Questions & Answers about Yarın istatistikleri bu grafikte gösteriyorum.
Why use the present continuous gösteriyorum (I am showing) when the sentence happens Yarın (tomorrow)?
Just like in English, Turkish often uses the present continuous tense (the -iyor suffix) to talk about fixed plans in the future. The word Yarın makes it clear you mean tomorrow, so you don't necessarily need the future tense ending -ecek.
Why is there an -i at the very end of istatistikleri?
The base word is istatistik (statistic). First we add -ler to make it plural (statistics). Then we add the accusative case ending -i because it is the specific direct object of the verb. You aren't just showing some statistics in general; you are showing the specific statistics.
Why does grafikte (on the graph) end in -te instead of the usual locative ending -de?
This happens because of consonant assimilation. Grafik ends in k, which is a hard (voiceless) consonant. When you attach a suffix starting with d (like the locative -de for "in/on/at"), that d hardens into a t, making it -te.
Could I put bu grafikte at the beginning of the sentence?
Yes, but it changes the emphasis. In Turkish, the most important information usually goes right before the verb. By saying ...bu grafikte gösteriyorum, you are emphasizing where you are showing them. If you moved it to the start, you would be putting the emphasis on the statistics instead.
