Lesson Transcript

Hi everyone, my name is Seda Sürel.
Herkese merhaba, ben Seda Sürel.
Welcome to another Whiteboard lesson.
Today, we will be talking about adverbs of frequency for explaining
how often you do things.
Let's get started.
Haydi başlayalım.
First, let's look at the vocabulary.
Her zaman.
Always.
Her gün.
Every day.
Sık sık.
Often.
Genellikle.
Usually.
Bazen.
Sometimes.
Nadiren.
Seldom.
Hiçbir zaman.
Never.
Her zaman.
Her gün.
Sık sık.
Genellikle.
Bazen.
Nadiren.
Hiçbir zaman.
Okay
let's look at the dialogue.
And let's try to find the adverbs of frequency in the dialogue.
Let's see if we can find it.
Genellikle yemek yapar mısın?
Do you usually cook?
Her zaman yemek yaparım.
I always cook.
Let's look at the other examples
and again try to find the adverbs of frequency.
Her gün çalışırım.
I work every day.
Sık sık futbol oynarım.
I often play soccer.
Let's look at the sentence pattern.
Frequency verb.
This is how the Turkish pattern is structured.
Okay
frequency adverb plus verb.
And don't forget in Turkish
verb must be conjugated to indicate the subject and the tense.
So you don't need another word to use for a subject as in English.
I, you, he, she, it, we, you, they.
You can use them but you don't need to.
So frequency plus verb is enough.
In English it is I, frequency adverb and the real verb.
Let's see the structure in the dialogue
in the sentence.
Her zaman, frequency adverb, yemek yaparım.
Verb
yemek yaparım.
I cook.
Okay
let's see the other two examples.
Her gün
frequency adverb
çalışırım.
Verb
conjugated
I work.
Let's see the last example.
Sık sık futbol oynarım.
Sık sık
frequency of, you know
adverb of frequency
futbol oynarım.
I play soccer.
Okay
good.
And I have a nice culture point for you.
Zarf, which means adverb, has two meanings.
Zarf is adverb such as these
but zarf also means envelope.
This verb is coming from Arabic.
It means to unwrap or, you know, contain something.
It's a container, it's a wrapper.
So a regular envelope, zarf, contains a letter.
And grammar point zarf,
that envelops the meaning.
It gives a modified meaning of a word.
So we think the envelope and adverb are somehow connected to each other.
Both envelops contain something valuable.
It gives you more information.
And it is a tool, it is a medium to bring you that meaning.
So, did you like it?
