| Hi everybody, I'm Seda Surerl. |
| Herkese merhaba ben Seda Surerl |
| and welcome back to another Turkish whiteboard lesson |
| and today we will be talking about common Turkish verbs for daily conversation. |
| Are you guys ready? |
| Let's get started. |
| Okay, now let's look at the vocabulary, okay? |
| First verb |
| izliyorum |
| I'm watching |
| izliyorum |
| I'm watching. |
| You may noticed we don't say ben, I, ben, I |
| because in Turkish |
| we not only put the tense in the verb but also the pronoun. |
| That's why we don't have to say the pronoun I, ben again, okay? |
| If you want to emphasize the sentence |
| you can't say it but otherwise you don't need to say it so it's easier. |
| You just say the verb conjugated in the first person, I, here. |
| And here you see the dictionary form of the verb watch |
| izlemek |
| watch |
| izlemek |
| watch. |
| And notice this, the dictionary form has mek |
| mek. |
| You take it out and you only leave izle, izle, okay? |
| And after that you add the suffixes to the verb. |
| There are rules to that but for now just remember it like that. |
| The logic is take the mek out of the dictionary form and then add suffixes. |
| Let's see the other examples |
| yapıyorum |
| I'm doing |
| yapıyorum. |
| And the dictionary form is "yapmak" |
| do, make |
| yapmak. |
| Here again we have this time mak |
| take it out |
| mek |
| take it out. |
| The dictionary form you have to take it out the mek and the mak then add the suffixes. |
| Let's see the other example |
| okuyorum |
| okuyorum |
| I'm reading |
| okuyorum. |
| And let's look at the dictionary form okumak |
| read |
| okumak |
| read |
| okay? |
| Again you have to take the mak at the end before adding the suffixes. |
| Let's look at the other example |
| dinliyorum |
| I'm listening |
| dinliyorum. |
| Again we have mek at the end of the dictionary form |
| dinlemek |
| listen |
| take it out, the mek you have to take it out, ok? |
| The next one is |
| temizliyorum |
| I'm cleaning, |
| ok? |
| And the dictionary form is temizlemek |
| temizlemek |
| clean. |
| And again you can find the mek at the end to take it out, ok? |
| içiyorum |
| I'm drinking |
| içiyorum |
| I'm drinking. |
| And the dictionary form is içmek |
| drink |
| içmek. |
| The next one is geliyorum |
| geliyorum |
| I'm coming |
| geliyorum. |
| And the dictionary form we see here gelmek |
| you can see the ending here, see? |
| Mek, mak, mak, mek, mek, mek, mek, mek, mak |
| take the mek and mak off the dictionary form before adding any suffix. |
| So, geliyorum, I'm coming, gelmek, come. |
| let's see another one |
| yürüyorum, |
| I'm walking |
| yürüyorum |
| yürümek |
| walk |
| ok? |
| The next one is veriyorum |
| veriyorum |
| I'm giving |
| veriyorum |
| ok? |
| And the dictionary form is vermek |
| vermek |
| give. |
| And the last one here is konuşuyorum |
| konuşuyorum |
| I'm speaking or I'm talking |
| there is no difference in Turkish, speaking, talking, ok? |
| Konuşuyorum |
| and the dictionary form is konuşmak, ok? |
| speak or talk, konuşmak |
| And again, you have to take the mak at the end of the dictionary form |
| before adding any suffix, ok? |
| Ok, next you are going to hear two friends talking over the phone |
| and I'm going to read the dialogue |
| and I'm going to read it |
| and I want you to notice the words we just discussed in this part, ok? |
| Let's see the dialogue. |
| Here, ne yopıyorsun? |
| Let me show it to you. |
| Ne yopıyorsun? |
| Televizyon izliyorum. |
| One more time, this time I will read it slower. |
| Ne yopıyorsun? |
| Televizyon izliyorum. |
| Televizyon izliyorum. |
| Ok, did you guys catch the verb? |
| Did you guys catch it? |
| Yes, we have it here. |
| İzliyorum. |
| I'm watching. |
| İzliyorum. |
| And did you guys notice something else? |
| In English, we first have object, I, verb, watching. |
| I'm sorry, subject, I, verb and object. |
| Subject, verb, object. |
| But in Turkish, it is a little bit different. |
| We have the object first, televizyon, verb, later. |
| İzliyorum. |
| Televizyon izliyorum. |
| Object, verb, ok? |
| Let's see the pattern here. |
| We first have the object, then we have the verb. |
| And don't forget, the verb is conjugated not only in the tense, ok? |
| But also the pronoun, the subject. |
| We have ben, I in this verb, ok? |
| This is, I am watching. |
| This says, I am watching without the say, I. |
| Because we have the suffix, states that, ok? |
| So, it's a little bit different. |
| And what about the question? |
| Did you catch the verb we just studied here? |
| Yes, yopıyorsun. |
| The verb here, yapmak. |
| yapmak, of course this is a question and it is asking, what are you doing? |
| You, not I, you. |
| Because it is talking about you. |
| The conjugation is different here. |
| Ne? Yopıyorsun. |
| What are you doing? |
| okay |
| And again, here you will see object, ne? |
| Verb, yopıyorsun. |
| Object and verb, ok? |
| Ok, let's see two more examples. |
| We have two different examples here. |
| Kitop okuyorum. |
| I'm reading a book. |
| Here, you will see the verbs in red. |
| Okuyorum. |
| Do you remember the dictionary form of okuyorum? |
| It is okumak. |
| Kitop okuyorum. |
| Object, verb. |
| Let's see the other example. |
| Müzik dinliyorum. |
| Müzik dinliyorum. |
| I'm listening to music. |
| Müzik dinliyorum. |
| Do you remember the dictionary form of dinliyorum? |
| Let's see here. |
| Dinliyorum. |
| Dillemek. |
| And again, we have object, verb. |
| Müzik dinliyorum. |
| I'm listening to music. |
| Ok, you saw the examples and let's go over the sentence pattern one more time. |
| As you can see, first we have the object, then we have the verb, ok? |
| And in Turkish, everything is in the verb. |
| The tenses, the negatives, the questions, the pronouns we add to the verb. |
| And as I explained before |
| we have to take out the mak and the mek part from the dictionary form of the verb. |
| And as a side note |
| Turkish sentence structure is not as determined as in English for example. |
| You can change the places of the verb, object. |
| If you want to add the subject to it, you can change it. |
| And the other things you can mix and match. |
| But for now, let's keep it at the side. |
| It's a different subject. |
| For now, we just see this is the basic pattern, ok? |
| First the object, then the verb in the conjugated form. |
| A fun fact, in Turkey |
| people can ask you what are you doing even in like business meetings. |
| And Turkish people can ask you very personal questions. |
| Ok, what were you doing? What are you doing? What are you watching? |
| Where are you going? What are you talking? What were you drinking? Things like that. |
| And don't take it personal. |
| This is how we show that we see you and we are interested in your life. |
| Like we want to know what you are doing |
| and we can even ask about your kids, your spouses, your parents, your family. |
| And that's ok. That's very Turkish. |
| So don't get offended and you can answer as much as you want. |
| And when you are answering, you can use our verbs here, ok? |
| You can say I'm drinking this, I'm doing that, I'm cleaning the house. |
| We have all the verbs here for you. |
| Not all the verbs, but a lot of verbs. Ok! |
