denizli

I came across a few more I wasn´t sure about.

 

1. Şey. I´m starting to hear this one a lot but to start a sentence rather that meaning ´thing´. Almost like ´Hey, ...´ ´Say, ...´.

YES  it may mean few things due to context.

well, hey you, .....etc


2. What does Selam yle mean?

 

 

2. What does Selam yle mean? ---> It means " Say hi to ........"

                                                                       " Give my greetings to ......."
