Learn Turkish Lesson 37 - Reported Past Tense (Duyulan Geçmiş Zaman) 

Rica ederim. Başarılar 👍

This tense has 3 functions. One function has the meaning of "I heard that".

Gitmişim: i went (but i don’t remember it or i didn’t pay attention so i’m not sure about it) Gitmiştim: i had gone (past perfect tense)

With all due respect, I'd like to tell you that when you write the word 'I' in English you must capitalize it. There are two reasons for this rule: 1) it is an English language rule 2) 'I' is the most important word for each individual (after God) in this universe. Without 'I' we don't exist; therefore, it should never be minimized, but rather CAPITALIZED!!!!!😅😅😅😅 I believe this only happens with the English language. In Spanish I am 'yo' and in Turkish 'ben': nothing extraordinary.😢

Merhabalar. In order to improve your speaking and listening skills you can follow the tips below: 1- Choose a topic and talk about it to the wall as if you are talking to a person. 2- Record yourself speaking and listen afterwards to see your strong and weak points. 3- Watch Turkish series or programs with Turkish subtitles and repeat what you hear while watching. 4- Find some friends to practice with.

Merhabalar. Think like when that person wore that dress in her room you were not there, you didn't see that moment. You saw later, now.

Actually, we use prepositions with time but not in all cases. I went to Istanbul in May. = İstanbul'a mayısta gittim. I went to İstanbul at twelve o'clock = İstanbul'a saat on ikide gittim. I went to Istanbul last night = Geçen gece İstanbul'a gittim. I went to İstanbul in the weekend = İstanbul'a haftasonu gittim.

@@LearnTurkishvia are there specific rules for that, just wondering?

@@franceskan6860 Yes, there are a few rules. Basically, either we use no suffix or we use the suffixes "-de, - da" or "-leyin".

@@LearnTurkishvia but when to use and when not to use suffixes though?

@@franceskan6860 It's too long to explain it here. I need to make a video lesson about it soon.

I am planning to prepare a detailed lesson about it. For now take a look at this lesson: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-frGpKugoeck.html
