Turkish verb conjugation, built from the suffixes
Type a conjugated verb into Ekle and see which suffixes make it a past, a future or a conditional. Open the conjugation table to see every person and tense side by side. The breakdown is free; the full tables are part of Premium.
Two ways to read a verb form
Break a form apart. Type gelmeyecekler and Ekle shows gel-me-yecek-ler: the stem, the negation, the future and the third-person plural, each with its label. This works for any form in the app’s table and is free, offline and needs no account.
Open the whole table. For a verb, Ekle lays out the same stem in every tense and mood and every person, so you can see how gör-dü-m, gör-ecek-sin and gör-seydi-niz relate. This is the full paradigm, and it is a Premium feature.
What the tables cover
The verb tables cover nearly 1,900 of the most common Turkish verbs in 17 patterns: definite past (affirmative and negative), reported past, present continuous, future, aorist, necessitative, conditional, optative, imperative, ability, past continuous, past habitual, future in the past, pluperfect, past necessitative and past conditional. Each is shown across the six persons (the imperative has four).
Nouns get their own tables: case declension and possessive forms for roughly 26,000 nouns, which is the same suffix-stacking logic applied to nouns.
Why seeing the suffix stack helps
Turkish conjugation is not a list of irregular endings to memorise. It is a short chain of suffixes — negation, tense, person — whose vowels follow harmony rules. Once you see gör-dü-m as stem plus past plus first person, gel-di-n and oku-du-k are the same pattern.
That is also how Ekle names things: each segment carries a fixed colour order and a grammatical label, so a long form reads left to right.
What it is not, and where it stops
Ekle is a reference and a review tool, not a conjugation drill. You can save a verb and review it with spaced repetition, but the app does not quiz you on filling in endings.
The tables list standard affirmative forms, plus the negative definite past. Other negative forms you can still read through the breakdown, they just do not have a table of their own. Verbs outside the roughly 1,900 covered show their dictionary entry and breakdown but no table.
Free and Premium
Looking up and breaking down any form is free, as is saving words. Premium — $9.99 a month or $49.99 a year in US prices, shown in your own currency in the App Store — adds the full conjugation and declension tables, the explanation of what each suffix does, the A1–B2 grammar reference, the Reader and unlimited reviews. Ekle is available for iPhone (iOS 16.4 or later) only.
