Sample questions from the test
One question from each level. Try them, then open the answer to see the explanation.
- A1Vowel Harmony & Suffixes
Complete with the correct plural suffix:
Bu masa____ çok temiz.
(These tables are very clean.)
- A-ler
- B-dir
- C-lar
- D-den
Show answer
Answer: C – -lar
Two-way vowel harmony: the last vowel of 'masa' is the back vowel 'a', so the plural is '-lar' → 'masalar'. Words whose last vowel is a front vowel take '-ler' (ev → evler).
- A2Case Endings & Syntax
Choose the correct accusative (definite direct object) form of 'kitap':
Ahmet bu ____ okudu mu?
(Did Ahmet read this book?)
- Akitapta
- Bkitaba
- Ckitapı
- Dkitabı
Show answer
Answer: D – kitabı
Specific direct objects take the accusative '-ı/-i/-u/-ü'. After the back vowel 'a' it is '-ı', and the final 'p' of 'kitap' softens to 'b' before a vowel: kitap + ı → 'kitabı'. '*Kitapı' ignores the softening, 'kitaba' is dative (to the book) and 'kitapta' is locative (in the book).
- B1Case Endings & Syntax
Complete with the subject participle:
Kapıda bekle____ adam kim?
(Who is the man waiting at the door?)
- A-dik
- B-yen
- C-miş
- D-di
Show answer
Answer: B – -yen
When the noun being described is the subject of the action, Turkish uses the participle '-(y)an/-(y)en'. 'Bekle-' ends in a vowel, so a buffer 'y' is added: 'bekleyen adam' (the man who is waiting). '-dik' + possessive is used when the noun is the object, e.g. 'beklediğim adam' (the man I am waiting for).
- B2Verb Tenses & Modality
Complete with the construction meaning "as soon as":
Uçaktan in____ beni hemen ara.
(Call me right away as soon as you get off the plane.)
- A-meden önce
- B-dikten sonra
- C-erken
- D-er inmez
Show answer
Answer: D – -er inmez
Positive aorist + negative aorist of the same verb means 'as soon as': in-er in-mez = 'iner inmez' (as soon as you land). Likewise 'gelir gelmez' (as soon as he/she comes). '-meden önce' means 'before', '-dikten sonra' 'after' and '-erken' 'while'.
- C1Verb Tenses & Modality
What does this sentence express?
Bugün canım sıkkın, eve hiç gidesim yok.
- AI just don't feel like going home.
- BI am forbidden from going home.
- CI can't find my way home.
- DI will definitely go home later.
Show answer
Answer: A – I just don't feel like going home.
The colloquial suffix '-(y)AsI' + possessive, used with 'var/yok' or 'gelmek', expresses a desire or mood: 'gidesim yok' = 'I don't feel like going', 'gülesim geldi' = 'I felt like laughing'. Here: 'I'm feeling down today; I don't feel like going home at all.'
