Turkish conjugation rules — A1

Turkish does not have Portuguese-style -ar/-er/-ir groups. Most infinitives end in -mak or -mek. The present continuous uses the vowel-harmony suffix -(I)yor, followed by a person ending.

1. Remove -mak / -mek

konuşmak → konuş-
gelmek → gel-
gitmek → git-

These are the infinitive endings, not tense endings.

2. Choose the harmony vowel

Last stem vowel determines the suffix vowel:

a / ı → ıyor
e / i → iyor
o / u → uyor
ö / ü → üyor

This is a beginner guide; vowel-final stems and some irregular changes need additional rules.

3. Add the person ending

Ben -um/-üm/-ım/-im
Sen -sun/-sün/-sın/-sin
O no extra ending
Biz -uz/-üz/-ız/-iz
Siz -sunuz etc.
Onlar usually -lar/-ler

For our three verbs, the ending after -yor is: -um, -sun, —, -uz, -sunuz, -lar.

4. Important sound changes

gel- → geliyorum: -iyor after e.
konuş- → konuşuyorum: -uyor after u.
git- → gidiyorum: t becomes d before the vowel.

Turkish ı (dotless) and i (dotted) are different letters. Do not replace them.

Note: -(I)yor is often translated as “am/is/are …-ing,” but also expresses ongoing or routine actions in context. For a general habitual meaning, Turkish also uses the geniş zaman (aorist), which is a different tense.
