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.

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.
Eric: Okay, now onto the vocab.

Lesson focus

Eric: In this lesson, you'll learn about compound verbs.

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.
Eric: “This legend has kept being told since the old times.” Let’s finish the lesson with some more examples.
Selin: Yüz yıl savaşlarında İngiltere ve Fransa savaşıp durdu.
