I think according to Turkic grammar there are nominals, and verbals or something.
and there are separate endings for verbs, but what about nominals? I know of course that Turkic is not a one language, but it happens that I am learning a lot of Turkic languages, so I would be happy to hear about any of them. For example how to say things like: I want to be rich the girl became pretty. I am gueessing you would use bo'lmoq in Uzbek, but I am only guessing. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

As far as I know, this is how it is in Turkish:
I want to be rich: zengin olmak/olmam istiyorum the girl became pretty: kız güzel oldu 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Yes, again, I am speaking only for Turkish, olmak in turkish means both "to be" and "to become"
to not be confused with ölmek which is to die 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

hm, I see.
I was asking, since you cannot add tense to an adjective. In Indo-European you alsways use the verb "to be" then. but I had no idea how Turkic ones would deal with it. hmm, I m learning Turkish, Uzbek and Kazakh, and some Uighur most seriously(and few others less seriously). but I think even if there would be some answer about ohter one, it could prove useful to people who sutdy them. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Actually, you don't always have to use olmak (to be/become). You can change the adjective to the person being described. In Turkish, for example: "Yorgunum" - I'm tired. You could change that to past tense by saying "Yorgundum" - I was tired. And it matches the tense of the rest of a more complex sentence: "Eve döndük daha hala yorgunduk" - We got back home, still very tired. I guess it varies according to the adjective, whether you use olmak or not in common usage. R. == Edited by hrhenry on 21 December 2011 at 8:04pm 1 person has voted this message useful |
