The pronouns ''(V)In'', ''(V)Ou'', ''(V)Ini'' and ''(V)Onu'' will use the V if the preceding noun ends with a vowel. In a sentence, the possessive determiner will always succeed the object. The object pronoun usually comes after the verb: | |||
* ''Haz ensei ianzak '''in''''' - This is '''my''' food | |||
* ''Iandaita ťimana '''vin''''' - You ate '''my''' grape | |||
* ''Rimtiz '''soz''' kołru'' - I saw '''them''' yesterday | |||
===Verbs=== | |||
====Stems of verbs==== | |||
Many stems in the dictionary are indivisible; others consist of endings attached to a root. | |||
====Verb-stems from nouns==== | |||
The verb-stem ''Maršo-'' "Build" is the adjective ''Mar'' "A build" with the suffix ''-šo''. Many verbs are formed from nouns or adjectives with ''-šĕ'': | |||

====Voice==== | |||
A verbal root, or a verb-stem in ''-šĕ'', can be lengthened with certain '''extensions'''. If present, they appear in the following order, and they indicate distinctions of '''[[Grammatical voice|voice]]''': | |||

These endings might seem to be ''inflectional'' in the sense of the {{section link||Introduction}} above, but their meanings are not always clear from their particular names, and dictionaries do generally give the resulting forms, so in this sense they are ''constructive'' endings. | |||
{| class="wikitable" | The causative extension makes an intransitive verb transitive, and a transitive verb '''factitive'''. Together, the reciprocal and causative extension make the '''repetitive''' extension ''-(i)ştir''. | ||

====Negation and potential in verb-stems==== | |||
A dictionary-stem is '''positive'''; it can be made: | |||
*'''negative''', by addition of ''-me''; | |||
| | *'''impotential''', by addition of ''-e'' and then ''-me''. | ||
Any of these three (kinds of) stems can be made '''potential''' by addition of ''-e'' and then ''-bil''. The ''-bil'' is not enclitic, but represents the verb ''bil-'' "know, be able"; the first syllable of the impotential ending represents an obsolete verb ''u-'' "be powerful, able" [[#References|Lewis]] [VIII,55]. | |||
| | So far then, there are six kinds of stems: | ||
| | :{|class="wikitable" | ||
|+ Paradigm for stems negative, impotential and potential | |||
|- | |- | ||
! | ! ||English infinitive||English finite form | ||
| | |||
| | |||
| | |||
|- | |- | ||
|''gel-''||"come"||"come" | |||
| | |||
| | |||
| | |||
| | |||
|- | |- | ||
|''gelme-''||"not come"||"do not come" | |||
| | |||
| | |||
| | |||
| | |||
|- | |- | ||
|''geleme-''||"be unable to come"||"cannot come" | |||
| | |||
| | |||
| | |||
|- | |- | ||
|''gelebil-''||"be able to come"||"can come" | |||
| | |||
| | |||
| | |||
| | |||
|- | |- | ||
|''gelmeyebil-''||"be able to not come"||"may not come" | |||
| | |||
| | |||
| | |||
| | |||
|- | |- | ||
|''gelemeyebil-''||"able to be unable to come"||"may be unable to come" | |||
| | |||
| | |||
| | |||
| | |||
|} | |} | ||
Such stems are not used for aorist forms, which have their own peculiar means of forming negatives and impotentials. | |||
Note that ''-ebil'' is one of several verbs that can be compounded to enhance meaning. See [[#Auxiliary verbs|Auxiliary verbs]]. | |||
===Bases of verbs=== | |||
The '''characteristics''' with which verb-'''bases''' are formed from '''stems''' are given under {{section link||Inflectional suffixes}}. Note again that aorist verbs have their own peculiar negative and impotential forms. | |||
The '''progressive''' base in ''-mekte'' is discussed under {{section link||Verbal nouns}}. | |||
Another base, namely the '''necessitative''' (''gereklilik''), is formed from a verbal noun. | |||
The characteristic is ''-meli'', where ''-li'' forms adjectives from nouns, and ''-me'' forms gerunds from verb-stems. | |||
A native speaker may perceive the ending ''-meli'' as indivisible; the analysis here is from [[#Lewis]] [VIII,30]). | |||
The '''present''' base is derived from the ancient verb ''yorı-'' "go, walk" [[#Lewis]] [VIII,16]; this can be used for ongoing actions, or for contemplated future actions. | |||
The meaning of the '''aorist''' base is described under [[#Participles|#Adjectives from verbs: participles]]. | |||
There is some irregularity in first-person negative and impotential aorists. The full form of the base ''-mez'' (or ''(y)emez'') reappears before the interrogative particle ''mi'': | |||
:''Gelmem'' "I do not come" (cf. ''Gelmez miyim'' "Do I not come?"); | |||
:''Gelmeyiz'' "We do not come" (cf. ''Gelmez miyiz'' "Do we not come?") | |||
The '''definite past''' or ''di''-past is used to assert that something did happen in the past. | |||
The '''inferential past''' or ''miş''-past can be understood as asserting that a past participle is applicable ''now''; hence it is used when the fact of a past event, as such, is not important; in particular, the inferential past is used when one did not actually witness the past event. | |||
A newspaper will generally use the ''di''-past, because it is authoritative. The need to indicate uncertainty and inference by means of the ''miş''-past may help to explain the extensive use of ''ki'' in the newspaper excerpt at [[Turkish vocabulary#The conjunction ki]]. | |||
{| class="wikitable" | The '''conditional''' (''şart'') verb could also be called "hypothetical"; it is used for remote possibilities, or things one might wish for. (See also [[#Compound bases]].) | ||
The various bases thus give distinctions of tense, aspect and mood. These can be briefly tabulated: | |||

===Questions=== | |||
The interrogative [[#Particles|particle]] ''mi'' precedes predicative (type-I) endings (except for the 3rd person plural ''-ler''), but follows the complete verb formed from a verbal, type-II ending: | |||
:''Geliyor musunuz?'' "Are you coming?" (but: ''Geliyorlar mı?'' "Are they coming?") | |||
:''Geldiniz mi?'' "Did you come?" | |||
| | ===Optative and imperative moods=== | ||
| | Usually, in the '''optative''' (''istek''), only the first-person forms are used, and these supply the lack of a first-person '''imperative''' (''emir''). | ||
In common practice then, there is one series of endings to express something wished for: | |||

The | ===Copula=== | ||
{{main article|Turkish copula}} | |||
The copula in Turkish appears in only two variants―''*imek'', a defective verb often attached to the noun, and ''olmek'', which is a detached regular auxiliary verb. | |||
''*Imek'', derived from the ancient verb ''er-'' [[#Lewis]] [VIII,2], survives in Turkish only in the inferential past, perfective, and conditional: | |||
*''imiş'', | |||
*''idi'', | |||
*''ise''. | |||
The form ''iken'' given under [[#Adverbs from verbs]] is also descended from ''er-''. | |||
Since no more bases are founded on the stem ''i-'', this verb can be called defective. In particular, ''i-'' forms no negative or impotential stems; negation is achieved with the [[#Adverb of negation]], ''değil'', given earlier. | |||
The ''i-'' bases are often turned into base-forming suffixes without change in meaning; the corresponding suffixes are | |||
*''-(y)miş'', | |||
*''-(y)di'', | |||
*''-(y)se'', | |||
where the ''y'' is used only after vowels. For example, ''Hasta imiş'' and ''Hastaymış'' both mean, "Apparently/Reportedly, he/she/it is ill". | |||
The verb ''i-'' serves as a [[copula (linguistics)|copula]]. When a copula is needed, but the appropriate base in ''i-'' does not exist, then the corresponding base in ''ol-'' is used; when used otherwise this stem means "become". ''Idir'', a variant of ''imek'', is used for emphasis. | |||
The verb ''i-'' is irregular in the way it is used in questions: the particle ''mi'' always precedes it: | |||
:''Kuş idi'' or ''Kuştu'' "It was a bird"; | |||
:''Kuş muydu?'' "Was it a bird?" | |||
===Compound bases===<!-- This section is linked from [[Grammatical mood]] --> | |||
The bases so far considered can be called "simple". A base in ''i-'' can be attached to another base, forming a compound base. One can then interpret the result in terms of English verb forms by reading backwards. The following list is representative, not exhaustive: | |||
*Past tenses: | |||
**'''continuous past:''' ''Geliyordum'' "I was coming"; | |||
**'''aorist past:''' ''Gelirdim'' "I used to come"; | |||
**'''future past:''' ''Gelecektim'' "I was going to come"; | |||
**'''pluperfect:''' ''Gelmiştim'' "I had come"; | |||
**'''necessitative past:''' ''Gelmeliydim'' "I had to come"; | |||
**'''conditional past:''' ''Gelseydim'' "If only I had come." | |||
*Inferential tenses: | |||
**'''continuous inferential:''' ''Geliyormuşum'' "It seems (they say) I am coming"; | |||
**'''future inferential:''' ''Gelecekmişim'' "It seems I shall come"; | |||
**'''aorist inferential:''' ''Gelirmişim'' "It seems I come"; | |||
**'''necessitative inferential:''' ''Gelmeliymişim'' "They say I must come." | |||
By means of ''ise'' or ''-(y)se'', a verb can be made '''conditional''' in the sense of being the hypothesis or protasis of a complex statement: | |||
:''önemli bir şey yapıyorsunuz'' "You are doing something important"; | |||
:''Önemli bir şey yapıyorsanız, rahatsız etmeyelim'' "If you are doing something important, let us not cause disturbance." | |||
The simple conditional can be used for remote conditions: | |||
:''Bakmakla öğrenilse, köpekler kasap olurdu'' "If learning by looking were possible, dogs would be butchers." |
