Forms you’ll meet
Tap for its suffix chainThe stem, then -iyor, then a person ending. The first vowel of -iyor follows vowel harmony (geliyor, alıyor, okuyor, görüyor), but -yor never changes, so the person endings after it are always back: -um, -sun, -uz.
-di follows vowel harmony (geldi, aldı, okudu, gördü). The past uses short person endings: -m, -n, -k, -niz, -ler.
-ecek after a front vowel, -acak after a back one. After a stem ending in a vowel, a buffer y joins them: başlayacak.
k becomes ğ before a vowel: uyduracağım. Not before a consonant: geleceksin.
Verbs of more than one syllable take -ir (-ır, -ur, -ür): uydurur.

Hacivat başını iki yana sallayarak, “ Senin kulakların yanlış duyuyor, kelimeleri tamamen kafandan uyduruyorsun,” diye söylendi.
Hacivat, shaking his head from side to side, grumbled, "Your ears are hearing wrong, you are completely making up the words from your head."
