Questions & Answers about Bankaya gideyim, bugün kredi çekeceğim.
Why is there a ğ in çekeceğim instead of a k?
The root verb is çekmek (to pull). When we add the future tense suffix -ecek, we get çekecek. However, because the first person suffix -im (I) starts with a vowel, the k at the end of -ecek softens into a ğ. So, çekecek + im becomes çekeceğim.
Does çekmek always mean "to take out a loan"?
The basic meaning of çekmek is "to pull" or "to draw." In Turkish, you "pull" a loan from the bank, so the standard phrase for "taking out a loan" is kredi çekmek. You will also see this verb used for withdrawing cash (para çekmek) or taking a photo (fotoğraf çekmek).
Why is the verb gideyim spelled with a d instead of a t?
The root verb is gitmek (to go). When we add a suffix starting with a vowel, the hard t softens to a d. Here, we add the "let me" suffix -eyim, making it gideyim. This is the exact same consonant mutation rule that changes the k to ğ in çekeceğim!
What does the -eyim ending on gideyim mean?
