'If.....' Apparently Necessity   Future Tense The suffix to say 'i will...' is 'ben ...(y)eceim' Just like with the present tense and the future tense, the ending will change according to vowel harmony. If the last vowel in the verb is e/i/ö/ü, then the suffix will be '-(y)eceim' If the last vowel in the verb is a//o/u, then the suffix will be '(y)acam (the 'y' in the bracket is only used if the last letter in the verb is a vowel.) (to emphasise the sentence, eg 'I will go, you will not', add the personal pronoun before the verb eg 'ben gideim, sen gitmeyeceksin')   Personal endings   I will... = '...(y)eceim' or '...(y)acam' You will...(singular/familiar) = '...(y)eceksin' or '...(y)acaksn' He/She/It will... = '...(y)ecek' or '...(y)acak' We will... = '(y)eceiz' or '...(y)acaz' You will...(plural/polite) = '...(y)eceksiniz' or '...(y)acaksnz' They will... = '...(y)ecekler' or '...(y)acaklar'   examples come - gel i will come - geleceim   be - ol you will be - olacakn   drink - iç he will drink - içecek   want - iste we will want - isteyeceiz   walk - yürü you will walk - yürüyeceksiniz   jump - atla they will jump - atlayacaklar   Future negative tense To make the future negative tense, simply add '-me/ma' after the verb then add the appropriate personal ending.   examples i will not come - gel-me -yeceim you will not jump - atla-ma -yacaksn etc   Asking questions in the future tense   We add the question marker '-mi' (or 'm/mü/mu) after the future suffix to make a sentence into a question. To ask a positive question in the future tense, you must follow this formula; verb + future suffix + mi +personal ending examples gel + ecek + mi + yim = gelecek miyim? = will i come? otur + acak + m  + sn = oturacak m sn? = will you sit? iç + ecek + mi = içecek mi? = will he drink? gel + me + yecek misin? = will you not come? etc   (to say 'will they...?', the question marker '-mi' always comes at the end of the sentence after the personal ending example gel-ecek-ler mi? = will they come?     Test Yourself!   Using the following vocabulary, translate the sentences below from English to Turkish.   gel - come think - düün drink - iç walk - yürü want - iste be - ol jump - atla   example - i will walk - yürüyeceim 1) you (singular/familiar) will be - _______________ 2) he will walk - ________________ 3) will they think? - _______________ 4) i will not jump - _________________ 5) will you (plural/polite) come? - ___________________ 6) they will be - ___________________ 7) we will not drink - _________________   Translate the following sentences from Turkish to English. example - olaca z - we will be 1) düünmeyeceksiniz - _______________ 2) olacaklar - _______________ 3) gelmeyeceim - __________________ 4) içecek mi? - _________________ 5) atlayacaksn - ____________________ 6) yürümeyecek miyiz? - ___________________ 7) olmayacaksn - ______________ 8) gelecekler - _________________     Answers 1) you (singular/familiar) will be - olacaksn 2) he will walk - yürüyecek 3) will they think? - düünecekler mi? 4) i will not jump - atlamayaca m 5) will you (plural/polite) come? - gelecek misiniz? 6) they will be - olacaklar 7) we will not drink - içmeyece z   1) düünmeyeceksiniz - you will not think 2) olacaklar - they will be 3) gelmeyeceim - i will not come 4) içecek mi? -  will he drink? 5) atlayacaksn - you will jump 6) yürümeyecek miyiz? - will we not walk? 7) olmayacaksn - you will not be 8) gelecekler - they will come       learn-turkish@hotmail.com   Useful Info Useful Words 1 Useful Words 2 (inc.
