Future Tense

Tenses

There are 5 fundamental tenses in Turkish. These are:

Present simple tense (Geni zaman)

Present continuous tense (imdiki zaman)

Future tense (Gelecek zaman)

Past tense with di (di'li geçmi zaman) > Regular past tense

Past tense with mi (mi'li geçmi zaman) > Also called the story past tense

In the basic grammar lessons, we will cover the present continuous tense and the future tense. Rest will be covered in the

intermediate level lessons.

To start with, let's review some verbs we'll use in the following lessons and their meanings:

gelmek > to come

gitmek > to go

okumak > to read

kapatmak > to close

komak > to run

aramak > to call

konumak > to talk

vermek > to give

kaynamak > to boil

çalımak > to work

yemek > to eat

beklemek > to wait

The meaning of tenses are given using some suffixes. There are some important properties common to all these suffixes

denoting tense:

The suffix for tenses is added right after the verb root if the verb is positive, or after the negating suffix if the verb is

negative.

The present tense for of 'to be' comes after the suffix for tense.

Therefore, the order becomes: verb root + (negative) + tense + present tense to be

This is different only for the regular past tense, where past tense form of to be is used.

2. Future tense (Gelecek zaman)

The suffix for future tense in Turkish is ecek . There are not two different cases like in English will and is going to. Future

tense is always constructed using the suffix ecek . The uses of the Turkish future tense is just like a union of the uses of

will and going to in English.

To express any action that will take place in the future.

Future tense is used only for verbs, it is not meaningful for nouns and adjectives.

Future tense of a verb is constructed this way:

verb root + (negative) + ecek + present tense to be

When you want to append the suffix ecek to a verb that ends with a vowel, you add the fusion consonant ' y ' between the

verb and the suffix to separate the two vowels. Otherwise, just simply add the suffix ecek . Be careful about the harmony

rules though, as always. Let's see how future tense is obtained using some example verbs:

gelecek > gelecek > he will come

gitecekim > gideceğim > I will go

okueceksin > okuyacaksın > you will read

kapatecekiz > kapatacağız > we will close

koeceksiniz > koacaksınız > you will run (plural you)

araecekler > arayacaklar > they will call

konumeecek > konumayacak > he will not talk

vermeeceksin > vermeyeceksin > you will not give

To see the use of future tense with different cases of person, check the following table:

English

Turkish

to close --> kapatmak

i will close

(ben) kapatacakim > kapatacağım

you will close

(sen) kapatacaksin > kapatacaksın

he \

she | will close
