How to Rob a Bank
We're making big plans today - and to do that, we need the future tense. Hopefully we'll use it to talk about how we're going to spend all our new money and not how we're going to pass the time in jail.
The future tense (ecek).
Psst! Want to access
everything in this lesson?

merhaba,
I am an intermediate level student, I did a first level Turkish course and then I continued studying by myself, so it sounds a bit strange to me that yemek becomes yeyeceksin... shouldn't it be yiyeceksin?
I have this idea because yemek becomes yiyorum in the present continuous.
I'll be happy if you can clear my doubts. Thanks

Thanks so much! We're really glad you're here :)

Haklısın - it is yiyeceksin. And you're also right that we were accepting it as a correct answer in one of the review questions. It's fixed now. Thanks for letting us know!

Thanks for a great site for learning Turkish. it is the most valuable part of my arsenal of resources to master this beautiul language.

I picked up small error on the Language point page. I think you meant "sabah" instead of "saban" in "Yarın saban erken..."

Justin
@Pierre - thank you! Fixed :)

@Silvia - yiyeceksin or yiyeceksiniz. It *is* irregular.

Merhaba Justin and Turkish Tea Time Team,

Can you please help me understand following:
In Q#3 why "dans etmeceğiz" is not correct future construction?
In Q#5 why "anahtar" was converted to anahtarını ?

Teşekkürler

Merhaba Yousuf!

Q3
You need a buffer y in there. The correct future negative construction is et + me + y + ecek + iz = etmeyeceğiz. It's not like -iyor where you just drop the second letter of -me/ma.

Q5
anahtar = key
anahtar + ın = your key
anahtar + ın + ı = your key (direct object)

That final ı ıs the accusative suffix since anahtar is the direct object of vermek. Give what? Give *your key*.

Merhaba Justın.

TTT için teşekkür ederim. Ben çok öğreniyorum. Ama ...

Just tried to download the podcast for lesson 16 for my daily commute to learn about how to increase my research funds in the future (tense). Alas, it seems the hyperlink is pointing at the play podcast URL. Bunu tamir edebilirsin acaba. Lütfen.

Çok teşekkür ederımç
