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: pekiştireceğim. Not before a consonant: geleceksin.
Verbs of more than one syllable take -ir (-ır, -ur, -ür): pekiştirir.

Çünkü insan, antropolojik doğası gereği yalnızca almakla veya tüketmekle yetinemez; aidiyet hissini pekiştirmek, varoluşunu anlamlandırmak ve toplumsal ağdaki yerini sağlamlaştırmak için vermek zorundadır.
Because human beings, by their anthropological nature, cannot be satisfied merely with taking or consuming; they must give in order to reinforce their sense of belonging, give meaning to their existence, and solidify their place in the social network.
