Ozge: I'll make our reservation via that cafe's wifi.

Ozge: Thanks.
POST CONVERSATION BANTER
Eric: Plane delays are my worst nightmare.
Selin: Airports are not fun places.
Eric: What’s flying like in Turkey?
Selin: Domestic flying in Turkey is cheap. In fact, sometimes it’s cheaper than the bus.
Eric: Does Turkey have many low cost airlines?
Selin: It has a few! There are Pegasus Airlines, Onur Air, SunExpress, and Turkish Airlines.
Eric: I think I’ve seen Turkish Airlines in places before.
Selin: Probably! Most of those airlines fly throughout Europe, and Turkish Airlines also flies internationally.
Eric: How reliable are the airlines?
Selin: Well, if you fly during national or religious holidays, your luggage might be lost.
Eric: Is that a common problem?
Selin: It can be. If your bag gets damaged, then take photos and report it to the airline company.

Lesson focus

Eric: In this lesson, you'll learn more about auxiliary verbs.
Eric: We’ll look at how to conjugate potential verbs.
Selin: Some gerunds can take bilmek, “to know,” durmak, “to stop,” kalmak, “to stay," and gelmek “to come." They help form compound verbs.
Eric: These compound verbs can be categorized as potential verbs, accelerative verbs, or continuative verbs. In this lesson, we’ll look at conjugating potential verbs.
Selin: Potential verbs are composed of -a (e) gerund and the bilmek, “to know” verb.
Eric: Doing so gives the verb the meaning of potentiality and being able to be done.
Selin: The negative of potential verbs are done with -ma(me) suffix and give the verb the meanings of inability or inadequacy.
Eric: Let’s look at an example using the verb “to do."
Selin: This is yapmak.
Eric: So how would we say “I can do?"
Selin: yapabiliyorum
Eric: And “I can’t do?"
Selin: yapamıyorum
Eric: Those are both present continuous conjugations. Now, how about the definite past tense? What is “I could do” and “I couldn’t do?"
Selin: yapabildim and yapamadım.
Eric: Next, the indefinite past tense. “I was capable of doing” and “I was not capable of doing."
Selin: yapabilmişim and yapamamışım.
Eric: Next, simple present tense. “I am capable of” and “I am not capable of.”
Selin: yapabilirim and yapamam.
Eric: And finally, the desiderative mood. “I wish I could do” and “what if I could not do?"
Selin: yapabilsem and yapamasam.
Eric: Let’s finish the lesson with a couple of example sentences.
Selin: Kitabı okuyabildiniz mi?
Eric: “Could you read the book?”
Selin: Bavulu taşıyabiliyor musunuz?
Eric: “Are you able to carry that luggage?” If you look at the lesson notes, there are conjugations for other pronouns, such as “you."

Outro

Eric: Okay, that’s all for this lesson. Thank you for listening everyone, and we’ll see you next time! Bye!
Selin: Güle güle.
