Questions & Answers about Hemen taşınmak istiyorum çünkü ev çok küçük.
Why do we use the full dictionary form taşınmak before istiyorum?
When you want to say you want to do an action, you use the infinitive (the dictionary form ending in -mak or -mek) right before the conjugated form of istemek (to want). Because you are both the one wanting and the one moving, only istiyorum needs the 'I' ending (-um).
Does taşınmak mean to move in any context, like moving my arm?
No, taşınmak specifically means moving to a new home or relocating. If you want to talk about physical movement, like moving your body or pushing an object, Turkish uses different verbs.
Why is there no word for 'is' in ev çok küçük?
In Turkish, you do not need a 'to be' verb (like 'is' or 'are') for basic descriptive sentences in the present tense. Just putting ev (house), çok (very), and küçük (small) together perfectly translates to 'the house is very small'.
Could I put hemen right before istiyorum instead of at the start?
Yes, but word order changes the emphasis. In Turkish, the word right before the main verb gets the most attention. Placing hemen at the beginning sets the urgency, while leaving taşınmak right before istiyorum keeps the main focus on the action of moving itself.
