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.
After a voiceless consonant (f, s, t, k, ç, ş, h, p) the d of -di becomes t: koyulaştı.
-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: koyulaşacağım. Not before a consonant: geleceksin.
Verbs of more than one syllable take -ir (-ır, -ur, -ür): koyulaşır.
From the library
Kaldırım taşları önce benek benek koyulaştı, sonra büsbütün ıslanıp parlayarak üzerlerine düşen her ışığı titrek bir ayna gibi geri verir oldu.
The paving stones first darkened in spots; then, soaked through and gleaming, they came to give back every light that fell on them, like a trembling mirror.
