Frequently asked questions

What is the past tense of acele etmek?

The definite past (-DI) of acele etmek is acele ettim (I hurried), acele ettin, acele etti, acele ettik, acele ettiniz, acele ettiler. The negative is acele etmedim (I did not hurry), and the reported past is acele etmiş (he/she apparently hurried).

Is acele etmek irregular?

Its endings are regular, but the stem changes: et- becomes ed- before a vowel (acele ediyorum, acele edeceğim, acele eder) and stays et- before a consonant (acele ettim, acele etmeliyim). Only a few verbs soften like this: gitmek, etmek and its compounds, and tatmak.

How do you say "I will hurry" in Turkish?

"I will hurry" is acele edeceğim. "I won't hurry" is acele etmeyeceğim, and "Will you hurry?" is acele edecek misin? For plans you have already made, Turkish also uses the present continuous: acele ediyorum.
