Akşam kabak çorbası yapmak istiyorum, yarın da patlıcan pişireceğim.

Akşam means in the evening / tonight, and here it is being used as a time expression.

Turkish often puts time words near the beginning of the sentence:

• Akşam kabak çorbası yapmak istiyorum.
• Literally: Evening pumpkin soup make want-I

This is very natural in Turkish. It sets the time first, then the rest of the message.

Also, akşam here does not need a case ending. Time expressions like bugün, yarın, akşam, sabah are often used directly as adverbs.

Kabak çorbası is a Turkish noun compound, meaning pumpkin soup.

This pattern is very common:

• domates çorbası = tomato soup
• mercimek çorbası = lentil soup
• tavuk çorbası = chicken soup

Structure:

• kabak = pumpkin / squash
• çorba = soup
• çorbası = its soup / pumpkin soup

In these compounds, the second noun usually takes the third-person possessive ending:

• çorba → çorbası

So even though English just says pumpkin soup, Turkish usually builds it as a compound noun.

In Turkish, yapmak is often used for making/preparing food, especially dishes like soup.

So:

• kabak çorbası yapmak = to make pumpkin soup

This is very natural Turkish.

By contrast, pişirmek means to cook in the sense of cooking food with heat:

• patlıcan pişirmek = to cook eggplant

So the sentence uses:

• çorba yapmak = make soup
• patlıcan pişirmek = cook eggplant

That difference is quite normal.

İstiyorum comes from the verb istemek, meaning to want.

Breakdown:

• iste- = verb stem
• -iyor = present continuous tense
• -um = I

So:

• istiyorum = I want

In Turkish, when one verb is followed by istemek, the first verb usually appears in the infinitive:

• yapmak istiyorum = I want to make
• gitmek istiyorum = I want to go
• öğrenmek istiyorum = I want to learn

So kabak çorbası yapmak istiyorum literally means I am wanting to make pumpkin soup, but in natural English that is just I want to make pumpkin soup.

Pişireceğim means I will cook.

It is built from:

• pişir- = cook
• -ecek / -acak = future tense
• -im / -ım / -um / -üm = I

Because of vowel harmony and sound changes, it becomes:

• pişir-ecek-im → pişireceğim

So:

• pişireceğim = I will cook

This kind of stacking is normal in Turkish. A lot of grammatical information is packed into one word.

More examples:

• gideceğim = I will go
• yapacağım = I will do / make
• alacağım = I will take / buy

The two halves express slightly different ideas:

• Akşam kabak çorbası yapmak istiyorum = I want to make pumpkin soup tonight
• yarın da patlıcan pişireceğim = and tomorrow I will cook eggplant too

The first half expresses a desire/intention:

• I want to...

The second half expresses a future plan:

• I will...

That combination is very natural. The speaker may be saying:

• tonight, this is what I feel like making
• tomorrow, this is what I’m going to cook

So the tense difference is meaningful, not random.

Here, da means something like also / too / as well.

So:

• yarın da patlıcan pişireceğim = tomorrow, I’ll cook eggplant too / as well

It connects the second idea to the first one:

• tonight I want to make pumpkin soup,
• and tomorrow too I’ll cook eggplant.

Important: this da is a separate word, not the locative ending -de/-da.

Compare:

• yarın da = tomorrow too
• evde = at home

So in your sentence, da is the additive particle too/as well.

Because this da is a separate particle, not a suffix.

Turkish has:

1. da/de as a separate word meaning also/too
2. -da/-de as an ending meaning in/on/at

Examples:

• Ben de geliyorum. = I’m coming too.
• Evdeyim. = I’m at home.

In your sentence:

• yarın da = tomorrow too

So it must be written separately.

A useful spelling rule:

• If it means also/too, write it separately.
• If it means in/on/at, attach it to the noun.

Turkish often leaves out subject pronouns when they are already clear from the verb ending.

For example:

• istiyorum already means I want
• pişireceğim already means I will cook

So adding ben is usually unnecessary:

• (Ben) kabak çorbası yapmak istiyorum.
• (Ben) patlıcan pişireceğim.

You can include ben for emphasis or contrast, but normally it is omitted.

This is one of the biggest differences from English, where the subject usually has to be stated.

Because the object here is indefinite / non-specific.

In Turkish:

• patlıcan pişireceğim = I will cook eggplant / some eggplant
• patlıcanı pişireceğim = I will cook the eggplant / that specific eggplant

This is related to the accusative case:

• definite/specific direct objects often take -(y)i
• indefinite/non-specific ones usually do not

Compare:

• Kitap okuyorum. = I’m reading a book / books
• Kitabı okuyorum. = I’m reading the book

So patlıcan without -ı sounds like a general food item, not a particular eggplant already identified.

By itself, patlıcan literally means eggplant / aubergine.

In a food context, Turkish often uses the ingredient name alone when the exact dish is not important or is understood from context:

• Bugün patates yapacağım. = Today I’ll make potatoes / a potato dish.
• Yarın patlıcan pişireceğim. = Tomorrow I’ll cook eggplant / an eggplant dish.

So it does not necessarily mean one whole eggplant. It often refers more generally to eggplant as the main ingredient.

Turkish word order is often described as Subject–Object–Verb, with time expressions commonly appearing early.

Your sentence is roughly:

• Akşam = time
• kabak çorbası = object
• yapmak = infinitive
• istiyorum = main verb

Then:

• yarın da = time + also
• patlıcan = object
• pişireceğim = verb

So the sentence follows a very Turkish pattern: important context first, verb near the end.

English says:

• I want to make pumpkin soup tonight. Turkish prefers:
• Tonight pumpkin soup to make I want.

That does not mean Turkish is rigid. Word order can change for emphasis, but the version you have is very natural.

Yes. Turkish allows some flexibility, especially for emphasis.

For example:

• Kabak çorbası yapmak istiyorum akşam, yarın da patlıcan pişireceğim.
• Akşam yapmak istiyorum kabak çorbası, yarın da patlıcan pişireceğim.

But these alternatives may sound marked, poetic, or emphasize different parts.

The original:

• Akşam kabak çorbası yapmak istiyorum, yarın da patlıcan pişireceğim.

is the most neutral and natural for everyday use.

It can often be understood as either this evening or tonight, depending on context.

Akşam literally means evening. In real-life speech, it can cover the period from evening into nighttime, so English translation may vary.

Examples:

• Akşam görüşürüz. = See you this evening / tonight.
• Akşam yemek yapacağım. = I’ll cook this evening / tonight.

So if the meaning already shown to the learner says tonight, that is a very natural interpretation.

No extra ending is needed. Yarın already means tomorrow.

Turkish has many standalone time words:

• bugün = today
• yarın = tomorrow
• dün = yesterday
• akşam = evening / tonight
• sabah = morning

These can often function directly as adverbs:

• Yarın geleceğim. = I will come tomorrow.
• Bugün çalışıyorum. = I’m working today.

So yarın da simply means tomorrow too / also tomorrow.

They overlap sometimes, but they are not identical.

Yapmak

• broad meaning: to do / to make
• often used for preparing a dish, especially when thinking of the dish as a whole
• examples:
  • çorba yapmak = make soup
  • salata yapmak = make salad
  • yemek yapmak = cook / make food

Pişirmek

• means to cook with heat, or to cause food to become cooked
• examples:
  • eti pişirmek = cook the meat
  • patlıcan pişirmek = cook eggplant
  • fırında pişirmek = bake / cook in the oven

So in your sentence:

• çorba yapmak focuses on preparing the dish
• patlıcan pişirmek focuses on cooking the ingredient

Both choices are natural.

More or less, yes. The comma separates two closely connected clauses:

• Akşam kabak çorbası yapmak istiyorum
• yarın da patlıcan pişireceğim

In speech, you would usually pause slightly there.

You could also connect similar ideas with words like ve (and), but the comma alone is very normal in Turkish when listing related actions or plans.

Yes, you could say:

• Ben akşam kabak çorbası yapmak istiyorum, yarın da ben patlıcan pişireceğim.

But this sounds heavier than necessary unless you are emphasizing the subject.

More natural would be:

• Ben akşam kabak çorbası yapmak istiyorum, yarın da patlıcan pişireceğim.

Or simply the original sentence with no ben at all.

In Turkish, repeating the subject is often avoided unless it adds contrast, such as:

• Ben akşam kabak çorbası yapmak istiyorum, o ise yarın patlıcan pişirecek.
• I want to make pumpkin soup tonight, but he/she will cook eggplant tomorrow.
