Lesson 4 Daily Activities Günlük Aktiviteler This lesson will introduce you to: - How to ask for and tell time - Typical daily activities in Turkish - The verbs to go, to study, to play, to work, to watch, to read, to eat, and to get up - The past tense of the verbs. Grammar Note: Telling Time It s very easy to ask the time in Turkish. Saat kaç? (What time is it?) We have a formula to make telling the time just as easy. var geçiyor (to) (past) It s (x) to (y). It s (x) past (y). Suffix Suffixation Saat (y) + one of the following (x) var. Saat (y) + one of the following (x) geçiyor. - e / -a -i -ye / -ya -u / -ü -yı / -yi To say It s (x) to (y), we say Saat (y)e (x) var. Notice how the place of x and y is reversed. If the word (numerical) ends with a consonant we add e or a to the numerical. Example: Saat beşe on var. (It s ten to five.) (Unlike English to five comes first.) Saat dokuza çeyrek var. (It s a quarter to nine.) If the word (numerical) ends with a vowel we add ye or ya to the numerical. Example: Saat ikiye yirmi var. (It s twenty to two.) Saat altıya (çeyrek) var. (It s a quarter to six.) To say It s (x) past (y), we say Saat (y)i (x) geçiyor. Look at the following examples how we use the suffixes for these structures. Saat biri beş geçiyor. (It s five past one.) Saat ikiyi on geçiyor. (It s ten past two.) Saat üçü / dokuzu çeyrek geçiyor. (It s quarter past three /nine.) Saat altıyı / yediyi çeyrek geçiyor. (It s quarter past six /seven.) Saat onu yirmi geçiyor. (It s twenty past ten.) 52

Remember the vowel harmony rule. Although the structures above are the most common way of telling time in Turkish, it is becoming very common to tell the time as it is written in numeric form. Examples: 5:10 Saat beş on. (It s five ten.) 3:30 Saat üç otuz. (It s three thirty.) 10:45 Saat on kırkbeş. (It s ten forty-five.) 1. Listen as the speaker tells time in Turkish. Repeat after the speaker. What time is it? It is four o clock. Saat kaç? Saat dört. What time is it? It is four fifteen. Saat kaç? Saat dört on beş. What time is it? It is four thirty. Saat kaç? Saat dört otuz. What time is it? It is four forty-five. Saat kaç? Saat dört kırk beş. What time is it? It is three twenty. Saat kaç? Saat üç yirmi. What time is it? It is three forty. Saat kaç? Saat üç kırk. 53

2. What time is it? Fill in the clock faces with the correct times according to how they are listed in Turkish below. A. üç otuz E. on üç elli beş B. sekiz kırk beş F. on iki C. altıyı on geçiyor G. dört on beş D. on bir otuz A. B. C. D. E. F. G. 3. Listen to the following exchanges and identify the clock time mentioned in each. Check your work with the answer key. A. 8:15-9:00 B. 9:50-9:15 C. 5:10-8:50 D. 4:13-4:30 E. 7: 50-7:10 54

4. Compose dialogues according to the model below. Work in pairs or in small groups. Use the times listed below. Model: A. - Saat kaç? B. - Saat öğlenden sonra iki. 8:00 am, 7:15 am, 10:30 am, 2:10 pm, 4:45 pm, 6:50 pm, 12:00, 11:05 Grammar Note: Past Tense Verbs To get the infinitive forms of the verbs in Turkish we add the suffixes -mek / -mak to the end of the verbs. We have to follow the vowel harmony rule. If the root of the verb ends with a front vowel (e, i, ö, ü) we add -mek to the verb. If the root of the verb ends with a back vowel (a, ı, o, u) then we add -mak to the verb. Examples: Fiil kökü (Verb root) + mek / mak Gitmek (To go) Oyna-mak (To play) (Bir işte) Çalışmak (To work (somewhere)) (Ders) Çalışmak (To study) Yemek (To eat) İzlemek (To watch) Okumak (To read) Kalkmak (To get up) Suffixation of verbs to form Simple Present Tense: Delete the infinitive suffixes -mek / -mak If the root of the verb ends with a vowel add r to the root of the verb and then add the personal suffix. (Remember the Vowel Harmony rule.) Examples: Infinitive(Mastar) Verb Root(Fiil Kökü) Simple Present Form yemek (to eat) ye (eat) ye-r-im / ye-r-sin / ye-r (I / You / He / She eat(s)) ye-r-iz / ye-r-siniz / ye-r-ler (we / you / they eat) izlemek (to watch) izle (watch) izle-r-im / izle-r-sin /izle-r (I / You / He/ She/ eat(s)) izle-r-iz / izle-r-siniz / izle-r-ler (We/ You /They eat) If the root of the verb ends with a consonant, add one of the following to the root of the verb and then the personal suffix: -ar, -er, -ır, -ir, -ur, -ür Examples: Infinitive(Mastar) Verb Root(Fiil Kökü) Simple Present Form (ders) çalışmak çalış (study) çalış-ır-ım/çalış-ır-sın/çalış-ır (I/You/S/he (to study) çalış-ır-ız/çalış-ır-sınız/çalış-ır-lar We/You/They study/studies) 55

Kalkmak kalk kalk-ar-ım/kalk-ar-sın/kalkar/ (I/You/S/he (to get up) (get up) kalk-ar-ız/kalk-ar-sınız /kalk-ar-lar We/You/They get(s) up) The following single syllable verbs are exceptions to the above suffixation rules. While all other single syllable verbs takes the suffixes ar or er, the following 12 verbs take the suffixes -ır, -ir, -ur, or, -ür. Exceptions to single syllable verbs: almak (to take) bilmek (to know) bulmak (to find) durmak(to stop) gelmek (to come) görmek (to see) kalmak (to stay) olmak (to become) ölmek (to die) sanmak(to suppose) vermek (to give) varmak (to arrive) Also, the following are 5 verbs that soften their final -t to -d when forming Simple Present Tense: Infinitive(Mastar) Verb Root(Fiil Kökü) Simple Present Form gitmek(to go) git (go) gid-er-im / gid-er-sin/gid-er (I/You/S/he go(es)) gid-er-iz/ gid-er-siniz/gid-er-ler (I/You/S/he go) The other 4 verbs are: etmek (to do), tatmak (to taste), ditmek (to shred)and gütmek (to herd). I go Ben giderim I study Ben ders çalışırım you go Sen gidersin you study Sen çalışırsın he goes O gider he studies O çalışır we go Biz gideriz we study Biz çalışırız you go Siz gidersiniz you study Siz çalışırsınız they go Onlar giderler they study Onlar çalışırlar I work Ben çalışırım I watch Ben izlerim you work Sen çalışırsın you watch Sen izlersin he works O çalışır he watches O izler we work Biz çalışırız we watch Biz izleriz you work Siz çalışırsınız you watch Siz izlersiniz they work Onlar çalışırlar they watch Onlar izlerler I eat Ben yerim I read Ben okurum you eat Sen yersin you read Sen okursun he eats O yer he reads O okur we eat Biz yeriz we read Biz okuruz you eat Siz yersiniz you read Sen okursun they eat Onlar yerler they read Onlar okurlar I play Ben oynarım I get up Ben kalkarım you play Sen oynarsın you get up Sen kalkarsın he plays O oynar he gets up O kalkar you play Siz oynarsınız you get up Siz kalkarsınız they play Onlar oynarlar they get up Onlar kalkarlar we play Biz oynarız we get up Biz kalkarız 56

5. Listen to the short statements that describe each activity in the pictures below. Repeat after the speaker. Pay attention to new verbs and other new vocabulary. Onlar basketbol oynarlar. They play basketball. O markete gider. She goes to the market. Onlar okulda ders çalışırlar. They study at school. O hastanede çalışır. She works in the hospital. O futbol oynar. He plays soccer. Kız öğlen yemeğini yer. The girl eats lunch. 57

Adam bir kitap okur. The man reads a book. Kadın televizyon izler. The woman watches television. Grammar Note: Prepositions In Turkish we use the prepositions -de / -da (or te, -ta) to express location and time. Examples: Location: Evde (At home) Okulda (At school) Otobüste (In the bus) Ankara da (In Ankara) Uçakta (In the plane) İşte (At work) Time: Eylülde (In September) Saat 10 da (At 10:00 o clock) Dolapta (In the cabinet) BUT Pazar günü Pazatesi günü Salı günü (On Sunday) (On Monday) (On Tuesday) When we are talking about a particular day of the week, we add the suffix ü to the and of gün (day). This rule is valid for all days of the week. Although Turkish doesn t have a definite article (the), the suffix ü functions as a definite article. The prepositions -e /-a (or -ye /-ya*) are used to express direction. Example : Direction : Eve Otobüse Okula (To the house) (To the bus) (To the school) Hint: Hastaneye Ankara ya Kışlaya (To the hospital) (To Ankara) (To the barracks) As a general rule two vowels do not occur one after the other in the same word. That is why the buffer letter -y is used when the word ends in a vowel. The buffer letter -y is only used with simple nouns which have not already been suffixed. (Examples: Hastaneye, Ankaraya, Kışlaya) 58
