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.
The t of tat- becomes d before a vowel: tadıyor.
-di follows vowel harmony (geldi, aldı, okudu, gördü). The past uses short person endings: -m, -n, -k, -niz, -ler.
After a voiceless consonant (f, s, t, k, ç, ş, h, p) the d of -di becomes t: tattı.
-ecek after a front vowel, -acak after a back one. After a stem ending in a vowel, a buffer y joins them: başlayacak.
The t of tat- becomes d before a vowel: tadacak.
k becomes ğ before a vowel: tadacağım. Not before a consonant: geleceksin.
Other one-syllable verbs take -ar or -er: tadar.
The t of tat- becomes d before a vowel: tadar.
