Now I'm going to talk about how to form the negative of the future tense in Turkish
It's very simple all we're going to do is
between the verb stem and
our future tense suffixes and personal suffixes
we're going to insert a negative suffix according to the rules of two-way vowel harmony. Let's see how this works
We'll use the same two example verbs that we used when we were learning the affirmative of the future tense in Turkish
so we'll start with "ben": I
verb stem for the verb "gelmek": to come "gel-" and we'll simply insert a negative suffix
The negative suffix for the future tense follows the rules of two-way vowel harmony, so for "gel-" will choose "-me"
"Gelme-"
now
to the negative suffix we're going to attach a form of the future tense suffix,. In the negative of the future tense
we are always going to use this buffer "y"
because of course we use the buffer "y" when the verb stem ends in a vowel
with this negative
suffix attached "-me" or "-ma" it's always going to be ending in a vowel in the negative of the future tense, so
"Ben gelme-"
buffer "y", and
simply the appropriate form of the future tense suffix according to the rules of two-way vowel harmony so "-ecek"
And then we'll add the appropriate future tense personal suffix
Remember, though that in the future tense when "k" is sandwiched between
two vowels as it will be in the first person singular and the first person plural
it's going to undergo consonant alternation and
change into a yumuşak "g" a soft "g"
So "Ben gelmeyeceğim"
"Ben gelmeyeceğim"
" Sen gelme-"
"y" buffer yeah, "-eceksin"
"Sen gelmeyeceksin.": You will not come
"O gelmeyecek"
"Biz gelmeyece-"
And again that "k" is going to be sandwiched between two vowels so "gelmeyeceğiz"
"Siz gelmeyeceksiniz"
"Siz gelmeyeceksiniz": You plural or formal will not come.
And finally "Onlar gelmeyecek-"
or optionally we can add a...
the plural suffix according to the rules of two-way vowel harmony, so on "onlar gelmeyecek" or "onlar gelmeyecekler" (optional)
Let's see how this will work with
another example verb "okumak": to read
"Ben oku-" verb stem
appropriate form of the negative suffix according to the rules of two-way vowel harmony
"Okuma-" buffer "y"
"-acağ"
consonant alternation
"-ım"
"Ben okumayacağım"
Or ""Okumayacağım"
"Sen okumayacaksın"
"O Okumayacak"
"Biz okumayaca..."
Consonant alternation
"...ğız"
"Biz okumayacağız"
"Siz okumayacaksınız"
"Okumayacaksınız": You plural or formal will not read
and finally "Onlar okuma-" buffer
"-yacak" or "Okumayacaklar"
They will not read
