Understanding the Türkçe Future Tense
In Türkçe, the future tense is used to talk about actions that will happen in the future. It's like saying 'I will do something' in English.
Important Points
- The verb stem is the main part of the verb without any endings.
- For most verbs, you add the ending '-ecek' or '-acak' to the verb stem.
- The choice between '-ecek' and '-acak' depends on the vowel harmony rules.
- Vowel harmony means using vowels that sound nice together.
- After adding '-ecek' or '-acak', you add personal endings to show who will do the action.
Let's see how this works with different verbs.
Examples
- Ben yarın gideceğim. (I will go tomorrow.)
- Sen oyun oynayacaksın. (You will play a game.)
- O kitap okuyacak. (He/She will read a book.)
Notice how the endings change based on the subject (I, you, he/she) and the verb stem.
Important Points
- For 'I', use '-eceğim' or '-acağım'.
- For 'you', use '-eceksin' or '-acaksın'.
- For 'he/she/it', use '-ecek' or '-acak'.
- For 'we', use '-eceğiz' or '-acağız'.
- For 'you all', use '-eceksiniz' or '-acaksınız'.
- For 'they', use '-ecekler' or '-acaklar'.
