### Imminent Action (-mak üzere)

To express that an action is "about to" happen or on the verge of occurring, use the dictionary form of a verb (the infinitive ending in **-mak** or **-mek**) followed by the word **üzere**.

### Topic Postpositions: "About" and "Related To"

There are three common ways to express that something is "about," "related to," or "concerning" a topic or person. Each requires a specific case ending on the pronoun that comes before it:

- **hakkında** ("about"): Requires the genitive case (e.g., *onun*, *bunun*).
- **ile ilgili** ("related to"): Requires the pronoun to take the *ile* ending (e.g., *bununla*, *onunla*).
- **-A dair** ("concerning"): Requires the dative case (e.g., *şunlara*, *onlara*).

### Personalizing Postpositions and "üzere"

When using **hakkında** with first- or second-person pronouns ("me," "us," "you"), the postposition itself must take a matching possessive suffix. For example, *bizim* requires the ending *-ımız* on the postposition, making it **bizim hakkımızda**.

{{item:829856}}

Similarly, when the subject of an imminent action is a specific person or group, you must attach the standard "to be" personal endings directly to **üzere** (for example, **üzereler** for "they are about to").
