So I guess I should start of this post sharing that I figured out the mystery of the potential tense. It turns out that it’s not as hard as I thought it was. I think that there was mostly a misunderstanding between Gökhan and I so I kinda freaked out and shut down. In that lesson, we had already gone two hours covering other material so I was probably a little stressed. In the event that you are curious how to say them, gelemem (I cannot come), gelmeyebilirim (I may not come), gelemeyebilirim (I may not be able to come) are the forms and they all come from the verm gelmek (to come). I think I am getting to the point where all of these suffixes are starting to look the same so I am going to review them more with Gökhan to make sure that I understand them.
Aside from those, Gökhan and I made a mind map of daily things (e.g. bed, closet, spoon, fork, knife, glasses) and also of the airport (e.g. security, make an anouncement, baggage). I thought that it was a nice and new way to learn vocabulary that I hadn’t considered before. We covered a lot of words so I have a lot of review to do but I am interested in the activity and look forward to doing this with other languages that I study.
