Turkish grammar

Turkish grammar (Türkçe dil bilgisi), as described in this article, is the grammar of standard Turkish as spoken and written by the majority of people in the Republic of Türkiye.

Turkish is a highly agglutinative language, in that much of the grammar is expressed by means of suffixes added to nouns and verbs. It is very regular compared with many European languages. For example, evlerden "from the houses" can be analysed as ev "house", -ler (plural suffix), -den (ablative case, meaning "from"); gidiyorum "I am going" as git "go", -iyor (present continuous tense), -um (1st person singular = "I").

Another characteristic of Turkish is vowel harmony. Most suffixes have two or four different forms, the choice between which depends on the vowel of the word's root or the preceding suffix: for example, the ablative case of evler is evlerden "from the houses" but, the ablative case of başlar "heads" is başlardan "from the heads".

Verbs have six grammatical persons (three singular and three plural), various voices (active and passive, reflexive, reciprocal, and causative), and a large number of grammatical tenses. Meanings such as "not", "be able", "should" and "if", which are expressed as separate words in most European languages, are usually expressed with verbal suffixes in Turkish. A characteristic of Turkish which is shared by neighboring languages such as Bulgarian and Persian is that the perfect tense suffix (in Turkish -miş-, -müş-, -mış-, or -muş-) often has an inferential meaning, e.g. geliyormuşum "it would seem (they say) that I am coming".

Verbs also have a number of participial forms, which Turkish makes much use of. Clauses which begin with "who" or "because" in English are generally translated by means of participial phrases in Turkish.

In Turkish, verbs generally come at the end of the sentence or clause; adjectives and possessive nouns come before the noun they describe; and meanings such as "behind", "for", "like/similar to" etc. are expressed as postpositions following the noun rather than prepositions before it.

Suffixes
A suffix (ek) is attached to a stem (gövde). A stem may be a root (kök) or further analyzable. The suffixes used in Turkish fall roughly into two classes: constructive suffixes (yapım ekleri) and inflectional suffixes (çekim ekleri). A constructive suffix makes a new word from an old one, that is, it is a derivational suffix. An inflectional suffix indicates how a word is used in a sentence. The article on Turkish grammar pertains chiefly to inflectional suffixes. The article on Turkish vocabulary treats the constructive suffixes.

The vowels of suffixes undergo vowel harmony. When a suffix is attached to a stem, the vowel in the suffix generally agrees in frontness or backness and in roundedness with the last vowel in the stem or of the preceding suffix.

Some suffixes show two-way vowel harmony between e and a, for example the plural suffix -ler/-lar. The e form is found after a syllable with i, e, ö or ü (e.g. evler "houses", günler "days"), and also after certain Arabic or French borrowings such as saatler "hours, clocks", kalpler "hearts". Other suffixes show four-way vowel harmony between i, ı, u, ü, for example the possessive ending -im/-ım/-um/-üm "my". These endings are found after syllables containing their own vowels or after e, a, o, ö respectively (e.g. evim "my house", gözüm "my eye", etc.)

A Turkish suffix can be called enclitic if its vowel undergoes vowel harmony, agreeing with the last vowel of the stem the suffix is attached to.

Gender
Turkish lacks grammatical gender. The English third-person singular pronouns she, he, and it all correspond to a single Turkish pronoun, o. Many given names in Turkish are unisex, so it is entirely possible to describe someone in the Turkish language without their gender being discernible from grammatical context.

Person
Turkish has a strong T–V distinction, using the second-person plural as the formal form, as in French and many other languages.

Turkish also uses various honorifics.

T–V distinction
Family members and friends speak to one another using the second singular person sen, and adults use sen to address minors. In formal situations (meeting people for the first time, business, customer-clerk, colleagues) plural second-person siz is used almost exclusively. In very formal situations, double plural second-person sizler may refer to a much-respected person. Rarely, third-person plural conjugation of the verb (but not the pronoun) may be used to emphasize utmost respect. In the imperative, there are three forms: second person singular for informal, second person plural for formal, and double plural second person for very formal situations. Thus, the imperative forms of the verb gelmek, "to come", are gel (second person singular, informal), gelin (second person plural, formal), and geliniz (double second-person plural, very formal). The very formal forms are not frequently used.

Honorifics
Turkish honorifics generally follow the first name, especially if they refer to gender or particular social statuses (e.g. Bey (Mr.), Hanım (Ms.), Öğretmen (teacher)). Such honorifics are used both in formal and informal situations. A newer honorific is Sayın, which precedes the surname or full name, and is not gender-specific. (e.g. Sayın Name Surname, or Sayın Surname, or Sayın Name Bey/Hanım). They are generally used in very formal situations. While these honorifics are normally used in pre-position to Turkish first names, for foreigners, names are preceded by Bay (Mr.) or Bayan (Ms.): Bay [Fox] Mulder, Bayan [Dana] Scully (cf. Fox [Mulder] Bey, Dana [Scully] Hanım, if these names were Turkish).

Turkish terminology
In the Turkish terms for the constructive and inflectional endings, three roots are involved: For the last two verbal roots, the constructive suffix -im can be added to form nouns for instances of the actions denoted by the roots: Either of these nouns can be compounded with the noun ek, resulting in an indefinite compound (belirtisiz tamlama), the sign of which is the inflectional suffix -i attached to ek: The inflectional suffix -ler comes before the -i to form the plural, so yapım ekleri, çekim ekleri.
 * ek "supplement, affix" (notably Turkish has no prefixes)
 * yap- "make"
 * çek- "pull, draw"
 * yapım "construction";
 * çekim "[a] pull or draw" (or a "take" in cinema).
 * yapım eki "structure-suffix";
 * çekim eki "inflection-suffix".

Many words in Turkish— particularly many grammatical terms— are neologisms invented to replace earlier words borrowed from Arabic or Persian, which have largely been successful at permanently superseding the previously used foreign terms. (See the main article on Turkish language.) In some cases, the foreign term continues to be in use alongside the neologism.

Parts of speech
There are nine parts of speech (söz türleri "word-kinds") in Turkish. Postpositions are analogous to prepositions in English, the main difference being that they follow their objects. Postpositions can be considered particles, but there are particles in Turkish that are not postpositions.
 * 1) noun (isim or ad "name");
 * 2) pronoun (zamir "inner being", or adıl from ad);
 * 3) adjective (sıfat "role, quality", or önad "front-noun");
 * 4) verb (fiil "act, deed", or eylem "action" from eyle- "make, do");
 * 5) adverb (zarf "envelope", or belirteç from belir- "determine");
 * 6) postposition (ilgeç from ilgi "interest, relation");
 * 7) conjunction (bağlaç from bağ "bond");
 * 8) particle (edat, or ilgeç);
 * 9) interjection (nidâ [dated], or ünlem from ün "fame, repute, sound").

Only nouns, pronouns and verbs are inflected in Turkish. An adjective can usually be treated as a noun or pronoun, in which case it can also be inflected. Inflection can give a noun features of a verb such as person and tense. With inflection, a verb can become one of the following: These have peculiarities not shared with other nouns, adjectives or adverbs. For example, some participles take a person the way verbs do. Also, a verbal noun or adverb can take a direct object. Some verbal nouns are not inflected forms in Turkish but are borrowed from Arabic or other languages.
 * verbal noun (isim-fiil);
 * verbal adjective (sıfat-fiil) or participle (ortaç);
 * verbal adverb (zarf-fiil; called a gerund by Lewis (1967)).

In Turkish, an ascriptive clause can be composed of a common noun standing alone as the Predicative, both the Subject and the Predicator being implicit and assumed from the situation. Example:
 * köpek – "dog"
 * Köpek. – "It is a dog."

This means that both a noun and a verb can alone constitute an affirmative clause in Turkish, which is not the case in English.

There are two standards for listing verbs in dictionaries. Most dictionaries follow the tradition of spelling out the infinitive form of the verb as the headword of the entry, but others such as the Redhouse Turkish-English Dictionary are more technical and spell out the stem of the verb instead, that is, they spell out a string of letters that is useful for producing all other verb forms through morphological rules. Similar to the latter, this article follows the stem-as-citeword standard.
 * Infinitive: koşmak ("to run")
 * Stem: koş- ("run")

In Turkish, the verbal stem is also the second-person singular imperative form. Example:
 * koş- (stem meaning "run")
 * Koş! ("Run!")

Many verbs are formed from nouns by addition of -le. For example:
 * köpek – "dog"
 * köpekle – "dog paddle" (in any of several ways)

The aorist tense of a verb is formed by adding -(i/e)r. The plural of a noun is formed by suffixing -ler. Hence, the suffix -ler can indicate either a plural noun or a finite verb:
 * Köpek + ler – "(They are) dogs."
 * Köpekle + r – "S/he dog paddles."

Most adjectives can be treated as nouns or pronouns. For example, genç can mean "young", "young person", or "the young person being referred to".

An adjective or noun can stand, as a modifier, before a noun. If the modifier is a noun (but not a noun of material), then the second noun word takes the inflectional suffix -i:
 * ak diş – "white tooth"
 * altın diş – "gold tooth"
 * köpek dişi – "canine tooth"

Comparison of adjectives is not done by inflecting adjectives or adverbs, but by other means (described below).

Adjectives can serve as adverbs, sometimes by means of repetition:
 * yavaş – "slow"
 * yavaş yavaş – "slowly"

Word order
A general rule of Turkish word order is that the modifier precedes the modified:
 * adjective (used attributively) precedes noun;
 * adverb precedes verb;
 * object of postposition precedes postposition.

Although the most common order of Turkish transitive sentences is subject–object–verb (SOV), all six permutations are valid (the subject and object are distinguished by case suffixes). The word order serves to express the theme and focus (rheme) of the sentence: the sentence-initial portion is associated with the topic; the position just before the verb is used for the focus; and the post-verbal position is used for background or clarifying information.

The following sentences illustrate how subject–object–verb order changes the meaning.

Meanings may be different depending on emphasis.

In one study, only about half of the transitive sentences used by a sample of Turkish speakers were found to be in the SOV order.

When a sentence has multiple informational components, the stressed component is positioned just before the verb:

Ali bugün eve arabayla gidiyor.

Ali today to-house by-car is-going

Today, Ali is going to the house by car.

Ali eve arabayla bugün gidiyor.

Ali to-house by-car today is-going

Today, Ali is going to the house by car.

Ali arabayla bugün eve gidiyor.

Ali by-car today to-house is-going

Today, Ali is going to the house by car.

Morpheme order
The order of morphemes in Turkish is often opposite to English:

The above example is also illustrative of the productive nature of Turkish suffixes in creating new verbs, nouns, etc. Note that the word Avrupalılaştıramadık can be a verb, a participle or a noun; in this parse, it is a participle, or verbal adjective, that is used as a noun.

The longest published word in Turkish, muvaffakiyetsizleştiricileştiriveremeyebileceklerimizdenmişsinizcesine, means "as if you are one of those that we cannot easily convert into an unsuccessful-person-maker" (i.e., someone who un-educates people to make them unsuccessful).

Inflectional suffixes

 * For case endings, see

The plural suffix (çoğul eki) can be used with nouns and with third-person verbs:
 * -ler (front vowel harmony: e, i, ö, ü)
 * -lar (back vowel harmony: a, ı, o, u)

Nouns are derived from verbs in several ways. The number of ways of forming verbal nouns (fiil isimleri) from verb-stems can be debated; here are three:
 * {| class=wikitable

! description !! suffix
 * + Verbal-noun suffixes
 * infinitive (mastar "template")
 * -mek2
 * gerund
 * -me2
 * "way of doing VERB"
 * -(y)iş4
 * }
 * "way of doing VERB"
 * -(y)iş4
 * }

Several series of endings show distinctions of person (kişi); they are given here, along with the personal pronouns for comparison:
 * {|class=wikitable

!colspan=2|person||colspan=2|1st||colspan=2|2nd||colspan=2|3rd !colspan=2|number||sg||pl||sg||pl||sg/pl||pl !colspan=2|personal pronouns !colspan=2|possessive suffixes (iyelik ekleri) !rowspan=4|personal endings (kişi ekleri) !predicative (I) !verbal (II) !optative (III) !imperative (IV) The names given to the personal endings here are not standard. These endings are often just referred to as type I, II, III, and IV respectively; but the order in which the types are numbered is also not standard. Lewis (1967) refers to the suffixes of possession as "personal" endings.
 * + Indicators of person
 * - align=center
 * ben||biz||sen||siz||o||onlar
 * - align=center
 * -(i)m||-(i)miz||-(i)n||-(i)niz||-(s)i||-leri
 * - align=center
 * -(y)im||-(y)iz||-sin||-siniz||—||-ler
 * - align=center
 * -m||-k||-n||-niz||—||-ler
 * - align=center
 * -(y)eyim||-(y)elim||-(y)esin||-(y)esiniz||-(y)e||-(y)eler
 * - align=center
 * || ||—||-(y)in(iz)||-sin||-sinler
 * }

In the third person, plural number is not always explicitly marked, and the same form is used for both singular and plural. If the plural suffix -ler is used, it combines with the personal endings as indicated in the final column of the table.

A "suffix of possession" gives the person of the possessor of the object named by the noun to which the suffix is attached; it also indicates a subject for a participle. (See .)

A "predicative" ending can assign a person to a noun, thus creating a complete sentence:
 * insan "human" → İnsanım. "I am a human."

See also and Turkish copula.

All of the personal suffixes can be used in the formation of verbs. Verb-stems have been mentioned. A verb-base is obtained from a verb-stem by attachment of certain suffixes or characteristics given below. Then the personal endings here called "predicative" and "verbal" attach only to verb-bases; the optative and imperative endings attach to verb-stems.
 * {| class=wikitable

!rowspan=8|with predicative endings !colspan=2|progressive !colspan=2|necessitative !rowspan=3|aorist (habitual) !!positive !negative !impotential !colspan=2|future !colspan=2|inferential perfective !colspan=2|imperfective !rowspan=2|with verbal endings!!colspan=2|perfective !colspan=2|conditional The first syllable of the present/imperfective tense suffix (-iyor) exhibits vowel harmony while the second is invariable. When suffixed to a stem ending in a vowel, that vowel is elided: ye- + -iyor → yiyor. The aorist negative and impotential forms are given here because they are anomalous. Note, that the -z of the aorist negative (-mez) and impotential (-(y)emez) is dropped in the first-person singular and plural, in order to be able to suffix it (but is retained when the interrogative particle mi intervenes; see below). (Aorist negative first-person singular: -mem; but: aorist impotential third-person plural: -(y)emezler.)
 * + Verb characteristics
 * -mekte
 * -meli
 * -(i/e)r
 * -mez
 * -(y)emez
 * -(y)ecek
 * -miş
 * -iyor
 * -di
 * -se
 * }

See also Negation and potential in verb-stems under below.

Some third-person verbs also function as participles. Participles can be classified as personal, if they take a suffix of possession, and impersonal, if they do not. The following suffixes attach to verb-stems:
 * {| class=wikitable

!colspan=2| ||impersonal||personal !rowspan=3|aorist!!positive !negative !impotential !colspan=2|imperfective !colspan=2|future !colspan=2|perfective The interrogative particle (soru eki) is not written as a suffix, but phonetically it is enclitic; in particular, it exhibits vowel harmony:
 * + Participial endings
 * -(i/e)r||rowspan=4|
 * -mez
 * -(y)emez
 * -(y)en
 * colspan=2 align=center|-(y)ecek
 * -miş||-dik
 * }
 * mi (front-unrounded vowel harmony: i, after e and i)
 * mı (back-unrounded vowel harmony: ı, after a and ı)
 * mu (back-rounded vowel harmony: u, after o and u)
 * mü (front-rounded vowel harmony: ü, after ö and ü)

Inflection
A Turkish noun has no gender. The dictionary-form of a noun can take up to four (kinds of) inflectional suffixes, generally in the following order: Through its presence or absence, the plural ending shows distinctions of number.
 * 1) plural suffix;
 * 2) suffix of possession (iyelik eki from iye "owner");
 * 3) case-ending;
 * 4) personal suffix (kişi eki from kişi "person").

Number
A noun is made plural by addition of -ler or -lar (depending on the vowel harmony). When a numeral is used with a noun, however, the plural suffix is usually not used:

 * baş || "head"
 * başlar || "[some] heads"
 * beş baş || "five head(s)", but
 * Beşevler || "Five Houses" (district of Bursa)
 * }
 * beş baş || "five head(s)", but
 * Beşevler || "Five Houses" (district of Bursa)
 * }
 * }

The plural ending also allows a family (living in one house) to be designated by a single member:

 * Aliler || "Ali and his family"
 * teyze || "maternal aunt"
 * teyzem || "my maternal aunt"
 * teyzemler || "my maternal aunt and her family"
 * }
 * teyzem || "my maternal aunt"
 * teyzemler || "my maternal aunt and her family"
 * }
 * }

In the last example, the first-person singular suffix of possession comes before the plural ending; this is an exception to the order of suffixes given above. In the usual order, we have:
 * teyzelerim "my maternal aunts"

Nouns are pluralized in standard temporal greetings.
 * gün ("day") – İyi günler! ("Good day!")
 * yıl ("year") – Mutlu yıllar! ("Happy new year!")

Possession
As noted earlier, the suffixes of possession give the person (and number) of the possessor of what is named by the noun:

When a word takes one of the endings of possession, the word becomes the name of something possessed, not possessing. The word for the possessor, if present, takes the genitive case ending.

The plural ending will not be attached twice to the same word; therefore ambiguity is possible:

 * fikir || "idea"
 * fikirleri || "their idea" or "their ideas" or "his/her ideas"
 * }
 * fikirleri || "their idea" or "their ideas" or "his/her ideas"
 * }

Ambiguity can be resolved with.

Case
The Turkish language is normally described as having six cases, whose names in English are borrowed from Latin grammar. The case endings (durum ekleri 'ending condition') are regular and subject to vowel harmony.

The postposition ile is often absorbed onto the noun as -(y)le, and some authors analyse this as an instrumental and comitative case. As it differs from the other case markers in several ways, it may be considered as an "inflectional marker" but not a case marker. In particular, unlike the other case endings, -(y)le is never accentuated. Also, when combined with the personal pronouns, the demonstratives, or the interrogative kim, they are traditionally used in the genitive, e.g., kiminle 'with whom', not *kimle. However, using -(y)le directly with personal as well as demonstrative pronouns as in the case with other case endings by bypassing the obligatory genitive case has become common usage. So words like benle, senle, onla, bizle, sizle, onlarla, kimle, neyle are used very often. In fact, the expected genitive case before -(y)le in the case of the third person plural onlarınla is perceived to be grammatically false by native speakers.

If a case ending is attached to a demonstrative pronoun (which ends in o or u), or to a noun that has already taken a third-person ending of possession, or to a compound noun where the second word is already suffixed, then the case ending is preceded by n (and the parenthetical y is not used). For instance: "Türk yemeklerini seviyorum.", "I love Turkish food."

Absolute case
The absolute case combines the uses of the nominative, vocative, and (in part) accusative cases. It is for subjects, and for names of people being addressed. It is also used for indefinite direct objects. Definite direct objects are in the definite-accusative case:

 * şiir || "poem" || (absolute case)
 * Şiir okur. || "S/he reads  a  poem/poetry." || (absolute case, indefinite direct object)
 * Şiiri okur. || "S/he reads the poem." || (accusative case, definite direct object)
 * }
 * Şiiri okur. || "S/he reads the poem." || (accusative case, definite direct object)
 * }
 * }

Dative case
The dative case tells the place to which. Thus it has roughly the meaning of the English prepositions "to" and "into", and also "in" when it can be replaced with "into":

Birayı buzdolabına koy.

the-beer into-icebox put

"Put the beer in(to) the fridge."

The dative also is for objects, usually indirect objects, but sometimes objects that in English would be considered direct:

Güneşin batışına bak.

sun's at-its-sinking look

"Look at the sunset."

Hükümete güven.

to-government trust

"Trust the government."

Locative case
The locative case tells where, hence corresponds to the English prepositions "at", "on", and "in" (when it does not mean "into").
 * ev "house" → evde "at home"

 * Buzdolabında || dört || bira || var
 * in-icebox || four || beer || exist
 * colspan=4 | "There are four beers in the fridge."
 * }
 * colspan=4 | "There are four beers in the fridge."
 * }
 * }

Ablative case
The ablative case tells whence, that is, the place from which (or through which), hence:
 * material out of which something is made;

kumdan yapılmış kale

of-sand made castle

"castle made of sand"

 * a cause by which something is effected;

açlıktan öl

of-hunger die

"die of hunger"

 * that to which other things are being compared (see below).

Genitive case
The genitive case indicates a "compounding" (tamlayan) word. The corresponding "compounded" (tamlanan) word will take the appropriate suffix of possession. The pair of these words is then a definite compound (belirtili tamlama):

(The apostrophe in Turkish is used before suffixes attached to proper nouns.)
 * anne || "mother"
 * annesi || "her mother"
 * Ayşe'nin annesi || "Ayşe's mother"
 * }
 * Ayşe'nin annesi || "Ayşe's mother"
 * }
 * }

However, if two nouns are connected, but not by ownership, then the second noun generally takes an ending of possession, while the first takes no ending. The result is an indefinite compound (belirtisiz tamlama):

 * Türkiye'nin Cumhurbaşkanı || "The President of Turkey" (definite)
 * Türkiye Cumhuriyeti || "The Republic of Turkey" (indefinite)
 * }
 * Türkiye Cumhuriyeti || "The Republic of Turkey" (indefinite)
 * }

If one noun names a material, the other noun need not take an ending:

 * nikâh yüzüğü || "wedding ring"
 * altın yüzük || "gold ring"
 * }
 * altın yüzük || "gold ring"
 * }

The genitive case can also be used for the subject of some complement or adjunct clauses:
 * Annemizin uzak bir semtte oturmasına rağmen, her gün ona uğruyoruz. // Although our mother lives in a remote neighborhood, we visit her every day."
 * Başkanın vermesi gerekiyor. // The president needs to give it.
 * Tuğçe bizim Ankara'ya gitmemizi istedi. // Tuğçe wanted us to go to Ankara.
 * Ben Ali'nin camı kırdığı zamanı biliyordum. // I knew when Ali broke the glass.

Instrumental case
The instrumental case functions as both an instrumental and a comitative.

 * Deniz'le konuştuk || "Deniz and we spoke."
 * çekiçle vur || "hit with a hammer"
 * Onunla konuştuk || "He and we spoke."
 * }
 * Onunla konuştuk || "He and we spoke."
 * }
 * }

Predication
If a noun is to be in the first or second person, one of the predicative suffixes (or type-I personal suffixes) will show this.

Examples
 * dünya "world" → Dünyayız. "We are the world."
 * çocuk "child" → Çocuklarsınız. "You are the children"

In the third person, no ending is required. However, the ending -dir can be used; it is said to be the remnant of a verb turur "S/he stands". Again in the third person, the plural suffix may be used:

 * Türk or Türktür || "S/he is Turkish"
 * Türkler or Türktürler || "They are Turkish"
 * Türklerdir || "They are the Turks"
 * }
 * Türklerdir || "They are the Turks"
 * }
 * }

Several suffixes can be combined:

ev- -iniz -de- -yim

house your at {I am}

{} PL LOC 1SG.PRED

"I am at your house."

Verbal nouns
The infinitive, formed with -mek as noted earlier, does not take a suffix of possession, or the genitive case-ending. It does take all other case-endings. In particular, the progressive characteristic given earlier is the infinitive ending with the locative ending:
 * Konuşmaktayız – "We are in (the act of) speaking."
 * Savaşmaktayız – "We are in warmaking", that is, "We are at war."

The verbal noun in -me is called a gerund above, since it corresponds roughly to the English gerund.
 * bekle "wait" → bekleme "waiting": bekleme odası "waiting room"

The verbal noun can take a suffix of possession and any case-ending:

Beklemeniz lâzım.

your-waiting necessary

"You have to wait."

Sesini duymayı seviyorum.

your-voice-ACC hearing-ACC I-love

"I like to hear your voice."

The dative form of a Turkish gerund can correspond precisely to an English infinitive with to: Ülkemizde nano teknolojik ürünler üretilmeye başlandı.

In-our-country nano technological products to-be-produced began

"Nano-technological products began to be produced in our country."

The suffix -iş can also be used to create verbal nouns:
 * {| class=wikitable

! Verb !! Noun
 * yürü- "walk" || yürüyüş "walk, walking"
 * yağ- "rain" || yağış "rain"
 * al- "take" + ver- "give/spend" || alışveriş "shopping"
 * yara- "be of use", yaratıl- "be created" || yaratılış "creation"
 * }
 * al- "take" + ver- "give/spend" || alışveriş "shopping"
 * yara- "be of use", yaratıl- "be created" || yaratılış "creation"
 * }
 * }

The verb et- "make, do" can be considered as an auxiliary verb, since for example it is often used with verbal nouns borrowed from other languages, such as Arabic: kabul et- "accept" (kabul "[an] accepting"); reddet- "reject" (ret "[a] rejecting"); ziyaret et- "visit" (ziyaret "[a] visiting"). Considered as units, these are transitive verbs; but the nouns in them can also, by themselves, take direct objects: Antalya'yı ziyaret "visit to Antalya".

What looks like an ablative gerund is usually an adverb; the ending -meden usually has the sense of "without". See below.

An infinitive in the absolute case can be the object of a verb such as iste- "want":

Kimi eğitime devam etmek, kimi de çalışmak istiyor.

some-of-them towards-education continuation make some-of-them also work want

Some want to continue their education, and some want to work" (source: Cumhuriyet Pazar Dergi, 14 August 2005, p. 1.)

Note here that the compound verb devam et- "continue, last" does not take a direct object, but is complemented by a dative noun.

Another way to express obligation (besides with lâzım as in the earlier example) is by means of zor "trouble, compulsion" and an infinitive: Gitmek zoru "Go compulsion", Gitmek zorundayız "We must go". (Source: same as the last example.)

Both an infinitive and a gerund are objects of the postposition için "for" in the third sentence of the quotation within the following quotation:

A free translation is: The facility authorities said: "The people of this district [namely Edremit, Van] are generally conservative. They cannot enter the lake comfortably, because the shore areas are near the road.  So we are using a screen, both to close off the view of passersby on the road, and so that men will not cause discomfort."  However, children cannot be prevented from spying on the other side through gaps in the screen.

Auxiliary verbs
Certain verbs in Turkish are used to enhance the meaning of other verbs, or to agglutinate verbs from nouns. These verbs are called auxiliary verbs. A concise list follows:

Verbs that are used with nouns to agglutinate new verbs
 * etmek (to do)
 * olmak (to be)
 * kılmak (to make)
 * eylemek (to make)

Examples If there is a change in the noun root through the process of agglutination, it is written adjacently. These are mostly Arabic loan-words, which switch to their more original form.
 * farz (assumption) → farz etmek (to assume)
 * hak (right) → hak etmek (to deserve)
 * af (amnesty) → affetmek (to excuse)
 * kayıp (loss) → kaybetmek (to lose)
 * terk (leaving) → terk etmek (to leave)
 * arz (submission, supply) → arz etmek (to submit, to supply)

In Turkish words, two consonants of a syllable need a vowel to be pronounced. There are exceptions in loan words only, but those that lost their original form are more common. This occurs in two ways:

If a word ends in two identical consonants, one is dropped, e.g. hall ("state, status") becomes hal; aff ("amnesty, forgiving") becomes af.

If a syllable ends in two different consonants, a vowel is added between them; e.g., hükm ("judgement") becomes hüküm.

Exceptions: Words which end in nk, rt, rk, such as taht ("throne"), renk ("colour"), kart ("card"), do not add a vowel. Most of these are loan-words from Persian or Western languages (but zevk "pleasure" from Arabic ذَوْق).

Examples

Verbs that are used with other verbs to enhance the meaning:

 * -(i)vermek (implies urgency)
 * -(e)bilmek (implies ability)
 * -(e)durmak (implies continuity)
 * -(e)gelmek (implies repetition)
 * -(a)kalmak (implies continuity)
 * -(e)yazmak (implies a close escape)
 * -(e)görmek (implies a warning)

Examples
 * düş- (fall) → düşeyazdım (I almost fell)
 * git- (go) → gidiverdim (I just went)
 * yavaşla- (slow down) → yavaşlayabilirim (I can slow down)
 * yaz- (write) → yazaduruyorlar (they keep on writing)
 * söylen- (be told) → söylenegelir (keeps being told)

Adjectives
Adjectives used attributively precede the noun; used predicatively, they follow, unless something other than word order shows that they are being used predicatively:
 * {| class=wikitable

! Attributive ! rowspan=2 | Predicative
 * yeşil çim || "[the] green grass"
 * Çim yeşil(dir). || rowspan=2 | "Grass is green."
 * Yeşildir çim.
 * }
 * }

Descriptive adjectives
Most adjectives in the dictionary are descriptive. The two most fundamental descriptive adjectives are:
 * var ("existing")
 * yok ("not existing")

These are used only predicatively: Gökte bir bulut yok.
 * with the sense of the English "There is" and "There is not":

in-the-sky a cloud not-existing

"There is not a cloud in the sky."

Balcının var bal tası, Oduncunun var baltası.
 * in the construction that supplies the lack of a verb "have":

honey-seller's exists honey his-pot wood-cutter's exists his-axe

"The honey-seller has a honey-pot; the wood-cutter has an axe."

 * (This is a proverbial expression; the more usual order would make the saying, Balcının bal tası var, oduncunun baltası var).

Indefinite adjectives
The cardinal number bir ("one") can be used as an indefinite article. Word order can make a difference:
 * güzel bir gün – "a nice day"
 * bir güzel gün – "one fine day"

Unless it is being used by itself, elliptically, the adjective hiç ("no") requires an additional word with negative force: Hiç param yok.

no my-money there-is-not

"I have no money."

Hiçbir adam ada değildir.

no-one man island is-not

"No man is an island."

Compare:
 * Bir şey görüyorum. – "I see something."
 * Hiçbir şey görmüyorum. – "I don't see anything."

Comparison
In a positive comparison, the object takes the ablative case; the adverb daha ("more") is optional, unless the object is left out.

tüyden (daha) hafif

feather-ABL (more) light

"lighter than a feather"

In a negative comparison, the adverb az ("less") is needed; the object still takes the ablative; daha can still be used as well.

kurşundan (daha) az ağır

lead-ABL (more) less heavy

"less heavy than lead"

The superlative degree is expressed by the adverb en ("most").

en büyük yalancı

most big liar

"the biggest liar"

en az güvenilir

most less trust-

"the least trustworthy"

Participles
It is noted under that Turkish participles (sıfat-fiiller) can be classified as
 * personal, if they take a suffix of possession;
 * impersonal, if they do not.

In a personal participle, the suffix of possession signifies the subject of the underlying verb; if this possessor is third person, then the possessor may be further specified with a noun in the genitive case.

The noun modified by a personal participle as an adjective may be the direct object of the underlying verb; the connection may also be more vague.

The noun modified by an impersonal participle is generally the subject of the underlying verb (but see Lewis (1967: IX,2)).

The aorist tense (geniş zaman "broad time") is for habitual actions; the present tense (şimdiki zaman "time that is now") is for actions ongoing or contemplated.

Present
that is, "No legal process has begun concerning the AKP members who pulled out guns and fired them in the air"; for -ip see below.

that is, "last week";

Past/present
A personal participle can be construed as a noun and used in parallel with verbal nouns:

that is, "Children are working, 68% to provide for their family's needs, 21% because their family wants it, 6% to learn a job or profession, 4% to meet their [own] needs."

The following sentence from a newspaper headline contains twenty-two words, nine derived from verbs, four of these as participles, three as gerunds. Note also the use of kontrol from French as a verbal noun with et-:

In other words: Saying that, by not joining the EU and by drawing close to the Islamic world, Turkey would be pushed into the lap of those who favor sharia, French senator Duireux made clear that it was necessary to control the Islamic tide.

Intensification
Turkish adjectives can be intensified with intensifying (pekiştirme) prefixes.

If the adjective begins with a consonant the prefix is the consonant + the following vowel + m, p, r, or s. p operates as the default, and is the most common form. Forms in r and m are rare. There is no single rule that governs the choice of the final consonant. This choice tends to minimize featural similarity with consonants in the base adjective, in particular, the first and second consonants:
 * siyah ("black") → simsiyah ("pitch black")
 * güzel ("pretty") → güpgüzel ("very pretty")
 * temiz ("clean") → tertemiz ("clean as a pin")
 * katı ("hard") → kaskatı ("hard as a rock")

If the adjective begins with a vowel, the prefix consists of this vowel + p:
 * uzun ("long") → upuzun ("very long")

The vowel is sometimes also added after the consonant:
 * sağlam ("healthy") → sapasağlam ("very healthy") (sapsağlam also exists)
 * yalnız ("alone") → yapayalnız ("all alone") (yapyalnız also exists)
 * gündüz ("daytime") → güpegündüz ("") (güpgündüz also exists)
 * çevre ("") → çepeçevre ("") (çepçevre also exists)
 * tıp ("medical") → tıpatıp ("exactly")

There are also some irregular suffixes:
 * çıplak ("naked") → çırılçıplak ("stark naked") (çırçıplak and çırçıplak also exist)
 * sıklam ("") → sırılsıklam ("") (sırsıklam also exists)
 * karışık ("complex") → karmakarışık ("totally complex")
 * dağınık ("untidy") → darmadağınık ("very untidy") (dapdağınık and dasdağınık also exist)
 * renk ("colored") → rengârenk ("multicolored")
 * deli ("mad") → zırdeli ("raving mad")
 * parça ("piece") → paramparça ("in pieces")

Some adjectives have more than one intensified form:
 * düz ("flat"): düpdüz (24.1%), dümdüz (78.1%) ("very flat", 2 forms) (the irregular düpedüz also exists)
 * yaş ("fresh"): yapyaş (44.8%), yamyaş (58.6%) ("very fresh", 2 forms)
 * sefil ("miserable"): sepsefil (24.1%), semsefil (6.8%), sersefil (66.6%) ("very miserable", 3 forms)
 * geniş ("large"): gepgeniş (77%), gemgeniş (9.15%), gesgeniş (6.8%), gergeniş (5.7%) ("very large", 4 forms)
 * topaç (""): toptopaç (47.15%), tomtopaç (5.75%), tostopaç (33.3%), tortopaç (3.4%) ("very ", 4 forms)

This process is also called emphatic reduplication. It is only applied to particular common adjectives (between 100 and 215 depending on sources ), and not to new adjectives which enter Turkish. However, native speakers are able to produce novel forms when asked to do so.

Adverbs
The adverb of negation is değil. It is used to negate sentences that are without verb or var; then it takes the appropriate personal ending: Evde değilim "I am not at home."

A number of adverbs are derived from verbs:

The ending -e is seen in: Güle güle "[Go] smilingly" (said to somebody departing); Güle güle kullanın "Use [it] smilingly" (said to somebody with a new acquisition); Beşe çeyrek kala kalktım "To-five a-quarter remaining I-got-up", that is, "I got up at a quarter to five"; Onu yirmi geçe uyudun "You slept at twenty past ten" (uyu- "sleep", although uy- "heed").

The ending -erek denotes action at the same time as, or preceding, that of another verb:

Geceyi konuşarak geçirdik

the-night talking we-caused-to-pass

"We spent the night talking."

Akıl yürüterek bu sonuca ulaşıyorum

"By using reason, I arrived at this conclusion" [the latter is Bülent Ecevit as quoted in Cumhuriyet, 20 July 2005].

Doğaya en az zarar vererek yaşamak

"To live while giving the least harm to nature" [Buğday magazine, 7–8/2005, no 32].

From ol- "be, become", olarak forms adverbial phrases corresponding to those in English with "as":

Size bir dost olarak söylüyorum

To-you a friend as I'm-telling

"I'm telling you this as a friend"

ciddi olarak "seriously" (ciddi "serious").

The ending -meden on a verb-stem looks like the ablative gerund, but it is not (Lewis [XI,12]). It indicates an action not occurring at all, or following that of the main verb:

Bakmadan atlama "Don't leap without looking"; Bakmadan önce atlama "Don't leap before looking."

Bir soruyu cevaplamadan tartışmak, tartışmadan cevaplamaktan iyidir

A particular-question without-answering to-debate without-debating from-to-answer is-good,

"It is better to debate without answering than to answer without debating." (Source of the last sentence: Joseph Joubert as quoted on p. 20 of Gündelik Bilmeceler by Partha Ghose and Dipankar Home, translated by Özlem Özbal, Tübitak Popüler Bilim Kitapları 25, Ankara, 1996.)

Complementing önce "before" is sonra "after", which can follow a verb-stem given the ending -dikten: Baktıktan sonra atla "After looking, leap"; Ayşe baktıktan sonra Neşe atladı "After Ayşe looked, Neşe leapt." Simultaneity is expressed by iken or its (not enclitic) suffixed form -(y)ken; but if it follows a verb, then the verb appears, not as a stem, but as a base; see : Eve girmekteyken, bir şey hatırladım "As I was entering the house, I remembered something"; Ben eve girmekteyken, telefon çaldı "As I was entering the house, the telephone rang."

If two verbs of the same grammatical form have the same subject, the endings on the first verb can be replaced by -ip; see the example under.

Pronouns
The third-person personal pronoun o "she/he/it" is declined as if it were the noun on. The other persons, ben "I", sen "you (singular/informal)", biz "we", siz "you (plural/formal)", are declined like nouns, except for a vowel change in the dative and an anomalous genitive. All personal pronouns aside from onlar form their instrumental with the genitive form.

The absolute case is generally needed only for emphasis:
 * —Nasılsınız? "How are you?"
 * —İyiyim; siz nasılsınız? "I am fine; how are you?"
 * —Ben de iyiyim. "I too am fine."

The third-person pronoun can clear up an ambiguity mentioned above:

The pronoun o is also one of the demonstrative pronouns: The latter two are declined like o (that is, treated as if they were bun and şun, and formed to the instrumental with the genitive).
 * o "that";
 * bu "this";
 * şu "this or that" (thing pointed to).

The interrogative pronouns (and adjectives) are:
 * kim "who";
 * ne "what";
 * hangi "which";
 * kaç "how many" or "how much".

These appear in embedded questions but do not serve as true relative pronouns:
 * Buzdolabında kaç tane var, o bilir. – "S/he knows how many are in the refrigerator."

There is a suffix -ki that acts as a relative pronoun in that it creates what, in English, would be called relative clauses. It does not display vowel harmony, except in a few common formations:
 * benimki – "mine (that which is mine)"
 * buzdolabındaki bira – "beer that is in the refrigerator" (no vowel harmony)
 * bugünkü – "today's (which is today)" (with vowel harmony)
 * dünkü – "yesterday's (which was yesterday)" (with vowel harmony)

The reflexive pronoun (dönüşlü zamir from dön- "turn") is kendi "own, self":
 * Kendi kendinden korkma – "Do not be afraid of thyself."

Many of the indefinite adjectives can function as pronouns, taking case-endings.

Stems of verbs
Many stems in the dictionary are indivisible; others consist of endings attached to a root.

Verb-stems from nouns
The verb-stem temizle- "make clean" is the adjective temiz "clean" with the suffix -le; this suffix was mentioned earlier under in connection with the verb köpekle-. Many verbs are formed from nouns or adjectives with -le:
 * {| class="wikitable"

! Noun !! Verb
 * baş "head" || başla- "make a head", that is, "begin"
 * kilit "lock" || kilitle- "make locked", that is, "lock"
 * kir "dirt" || kirle- "make dirty"
 * }
 * kir "dirt" || kirle- "make dirty"
 * }
 * }

Voice
A verbal root, or a verb-stem in -le, can be lengthened with certain extensions. If present, they appear in the following order, and they indicate distinctions of voice:
 * {|class="wikitable"

! Voice !! Ending !! Notes !Reflexive !Reciprocal !rowspan=4|Causative ! Passive These endings might seem to be inflectional in the sense of the above, but their meanings are not always clear from their particular names, and dictionaries do generally give the resulting forms, so in this sense they are constructive endings.
 * + Extensions for voice
 * -(i)n||rowspan=2|
 * -(i)ş
 * -t||after polysyllabic stems in -l, -r, or a vowel; and
 * -dir||in other cases; except:
 * -ir, -er, -it||after some monosyllabic stems; and
 * ||there are some other exceptional forms as well.
 * -ir, -er, -it||after some monosyllabic stems; and
 * ||there are some other exceptional forms as well.
 * ||there are some other exceptional forms as well.
 * -il||after stems ending in a consonant other than -l; otherwise, same as reflexive.
 * }

The causative extension makes an intransitive verb transitive, and a transitive verb factitive. Together, the reciprocal and causative extension make the repetitive extension -(i)ştir.
 * {| class="wikitable"

! Verb Root/Stem !! New Verb !! Voice
 * rowspan=2 | bul "find"
 * buluş "meet" || -uş (reciprocal)
 * bulun "be found/present" || -un (reflexive)
 * rowspan=2 | yıka "wash (something)"
 * yıkan "wash oneself" || -n (reflexive)
 * yıkanıl "be washed" || -n (reflexive) + -ıl (passive)
 * kayna "(come to a) boil" || kaynat "(bring to a) boil" || -t (causitive)
 * öl "die"
 * öldür "kill" || -dür (causitive)
 * öldür "kill"
 * kayna "(come to a) boil" || kaynat "(bring to a) boil" || -t (causitive)
 * öl "die"
 * öldür "kill" || -dür (causitive)
 * öldür "kill"
 * öldür "kill" || -dür (causitive)
 * öldür "kill"
 * öldür "kill"
 * öldür "kill"

 * öldürt "have (someone) killed" || -t (causitive, factitive)
 * ara "look for"
 * araştır "investigate" || -ş (reciprocal) + -tır (causitive) = (repetitive)
 * }
 * }

Negation and potential in verb-stems
A dictionary-stem is positive; it can be made: Any of these three (kinds of) stems can be made potential by addition of -e and then -bil. The -bil is not enclitic, but represents the verb bil- "know, be able"; the first syllable of the impotential ending represents an obsolete verb u- "be powerful, able" Lewis [VIII,55]. So far then, there are six kinds of stems:
 * negative, by addition of -me;
 * impotential, by addition of -e and then -me.
 * {|class="wikitable"

! ||English infinitive||English finite form Such stems are not used for aorist forms, which have their own peculiar means of forming negatives and impotentials.
 * + Paradigm for stems negative, impotential and potential
 * gel-||"come"||"come"
 * gelme-||"not come"||"do not come"
 * geleme-||"be unable to come"||"cannot come"
 * gelebil-||"be able to come"||"can come"
 * gelmeyebil-||"be able to not come"||"may not come"
 * gelemeyebil-||"able to be unable to come"||"may be unable to come"
 * }
 * gelebil-||"be able to come"||"can come"
 * gelmeyebil-||"be able to not come"||"may not come"
 * gelemeyebil-||"able to be unable to come"||"may be unable to come"
 * }
 * gelemeyebil-||"able to be unable to come"||"may be unable to come"
 * }

Note that -ebil is one of several verbs that can be compounded to enhance meaning. See Auxiliary verbs.

Bases of verbs
The characteristics with which verb-bases are formed from stems are given under. Note again that aorist verbs have their own peculiar negative and impotential forms.

The progressive base in -mekte is discussed under. Another base, namely the necessitative (gereklilik), is formed from a verbal noun. The characteristic is -meli, where -li forms adjectives from nouns, and -me forms gerunds from verb-stems. A native speaker may perceive the ending -meli as indivisible; the analysis here is from [VIII,30]).

The present base is derived from the ancient verb yorı- "go, walk" [VIII,16]; this can be used for ongoing actions, or for contemplated future actions.

The meaning of the aorist base is described under #Adjectives from verbs: participles.

There is some irregularity in first-person negative and impotential aorists. The full form of the base -mez (or (y)emez) reappears before the interrogative particle mi:
 * Gelmem "I do not come" (cf. Gelmez miyim "Do I not come?");
 * Gelmeyiz "We do not come" (cf. Gelmez miyiz "Do we not come?")

The definite past or di-past is used to assert that something did happen in the past. The inferential past or miş-past can be understood as asserting that a past participle is applicable now; hence it is used when the fact of a past event, as such, is not important; in particular, the inferential past is used when one did not actually witness the past event.

A newspaper will generally use the di-past, because it is authoritative. The need to indicate uncertainty and inference by means of the miş-past may help to explain the extensive use of ki in the newspaper excerpt at Turkish vocabulary.

The conditional (şart) verb could also be called "hypothetical"; it is used for remote possibilities, or things one might wish for. (See also .)

The various bases thus give distinctions of tense, aspect and mood. These can be briefly tabulated:
 * {| class="wikitable"

! Form !! Suffix !! Verb !! English Translation
 * + First-person singular verbs
 * Progressive || -mekte
 * gelmekteyim||"I am in the process of coming"
 * Necessitative || -meli
 * gelmeliyim||"I must come"
 * Positive || -(i/e)r
 * gelirim||"I come"
 * Negative || -me(z)
 * gelmem||"I do not come"
 * Impotential || -(y)eme(z)
 * gelemem||"I cannot come"
 * Future || -(y)ecek
 * geleceğim||"I will come"
 * Inferential Past || -miş
 * gelmişim||"It seems that I came"
 * Present/Imperfective || -iyor
 * geliyorum||"I am coming"
 * Perfective/Definite Past || -di
 * geldim||"I came"
 * Conditional || -se
 * gelsem||"if only I came"
 * }
 * Present/Imperfective || -iyor
 * geliyorum||"I am coming"
 * Perfective/Definite Past || -di
 * geldim||"I came"
 * Conditional || -se
 * gelsem||"if only I came"
 * }
 * Conditional || -se
 * gelsem||"if only I came"
 * }

Questions
The interrogative particle mi precedes predicative (type-I) endings (except for the 3rd person plural -ler), but follows the complete verb formed from a verbal, type-II ending:
 * Geliyor musunuz? "Are you coming?" (but: Geliyorlar mı? "Are they coming?")
 * Geldiniz mi?     "Did you come?"

Optative and imperative moods
Usually, in the optative (istek), only the first-person forms are used, and these supply the lack of a first-person imperative (emir). In common practice then, there is one series of endings to express something wished for:
 * {| class="wikitable"

! Number !! Person !! Ending !! Example !! English Translation ! rowspan=3 | Singular ! 1st ! 2nd ! 3rd ! rowspan=3 | Plural ! 1st ! 2nd ! 3rd
 * + Merged Optative & Imperative Moods
 * -(y)eyim ||Geleyim||"Let me come"
 * — || Gel ||"Come (you, singular)"
 * -sin || Gelsin|| "Let [her/him/it] come"
 * -(y)elim || Gelelim ||"Let us come"
 * -(y)in(iz) || Gelin ||"Come (you, plural)"
 * -sinler || Gelsinler||"Let them come"
 * }

Copula
The copula in Turkish appears in only two variants―*imek, a defective verb often attached to the noun, and olmek, which is a detached regular auxiliary verb.

*Imek, derived from the ancient verb er- [VIII,2], survives in Turkish only in the inferential past, perfective, and conditional: The form iken given under is also descended from er-. Since no more bases are founded on the stem i-, this verb can be called defective. In particular, i- forms no negative or impotential stems; negation is achieved with the, değil, given earlier.
 * imiş,
 * idi,
 * ise.

The i- bases are often turned into base-forming suffixes without change in meaning; the corresponding suffixes are where the y is used only after vowels. For example, Hasta imiş and Hastaymış both mean, "Apparently/Reportedly, he/she/it is ill".
 * -(y)miş,
 * -(y)di,
 * -(y)se,

The verb i- serves as a copula. When a copula is needed, but the appropriate base in i- does not exist, then the corresponding base in ol- is used; when used otherwise this stem means "become". Idir, a variant of imek, is used for emphasis.

The verb i- is irregular in the way it is used in questions: the particle mi always precedes it:
 * Kuş idi or Kuştu "It was a bird";
 * Kuş muydu? "Was it a bird?"

Compound bases
The bases so far considered can be called "simple". A base in i- can be attached to another base, forming a compound base. One can then interpret the result in terms of English verb forms by reading backwards. The following list is representative, not exhaustive: By means of ise or -(y)se, a verb can be made conditional in the sense of being the hypothesis or protasis of a complex statement:
 * Past tenses:
 * continuous past: Geliyordum "I was coming";
 * aorist past: Gelirdim "I used to come";
 * future past: Gelecektim "I was going to come";
 * pluperfect: Gelmiştim "I had come";
 * necessitative past: Gelmeliydim "I had to come";
 * conditional past: Gelseydim "If only I had come."
 * Inferential tenses:
 * continuous inferential: Geliyormuşum "It seems (they say) I am coming";
 * future inferential: Gelecekmişim "It seems I shall come";
 * aorist inferential: Gelirmişim "It seems I come";
 * necessitative inferential: Gelmeliymişim "They say I must come."
 * önemli bir şey yapıyorsunuz "You are doing something important";
 * Önemli bir şey yapıyorsanız, rahatsız etmeyelim "If you are doing something important, let us not cause disturbance."

The simple conditional can be used for remote conditions:
 * Bakmakla öğrenilse, köpekler kasap olurdu "If learning by looking were possible, dogs would be butchers."

Football Federation of the Soviet Union

The Football Federation of the USSR (Федерация футбола СССР) was a governing body of football in the Soviet Union and since 1972 the main governing body of football in the country. The Federation was created in late 1934 by the decision of the Supreme Council of Physical Culture of the USSR (Высший Совет Физической Культуры, VSFK) as its sports section governing specifically football. It was the only organization that obtained recognition of FIFA in 1946.

History
After the establishment of the Soviet regime in the former Russian Empire all its former affiliations abroad were discontinued. Football life in the country however did not stop. In July 1920, the first championship of the Russian SFSR took place, won by the collective city team of Moscow. The general government and organization of sports in Soviet Union was intended to be conducted by the All-Union Council of Physical Culture (VSFK) that was formed in 1920. In September 1923, the first championship of the Soviet Union took place which was won also by the Moscow team over a Petrograd team. With appointed of Nikolai Semashko as chairman of VSFK, a conflict ensued between him and the chairman of Red Sportintern Nikolay Podvoisky. Later this argument joined couple of other groups among which were Komsomol that was in opposition to Podvoisky since 1922 (at times of Vsevobuch) and various trade unions.

In August 1928, the first Spartakiad took place in Moscow (not to be confused with the Spartakiad of Peoples of the USSR) which included a football tournament.

On 27 May 1934, the "Distinguished Master of Sports" achievement award was established, and given to eight footballers that same year.

On 27 December 1934, the All-Union Council of Physical Culture (VSFK) of the Central Executive Committee of the Soviet Union (TsIK USSR) established a special public organization – the Football Section of the USSR – to take charge of football events in the country. In addition, there was also the Football Directorate of the Soviet Sports Committee, subordinated directly to the Soviet government.

First memorable exhibition games
On 30 August 1935, the Ukrainian SSR national team beat Red Star Olympique (from France) 6:1. Goals were scored by Shylovsky (3), Parovyshnikov (2), Shchehodsky. Team squad of UkrSSR (2-3-5):

Next month a collective team of Prague visited the Soviet Union playing against team of Leningrad, Moscow, and UkrSSR. In January 1936 the Moscow team consisting of players from Dynamo Moscow and Spartak Moscow visited Racing Paris to which they lost 1:2. A single goal for the Soviets was scored by Yakushyn. Team squad of Moscow (2-3-5): all coached by Konstantin Kvashnin and Nikolai Starostin.

Later history
In 1936, the Section of Football of USSR established the Soviet Top League as a championship among teams of Volunteer Sports Sovcieties (DSO) and agencies introducing four hierarchal groups (leagues) of eight teams.

On 22 July 1937, for the first time TsIK USSR given awards to 38 best Soviet sportsmen among which were 12 football players. The first recipient of Order of Lenin among football players became Nikolai Starostin. The Order of the Red Banner of Labour received Alexander Starostin and Sergei Ilyin, other nine players received Order of the Badge of Honor.

During parts of World War II (1941–1944), the main football events were suspended, but there were several regional competitions. When the Soviet Union was liberated from the occupation of Nazi Germany in August 1944, the next national cup competition took place as the first official post-war football event.

In July 1946, the Football Section of the USSR was admitted to FIFA on the proposition of delegates from Soviet satellite states of Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia, and on 27 September 1947 the USSR was awarded a permanent seat of the vice-president of FIFA which was taken by Valentin Granatkin. The main national football team of the Soviet Union, however, did not enter the FIFA World Cup until 1958. The first coach appointed was Boris Arkadiev who in 1952 led the team to the Olympic Games in Helsinki. Later, he and several other football specialists were accused by Joseph Stalin of sabotaging the team that was eliminated in the tournament's round of 16.

In January 1957, the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR awarded the Order of Lenin to Vsevolod Bobrov and Lev Yashin to commemorate their achievements in sport.

In May 1959, the Football Section of the USSR was reorganized as the Football Federation of the USSR.

In 1960, the Soviet Union national team won the first continental championship beating the Yugoslavia national team 2–1 in extra time.

In 1963, Lev Yashin became the first Soviet player to be awarded the Ballon d'Or.

For the first time in the 1965–66 season, Soviet football clubs debuted in the European international football competitions.

In 1972, the Football Federation of the USSR became a government agency of the State Committee of Sports (Goskomsport). However, because Granatkin continued to chair the Football Federation, that reorganization did not draw much attention from FIFA.

Dynamo Kiev became the first Soviet club to win a European club trophy, when they defeated Ferencvaros 3–0 in the 1975 European Cup Winners' Cup final.

On 8 February 1992, the federation was recognized as the parent association of the newly established Russian Football Union (RFS). In July of the same year, the executive committee of FIFA confirmed the succession of the Soviet federation as the Russian Football Union and readmitted it under the new name and statute.

Talk:National Tramway Museum

National Tramway Museum Route map
Now, the route of the tramway may be fairly small, but I think it still deserves a map - especially because of the prospect of an extension. I now what needs doing, and I have found the icons, I am just unsure as to how to do it put the icons together. The icons are here Jack Gordon 15:51, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I have added a route map using the icons - if anyone wants to improve it, feel free! I am now going to do a diagram of the museum's facilities. - Jack Gordon 11:59, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

Requested move

 * Support. Sure, it makes sense. -- Asterion talk 17:56, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Support, as per nom. – Marco79 13:42, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Oppose Chris j wood 13:35, 17 July 2007 (UTC) - The website, guidebook and publicity material all refer to Crich Tramway Village, Home of the National Tramway Museum, which implies that the Crich Tramway Village and National Tramway Museum are two different entities. After all, no-one is suggesting that we should rename Gordon Brown to 10 Downing Street.

Discussion

 * Any additional comments:
 * The website, guidebook and publicity material all refer to it as Crich Tramway Village, Home of the National Tramway Museum. Jack Gordon 11:00, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

 * To you, it might seem like that, but what it means (and I speak as a Society Member), is that the Village is home to all sorts of things - it has several events that have nothing to do with trams. We could easily say Crich Tramway Village, Home of Barnett's Sweetshop, but that wouldn't mean that an article should be writte. If Barnett's sweetchop had an article, i would again say to move it, because Barnett's Sweetshop could be put in with Crich Tramway Vllage. Please feel free to discuss this further on my talk page - Jack Gordon 14:46, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

 * And I would agree with you that Barnett's Sweetshop would not be an appropriate topic for an encyclopaedia. But the National Tramway Museum clearly is an appropriate subject for such an article. I suspect there may be room for two articles (one on the NTM as a museum and academic entitity, the other on the CTV as a tourist attraction) but I'm not really trying to push that point of view. Currently there is one article, and both names route to it. All we are really discussing is which name should be the primary name.

 * Reading between the lines as non-member of the TMS, I'd suggest that the description Crich Tramway Village, Home of the National Tramway Museum suggests that the TMS are not entirely sure of the answer to this one. I'd suggest horses for courses is the answer. The CTV name is quite clearly intended as a marketing ploy to get tourists in, and there is nothing wrong with that. If I was discussing a Wikitravel article, I'd use the CTM name. But Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, less interested in tourist information; more interested in dry academic issues and continuity. Crich has been known as the NTM for donkey's years (I first visited it under that name in the 1960s) and from an academic pov its primary purpose always was (and I hope still is) the preservation of our tramway heritage. From that perspective, the NTM is by far the best for WP to use as its primary name. -- Chris j wood 15:56, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Maybe you are right in that sense. If it turns out that no-one else decides to vote for a name change, I will start a page entitled Crich Tramway Village and explain about that there. I am simply relaying what we TMS members have been told. Or, perhaps we should change the name to Crich Tramwy Village, Home of The National Tramway Museum? I suppose that the name just corresponds to the Village also, yet the Museum uses the whole line to Glory Mine - Jack Gordon 16:12, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

 * The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the . Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

It was requested that this article be renamed but there was no consensus for it be moved. --Stemonitis 14:32, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

A Day At Crich Tramway Village
It has been contested that this section is not suitable for Wikipedia. Personally, I think that it allows people to "plan their days" so to speak - if they have a limited amount of time, they can choose what to and what to not see. Also, a complete stranger to both the article and the museum might like to know what it's like - they may never be able to go there. Please discuss, and if necessary I will remove it. Jack Gordon 17:37, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Firstly to find this place in Google Map we have an overlap between content and fields to read - after clicking coordinates clear your picture please. Secondly it would be nice to show the place of the BR station - now its difficult to find. --SonniWP 18:30, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Thirdly the fleet table contains a lot of empty entries, so the table wastes window area. Please reduce empty entries, alternatively use remark signs and remarks below the table for to use space more efficiently. I want more maps of the museum site to plan my way through the museum to the car sheds, where are the sun indications at which time do we get the best light for fotos. Contact with weather prophets will be a problem of the visitor, but the map where to hide in the case of rain and so on are to be known in advance. --SonniWP 18:40, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I can't quite tell what you're getting at, but I think you are saying this: You would like a Google Map to say where abouts it is, with the railway station. And secondly, you would like a map of where to go etc. There is an official map, but it is copyrighted by the museum - therefore I cannot publish it. I will try and do my own, but it may only be a line drawing. The table itself can be improved, and I am still in the process of doing so. Jack Gordon 09:47, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Personally, I think that it allows people to "plan their days" so to speak - if they have a limited amount of time, they can choose what to and what to not see.
 * Also, a complete stranger to both the article and the museum might like to know what it's like - they may never be able to go there. Travelguide information, not appropriate for Wikipedia. Use Wikitravel for tourist info, this is an encyclopedia not a Green Michelin Guide. I've hidden this passage in the hopes it can be wikified, if not, it is a clear situation of inappropriate content. Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons 06:14, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I dont think youve read what youve deleted. It has been wikified. the above comment are from several months ago. And can you stop removing talk page banners?  Bluegoblin  7   07:28, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I have removed no banner Bluegoblin but merge TWP and UKT, I read your conversation with Sambo concerning the presence of both and concerns have been added to your conversation. the concerns of a second user who has stated there is no need for two UKT banners will also be added. The comments here being one month old are perfectly contemporary particularly if the issue is outstanding. I paid much attention to your contributions and consider them inappropriate for wikipedia especially with your justification: Personally, I think that it allows people to "plan their days" so to speak - if they have a limited amount of time, they can choose what to and what to not see. Wikipedia is not the place for tourism information. Wikipedia's sister project Wikitravel is however the place to put such information. Be attentive and note I did not remove nor delete your contributions but hid them from the article body as there may be information worthy of retention. Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons 09:47, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

A Day At Crich Tramway Village
Can I just say that, following the recent removal and then re-placement of this, it is infac copyrighted by The Tram Centre, a website which I own, and I have placed it myself on Wikipedia, and I do not mind it being edited, which it was to become suitable for Wikipedia. Most information on this page is either re-used or taken from my website, and that is becuase I have placed it here, without any copyright restrictions. Bluegoblin7 09:01, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

 * I don't feel responsible for your reaction following polite and well spoken concerns, concerns shared by other users. your reaction was clearly overblown despite calm replies. Least you could do is make an effort in prose to express yourself, if you have worries, that would be the best way to share them. Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons</i> 09:43, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Crich Tramway Village/NTM
I propose a split of this article, putting the village and attractions in more depth at the village page, and have this one focus more on the museum, tramcars, buildings (the histories etc) and the TMS etc.

What does everyone think?

Thanks,

 BG  7   14:56, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

 * I suggest a merge would make more sense. Aren't they an integrated complex these days? Gordonofcartoon (talk) 17:56, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
 * It would really make more sense to integrate the NTM article into CTV, as the latter is also the location for various other events (eg Red October Day). The "Museum" is in the village but the biggest highlight is that it is meant to be a period location, I would say. Asterion talk 18:09, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Fountain_pen_inks

The article Fountain_pen_inks has been proposed for deletion  because of the following concern:
 * Non-notable subject

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

Properly listing AFDs

That's it, thanks! Keep up the good work. --Zoz (t) 20:58, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Noodler's Ink
Another editor has added the "prod" template to the article Noodler's Ink, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also What Wikipedia is not and Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the prod template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Orphaned non-free media (File:Saint michaels college logo.svg)
Thanks for uploading File:Saint michaels college logo.svg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:54, 12 June 2013 (UTC)
