Questions & Answers about Yarın tatile gidiyoruz.
How would I ask "When are we going on holiday?" based on this sentence?
You would replace the time word Yarın (tomorrow) with the question word Ne zaman (when). The sentence becomes: Ne zaman tatile gidiyoruz? In Turkish, time words and time questions usually go near the beginning of the sentence.
Why is there an -e at the end of tatile?
The base word for holiday is tatil. The -e is a suffix showing direction, meaning "to". While in English you go "on" holiday, Turkish uses the logic of going "to" a holiday (tatile).
The dictionary says the verb for "go" is gitmek. Why does it have a "d" in gidiyoruz?
This happens due to a pronunciation rule called consonant mutation. When the verb root git is followed by a suffix starting with a vowel, like the -i in -iyor, the hard t softens to a d to make it easier to say.
If this happens tomorrow, why do we use the present continuous tense -iyoruz?
Just like in English, Turkish can use the present continuous tense (-iyor) to talk about fixed, planned events in the future. Saying "We are going tomorrow" works exactly the same way in both languages!
