Marmaris - The perfect place for vacation

I was away for my vacation and i went to MARMARIS - Turkey. Here is a photo from
Marmaris. During my stay i had so much great time and wanted to share it with you. I
had 2 kilos overweight because of getting drunk like hell.
If you are up for a good night life and nice swimming i totally recommend MARMARIS.
While i was having my vacation i met with so many foreigners ( It is really hard to find
Turkish people around ) - Dutch,Russian,Ukraine,Serbian etc. I figure out that most of
them speak Turkish and i really enjoyed it.
Will go on the lessons real soon

but and because sentences in Turkish Language
We know how to form many tenses in Turkish and if you can do them correctly actually
you are making sentences. In turkish for a sentence only needed part is the verb.
You conjugate verbs with words but (ama,fakat) and because (nk) . Lets try
and see.
Sana hediye aldm NK seni seviyorum. ( I bought you a gift because i love you)
Sana hediye alacam AMA param yok. (I will buy you a gift but i dont have money)
Hediye : present,gift
sana : to you (Comes from the word sen)
Try to conjugate some sentences with but and because in the comments.

how to form future tenses in Turkish language
Hei Folks,
Today i am gonna show you
how to form future tenses in Turkish
language
.
It is just like the same in the previous you do have a suffix and add it to the verb. The
suffix to form future tenses is -ecek
Let see it on the verb Gelmek : to come
Gel+ece+im < see the transformation of k to . Any ideas?
Gel+ecek+sin
Gel+ecek
Gel+ece+iz <-also in here what is the common thing about this change?
gel+ecek+siniz
gel+ecek+ler
About The rule about the transformation of k to (and some more) you dont have to
worry it right now. If you even say gelecekim to people they will understand you. I will
tell this rule later on.
Voila!!! This is that easy. Verb + -ecek suffix + posession that is all you need.
Hint : Present tense can be used about future actions. It can be used with correct timing.
For example.
Pazartesi geliyorum. : I am coming on monday.
Pazartesi geleceim : I will come on Monday.
Both are good.
Another example :
Kalmak : To stay
Kal+aca+m
kal+acak+sn
kal+acak
kal+aca+z
kal+acak+snz
kal+acak+lar
Dont forget the wovel harmony.
Please pick a verb and try it on the comment section.

can NOT form in Turkish language
As always my fellow friend Stefan,from Germany give me some examples about can and
can not forms in Turkish. He is a really nice beta tester for Turkish. Anyway after i talk
with him i understood that he is having problems with
CAN NOT in Turkish
issue. Thats my mistake i didnt tell you how
As you remember
To do : Yapmak
i can do : Yap+abilir+im
i can not do yap+a+ma+m
-remember me,ma suffix is for negative forms from the tenses.
Lets try more
Kaabilirim : i can escape
kaamam. i cant run.
Main idea is this.

can form in Turkish language
Can is a kind of ability in English. You will never forget how to say can sentences in
Turkish anymore.
Ability -ebil (sounds like ability)
Lets try to Learn Ability form in Turkish Language.
lets pick our verb. Konumak : to speak
I can speak Turkish : Trke konuabiliyorum. Konu+abil+iyor+um
Remember the iyor? Yes it is the Present tense suffix.
I used to speak Turkish : Trke konuabiliyordum
Remember the di? Yes it is the Past tense suffix.
There are other forms of CAN with other tenses suffixes. But main idea is
Verb+abil(ebil)+ tense+possesion.
Pick a verb from a Dictionary and do this exercise in here.
For both past end present form.
Also a big challange say:

Learn Turkish
I know you are trying to Learn Turkish language and you are making a great effort. But
i will tell you a secret. Turkish can be the most easy language in the entire world. How
did i say that?
I used to read an article about the kids Learning Turkish. Acording to that research the
Turkish kids learn to speak their native language grammatically correct faster than the
rest of the world spearking their own languages.
Did you know that? So be relax. Turkish is an easy language to learn.
One of the other clue about being it so easy is most of the words are one slyabble and
short.
like : gel,git,ko,al,tut,yat,uyu,it,at,sat,sa
(come,go,run,take,catch,sleep,dog,horse,sell,hair). You can disagree with me like yeah
English is the same that you are write in here. Making new words is another powerful act
of Turkish. I will give you the silliest example ever but it is perfectly sense.
ekoslavakyallatramadklarmzdan msnz? // Are you the ones that we couldnt make
you Checzoslavakian?
One word for many words in English.
Ok now back to study! I just wanted to share some ideas.
Go to your studies back to Learn Turkish.
Haydi.

Days of Week in Turkish
Days of week in Turkish are
Monday - Pazartesi
Tuesday - Sal
Wednesday - aramba
Thursday -Perembe
Friday - Cuma
Saturday - Cumartesi
Sunday - Pazar
Yeah it sounds complicated i know . Small hint the words come from
cumartesi= cuma+ertesi
pazartesi = pazar+ ertesi
ertesi : mean something like the day after- the next day. So if you can remember cuma
and pazar you definetly know the upcoming 2 days as well.
