GRAMMATICAL NOTES
The future tense in Turkish is very easy to form. It follows the usual pattern "infinitive stem + tense suffix + personal suffix.
It is appropriate here to point out that this structure corresponda to the different form of future in English.
This construction can be used to express the range of future tenses in English.
It's also useful to remind you that simple present can be used to express future.
In this case the suffixes used to conjugate the future tense are -(y)ecek (ğ) and -(y)acak (ğ) depending on the infinitive whether rounded or unrounded.
In other word in case of infinitives ending in -MEK, the future tense takes -(y)ecek (ğ).
Viceversa the infinitives ending in -MAK take -(y)acak (ğ) .
The buffer letter 'Y' is used in case the infinitive stem ends in vowel.
The mutation of K in Ğ occurs at the 1st person singular and plural for eufonic reasons.
Infinitive stem+
Future suffixes-(y)ecek (ğ) or -(y)acak (ğ) +
Personal suffixes
