Questions & Answers about Öğleden sonra meydanda dolaşacağız.
How is the future tense built in dolaşacağız?
The verb root is dolaş- (to wander). Because it ends in a consonant, we do not need the buffer letter y. We just add the future suffix -acak following vowel harmony rules.
If the future suffix is -acak, why is there a ğ in dolaşacağız?
When we add the 'we' personal ending -ız, the k at the end of -acak sits between two vowels. In Turkish, k softens into a 'soft g' (ğ) in this position to make it easier to say. So, dolaşacak-ız turns into dolaşacağız.
Why does öğleden sonra use the 'from' ending (-den)?
The word sonra (after) requires the noun before it to take the ablative ('from') case. So to say 'after noon', Turkish literally says 'after from noon' (öğle-den sonra).
Does meydanda mean 'in the geometric square'?
No, meydan specifically means a public plaza, city square, or open space. If you want to talk about the mathematical shape 'square', you would use the word kare.
