| Selin: Merhaba, I'm Selin. |
| Eric: In this lesson, you’ll learn about compound verbs. The conversation takes place at the dentist. |
| Selin: It's between Mert and a nurse. |
| Eric: The speakers are strangers in a customer service context; therefore, they’ll speak formal Turkish. Okay, let's listen to the conversation. |
| DIALOGUE |
| Hemşire: Şikayetiniz nedir? |
| Mert: Yirmi yaş dişim dün akşam bir anda çok ağrımaya başladı. Şaşıp kaldım. |
| Hemşire: Kanamanız var mı? |
| Mert: Dişlerimi fırçalarken diş etlerim kanıyor. |
| Hemşire: İlaç kullandınız mı? |
| Mert: Ağrı kesici alacaktım. Sonra uyuyakalmışım. |
| Hemşire: Tamam. Herhangi bir alerjiniz var mı? Mesela, lokal anesteziye karşı? |
| Mert: Bildiğim kadarıyla yok. |
| Hemşire: Tamam. Doktor Bey birazdan sizle ilgilenecek. Siz şu listeye bakadurun, ben hemen geliyorum. |
| Mert: Peki, teşekkürler. |
| Eric: Listen to the conversation one time slowly. |

| Mert: Peki, teşekkürler. |
| Eric: Listen to the conversation with the English translation. |
| Nurse: What's your complaint? |
| Mert: Yesterday evening, my wisdom tooth began to ache very strongly all of a sudden. I was surprised. |
| Nurse: Are your gums bleeding? |
| Mert: They bleed while brushing my teeth. |
| Nurse: Did you take any medicine? |
| Mert: I intended to take some painkillers, but then I fell asleep. |
| Nurse: OK. Do you have any allergies? For example, against local anesthesia? |
| Mert: As far as I know, I don't. |
| Nurse: OK. The doctor will be seeing you soon. I'll be right back while you're checking this list. |
| Mert: All right. Thanks. |
| POST CONVERSATION BANTER |
| Eric: We listened to a trip to the dentist this time. At least the pain can’t have been that bad if Mert fell asleep. |
| Selin: Right. Mert had painkillers, but was able to sleep instead. |
| Eric: Is it easy to get painkillers and other medicines in Turkey? |
| Selin: I think so. Most neighborhoods have several drugstores, and they are open Monday to Saturday, from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. |
| Eric: What kind of medication can you buy? |
| Selin: In Turkey, you can get a lot of different medications without a prescription. |
| Eric: Like what? |
| Selin: Antibiotics, antidepressants, birth control pills, and so on. Use of these medications is very common in Turkey. |
| Eric: Oh, I see. You said earlier that drugstores aren’t open on Sundays? |
| Selin: Every district has some emergency drugstores that are open on Sundays and at night. |
| Eric: How can you find out where they are? |
| Selin: If you check drugstore windows, you’ll see the details of the on-duty drugstore. Also, there are some phone apps that have the information. |

Lesson focus |
|---|
| Eric: In this lesson, you'll learn about compound verbs. |
| Selin: We’re going to learn about continuative compound verbs, to be precise! |
| Eric: What is this type of compound verb used for? |
| Selin: They’re used to show that an action is continuous and perpetual. |
| Eric: How do we make these verbs? |
| Selin: They’re composed of a verb with an -a (-e) gerund along with durmak, kalmak, görmek, or gelmek verbs |
| Eric: Are there any exceptions to this? |
| Selin: Sometimes the -ıp gerund is used with the verb durmak. |
| Eric: Do you see these verbs commonly in Turkish? |
| Selin: No, continuative verbs aren’t used often. |
| Eric: Well, let’s see some examples. |
| Selin: An example with durmak is Sen vitrinlere bakadur, ben hemen geliyorum. |
| Eric: “While you are looking at the vitrines, I'll be back in a jiffy.” |
| Selin: And for kalmak, Adam onu terk eden sevgilisinin arkasından bakakaldı. |
| Eric: “The man stood in wonder after his girlfriend walked out on him.” |
| Selin: If you use gelmek, it implies repetition. |
| Eric: Okay. Let’s hear an example. |
| Selin: Bu efsane geçmişten beri söylenegelmiştir. |
