Sabah kahvaltısında armut yedim, akşam ise erik ve şeftali hazırlayacağım.

Because Turkish often drops subject pronouns when the verb already shows who the subject is.

• yedim = I ate
• hazırlayacağım = I will prepare

The endings -dim / -acağım already tell you the subject is first person singular, so ben is unnecessary unless you want extra emphasis.

Turkish word order is often Subject–Object–Verb, and the verb usually comes at the end.

So in this sentence:

• Sabah kahvaltısında armut yedim
• akşam ise erik ve şeftali hazırlayacağım

the fruits come before the verbs, and the time expressions come early in the sentence.

That said, Turkish word order is also fairly flexible. Speakers often move parts around for focus or contrast. Here, sabah and akşam are placed prominently because the sentence is contrasting morning and evening.

kahvaltısında breaks down like this:

• kahvaltı = breakfast
• -sı = a possessive/compound marker
• -nda = in / at / during

So kahvaltısında means something like at his/her/its breakfast on its own, but in this sentence it is part of the compound phrase sabah kahvaltısı = morning breakfast / breakfast in the morning.

Then:

• sabah kahvaltısı
  • -nda
• becomes sabah kahvaltısında

So the whole phrase means at breakfast in the morning or simply at breakfast.

The -s- is not random; it appears as part of the noun compound structure.

It is understandable and can sound natural, especially when the speaker wants to contrast morning and evening.

But in many everyday situations, Turkish speakers might simply say:

• Kahvaltıda armut yedim.
• Sabah armut yedim.

So yes, sabah kahvaltısında is a little more explicit than necessary, but not wrong. It works well here because the sentence clearly sets up a contrast with akşam.

Turkish does not have articles like English a/an and the.

Instead, Turkish usually shows these ideas through:

• context
• word order
• case marking, especially the accusative

For example:

• armut yedim = I ate a pear / pear / some pear
• armudu yedim = I ate the pear / that specific pear

So English uses articles, but Turkish usually does not.

Because they are being used as indefinite or non-specific direct objects.

In Turkish:

• bare noun = usually non-specific / indefinite
• accusative-marked noun = usually specific / definite

So:

• armut yedim = I ate pear / a pear / some pear
• armudu yedim = I ate the pear

And similarly:

• erik ve şeftali hazırlayacağım = I will prepare plum(s) and peach(es), not specifically identified ones
• eriği ve şeftaliyi hazırlayacağım = I will prepare the specific plum and the specific peach

This is one of the biggest differences from English.

Yes. In Turkish, a bare noun can sometimes be understood as generic, indefinite, or even plural-like, depending on context.

So:

• armut yedim could mean I ate a pear or more loosely I ate pear
• erik ve şeftali hazırlayacağım could mean I will prepare plums and peaches or some plum and peach

Turkish does not always mark plural when English would. If the exact number matters, Turkish can make it explicit, but often it leaves it to context.

ise adds contrast. In this sentence, it works like:

• as for
• whereas
• on the other hand
• however

So:

• akşam ise = as for the evening / in the evening, however

It helps set up the contrast between:

• Sabah ... yedim
• akşam ise ... hazırlayacağım

Without ise, the sentence would still be grammatical, but ise makes the contrast clearer and smoother.

yedim comes from the verb yemek = to eat.

Breakdown:

• verb stem: ye-
• past tense suffix: -di
• first person singular ending: -m

So:

• ye + di + m → yedim

This is the simple past tense, often used for completed actions:

• I ate

It comes from hazırlamak = to prepare.

Step by step:

• stem: hazırla-
• future tense suffix: -(y)acak
• first person singular ending: -ım

So:

• hazırla + yacak + ım
• becomes hazırlayacağım

Two things to notice:

• The y appears because the stem ends in a vowel and the suffix begins with a vowel-like element.
• The k in -acak becomes ğ before the personal ending that starts with a vowel.

So hazırlayacakım is not correct; the correct form is hazırlayacağım.

Meaning:

• I will prepare

Not necessarily. In Turkish, many time words can be used directly as adverbs without any extra ending.

So:

• sabah = in the morning / morning
• akşam = in the evening / evening
• yarın = tomorrow
• bugün = today

Here, akşam functions as a time expression by itself, so no case ending is required.

You could compare:

• Akşam geleceğim. = I will come in the evening.
• Sabah çıktım. = I left in the morning.

A few useful points:

• ı = a vowel with no exact English equivalent. It is a back, unrounded vowel, somewhat like a relaxed vowel in the middle of the mouth.
  Example: kahvaltı, hazırlayacağım

• ş = sh as in shoe
  Example: şeftali

• ğ = usually very soft; in modern Turkish it often lengthens the previous vowel or creates a slight glide rather than being strongly pronounced as a consonant
  Example: hazırlayacağım

Also:

• c in Turkish is pronounced like English j in jam
• ç is like English ch
• e is usually a clear eh
• r is usually lightly tapped

ve is the normal word for and when joining nouns, phrases, or clauses.

So:

• erik ve şeftali = plum and peach

ile usually means with, although in some contexts it can function similarly to and. But here, ve is the most natural and straightforward choice.

So a learner should understand:

• ve = standard and
• ile = usually with

You would usually add the accusative to the direct objects.

For example:

• Sabah kahvaltısında armudu yedim = I ate the pear
• Akşam ise eriği ve şeftaliyi hazırlayacağım = In the evening, however, I will prepare the plum and the peach

This is a very important contrast in Turkish:

• bare object = non-specific
• accusative object = specific

That is one reason Turkish can express distinctions that English often handles with a/the.
