Learn Turkish: Yarın yeni bir bütçe yapacağım. - Tomorrow I will make a new budget.

The base future tense suffix for the verb yapmak is -acak. When we add the personal suffix for "I" (-ım), it theoretically forms -acakım. Because the k is now caught between two vowels (the a and the ı), it softens into a ğ (soft g). This consonant mutation always happens in the future tense for "I" (-acağım / -eceğim) and "we" (-acağız / -eceğiz).

Why is the word order yeni bir bütçe rather than bir yeni bütçe?

In Turkish, when an adjective (like yeni, meaning "new") and the indefinite article bir ("a" or "an") describe the same noun, the adjective almost always comes before bir. The standard rule to remember is Adjective + bir + Noun.

Is yapmak the standard verb to use with bütçe (budget)?

Yes! In Turkish, the standard phrase for "making a budget" is bütçe yapmak. Since yapmak translates to both "to do" and "to make," this works exactly like the English expression.
