Questions & Answers about Fotoğrafları akşam sana yollarım.

Why use the aorist tense yollarım here instead of the future tense yollayacağım?

While yollayacağım (I am going to send) states a definite, pre-planned action, the aorist yollarım (I'll send) acts as a casual promise or a spontaneous decision made at the moment of speaking. It gives off a friendly 'Don't worry, I'll get those to you' vibe.

Why is it just akşam and not akşamda to mean 'in the evening'?

In Turkish, words for general parts of the day like sabah (morning), akşam (evening), and gece (night) act as adverbs of time all on their own. Adding the locative suffix -da/-de is grammatically incorrect for these specific words when saying when something happens.

Is there a difference between using yollarım and gönderirim in this sentence?

Both mean 'I will send' and are perfectly interchangeable here. Göndermek is the standard, slightly more formal verb for sending. Yollamak comes from the word yol (way/path) and is very common in everyday, casual speech.

I always forget the rule—why is the aorist suffix just -r here instead of -ar or -ır?
