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: olacağım. Not before a consonant: geleceksin.
This is one of the 13 one-syllable verbs that take -ir (al-, bil-, bul-, dur-, gel-, gör-, kal-, ol-, öl-, san-, ver-, var-, vur-): olur.

Çoğu zaman iletişim kurmayı yalnızca durmaksızın konuşmak sanıyor, karşımızdakini anlamak yerine sadece kendi söyleyeceğimiz cümleyi zihnimizde hazırlamakla meşgul oluyoruz.
Most of the time, we think communicating is just talking non-stop; instead of understanding the person in front of us, we are busy just preparing the sentence we will say in our minds.
