In Lesson 37 we introduced the Future Tense in Turkish and its affirmative and egative forms.
Listen to the passage in Lesson 37 again to pick the verbs in future tense.
We will see now the two remaining forms, interrogative and interrogative-negative whose construction does not differ much from other tenses we have already touched in previous lessons.
Let's go straight into details then.
Infinitive stem+
Future suffixes -(y) ecek (ğ) or -(y)acak (ğ) +
Personal suffixes + (as in affimative and negative form)
Interrogative particles mi or mı
A few examples to make this concept clear:
Will you take that medicine?
O ilaçı alacak mısın?
Are they going to meet their friends?
Onlar arkadaşlarınla görüşecekler mi?
Will we watch that program?
O programı seyredecek miyiz?
Infinitive stem+
Negative particle me or ma
Future suffixes -(y) ecek (ğ) or -(y)acak (ğ) +
Personal suffixes + (as in affimative and negative form)
Interrogative particles mi or mı
As examples let's make negative those in interrogative form:
Won't you take that medicine?
O ilaçı almacak mısın?
Aren't they going to meet their friends?
Onlar arkadaşlarınla görüşmeyecekler mi?
Won't we watch that program?
O programı seyretmeyecek miyiz?
There is not much to add here than the fact that we use the buffer letter "Y" to liaise two consecutive vowels.
Try to practice more on this future forms by conjugating in interrogative and interrogative-negative the verbs given in Lesson 37.
