Common mistakes with uyumak

  • uyur

    Vowel stems simply add -r in the aorist: uyur, uyurum. Don't mix up uyur (habit: "he/she sleeps") with uyuyor (right now: "he/she is sleeping"). Learn the rule →

  • Incorrect: uyumazımuyumam

    The negative aorist drops its -z in the first person: uyumam ("I do not sleep"), uyumayız — but uyumaz, uyumazsın. Learn the rule →

  • Incorrect: uyuyacakımuyuyacağım

    The k of -AcAk softens to ğ before a vowel: uyuyacağım, uyuyacağız — but uyuyacak and uyuyacaksın keep it. Learn the rule →
