I keep trying to understand your language because I travel to Turkey at least twice a year so I need to know how to say ‘I don’t know/ inderstand

[@TurkishJourney]

That is great. I hope you already learned how to say "I do not know" in Turkish.. If you have further questions, let me know.

[@PhilipTait-oi2hm]

I just say ‘Ben tourist: Türkçe çok zor’ and shake my head, so they understand I cannot understand what they say.

[@TurkishJourney]

@@PhilipTait-oi2hm You can just say: "Ben turistim. Sizi anlayamıyorum. Kusura bakmayın lütfen." (I am a tourist. I am not able to understand you. I am sorry."

Does the past tense in Turkish need to know that table with the rules? need to decorate that table?

[@TurkishJourney]

Hi Christiano. Could you please elaborate your question?

[@cristianooliveira3978]

@@TurkishJourney In Turkish, is it possible to speak the language well without knowing the past tense table of suffixes? for example gelmek in the past it would be geldim that's what I meant because I'm having a bit of difficulty

[@TurkishJourney]

Thank you. No, unfortunately it is not possible to speak the language well without knowing them. Suffixes are the core of this language.. If you need further assistance please let me know. You can ask me if you have any questions as well.

[@TurkishJourney]

Hi Christiano. I think, you asked a question and then deleted it. Anyways, I received it via email. :) "Geldim" is the known past tense conjugation of the infinitiver verb "gelmek" (to come) for the first singular person. "Geldim" literally means " I came." or "I have come." In daily life, when we arrive home, to inform other at home, we say "Ben geldim.", again this literally means "I came." By saying this, what we mean is "I am at home." Hope this helps you. If you have further questions, just let me know.

Merhaba hocam!

[@TurkishJourney]

Merhaba.

[@PhilipTait-oi2hm]

Sorry, my last comment was sent without being completed; I wanted to say that you keep referring to a link below but on my iPad l cannot see a link any where. So, I cannot understand why bilmeyorum is wrong, nor can I find the explanation. Also, is there some way of finding your lessons in the order you made them, please?

[@TurkishJourney]

Okay, I keep referring to links in the description because it is important to learn other concepts. Normally, all of those links are in the description of the video but I am not sure how you can see it in an iPad. Anyways, why "bilmeyorum" is wrong is because of the "Vowel Mutation" (Ünlü daralması) in Turkish. Here is the link to that video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXelpIqwbbqeiac Here is the playlist where you can see all my videos in the order I posted.. kzbin.info/aero/PLASGkqfm55wTNcdTHNcwKx9cU_R8kytcX
