To be[]
"To be" in Turkish is not a proper verb, but rather adds a suffix to the thing that the subject is "being". This suffix depends on the subject and 2- or 4-way vowel harmony denoted by A and I respectively:
| Pronoun | Ending | Example: mutlu |
|---|---|---|
| ben | -(y)Im | mutluyum |
| sen | -sIn | mutlusun |
| o | -dIr or nothing | mutludur/mutlu |
| biz | -(y)Iz | mutluyuz |
| siz | -sInIz | mutlusunuz |
| onlar | dIr or nothing (with onlar) or lAr or dInlAr | onlar mutludur/mutlu or mutlular/mutludunlar |
Not[]
Değil means "not" and is always the adjective that receives the ending (any other words come before the conjugated part, as usual).
