how to build a sentence in Turkish
1. Start with verb: Firstly you need a verb to start to build a sentence. later we will ask some questions to the verb and add suffixed related with tenses.
- Ders çalışmak : to study
2. Choose the tense In this example, we will build sentence by using Present continuous tense.
Rule for Present continuous tense in Turkish, We add “-yor” after the root of verb.
- ders çalışıyor. (He/She is studying.)
3. Personal suffix
To add the right suffix end of the verb, we need to know who is doing action. You can find it easily. if we ask to the verb “Kim – Who”, we can find who is doing action.
Lets say the answer is ” Sen – you” . Then right suffix would be possibilities would be “-sin, -sın -sun, -sün,”.
- Ders çalışıyorsun. (You are studying.)
4. Adding extra information
We know ” you are studying”. However we can add extra information into the sentence. For example, we can add the location detail in the sentence. By asking ” Nerede – Where” to the verb, we can find where they are studying.
Nerede ? : Evde
if you want you can also add the personal pronoun at the start of the sentence. “Sen – you”
You are studying at home.
