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.
A stem ending in a vowel drops it before -iyor: kazı- → kazıyor.
-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: kazıyacağım. Not before a consonant: geleceksin.
After a vowel, the aorist is just -r: kazır.
From the library
Hafif rüzgarın teninizdeki yumuşak hissini, etraftaki doğal sesleri ve güneş ışığının eşsiz yansımalarını zihninize kazımak, inanın ki en yüksek çözünürlüklü fotoğraftan bile çok daha değerlidir.
Engraving the soft feeling of the light wind on your skin, the natural sounds around, and the unique reflections of sunlight into your mind is, believe me, much more valuable than even the highest resolution photograph.
