Learn Turkish: İşe dönmeden önce, yazlıkta bir hafta dinleniyor olacağız. - Before returning to work, we will be resting at the summer house for a week.

In compound tenses like the Future Continuous, the main verb takes the primary tense marker (here, the continuous -iyor). The auxiliary verb olmak (to be) acts as the helper, so it takes the secondary tense marker (the future -acak) and the personal suffix (the "we" ending -ız). It literally translates to "resting we-will-be".

What is the difference between saying dinleneceğiz and dinleniyor olacağız in this sentence?

Dinleniyor olacağız (we will be resting) emphasizes the ongoing, continuous nature of the action during that specific future week. It paints a picture that they will be in the middle of a relaxing process. Dinleneceğiz (we will rest) would simply state the future fact without emphasizing the duration.

Why is it dönmeden önce? Can I just say dönmekten önce?

No, using the infinitive like dönmekten önce is a common mistake for English speakers. To say "before doing [action]" in Turkish, you must use the verb stem + -mAdAn önce. It helps to memorize it alongside its opposite: -dIktAn sonra (after doing).

Why is there no Turkish word for "for" in the phrase bir hafta (for a week)?
