Can is the fifty-fourth skill (assuming read left to right) in the language tree for Turkish. It has a total of three lessons and teaches the tense that Turkish uses when expressing whether or not they are able to do something.
Grammar Notes[]
To show whether you "can" do something, Turkish uses the verb bilmek, but as an ending sandwiched between two other endings:
- Stem + (y)A + bil + aorist ending
To say you "cannot" do something, switch the -bil- for -mA- and use negative aorist endings:
- Stem + (y)A + mA + negative aorist ending
If you want to explain that you "could" do something in the past, add the past particle -dI- after the -bil-.
