Teaching how to say “until.” Read top to bottom — that's the final video's order. Each beat gives what she says, the exact screen the viewer sees, and how it should move.
Says“Ben Jülide. We're in B2 now — we'll learn a lot of suffixes and get closer to speaking like a native. This level is split into modules, and we're in module 1.”
How it movesStay on her — no big graphics here. The first time she speaks, slide the name tag in from the left; hold ~4s, then fade it out. The badge sits quietly in a top corner through the intro.
Says“Let's not waste time and start with the first topic of B2 — zarf-fiiller.”
How it movesCut to a full-screen title card. The word pops in — a quick scale from ~90% to 100% with a fade. A beat later the subtitle fades up beneath it. It's the chapter opener, so give it room and a clean hold before cutting back to her.
Says“A zarf-fiil is a verb form that acts like an adverb. It links two actions without its own subject or tense, and it modifies the main verb — showing how, when, or under what condition something happens.”
How it movesThe heading appears first. Then the three points build in one at a time (~0.3s apart), each sliding up as it fades — timed to her explaining each; emphasise “adverb” as she says it. When she reaches “how, when, under what condition,” those three words come in as separate chips, left to right.
Says“The first zarf-fiil is -IncAyA kadar. İnceye kadar means ‘until’ — the point where an action ends, or up to which something continues.”
How it movesThe word card comes in. As she says “means until,” stamp the “= until” badge next to it (quick scale-in with a slight overshoot). The sub-line fades in, and a timeline draws left→right and stops at a marked point, landing as she says “the point where an action ends.”
Says“You'll also see -IncAyA dek and değin — same meaning, but more literary or formal. In everyday spoken Turkish, kadar is by far the most common.”
How it movesThe three chips come in from below, staggered: kadar, then dek, then değin. As she says kadar is most common, a small star lands on the kadar chip and the other two dim slightly (to ~60%), so the everyday-vs-formal split reads instantly.
Says“Let's break the structure into parts: the verb stem, then -IncAyA, then one of kadar, dek, or değin.”
How it movesBuild the formula like assembling blocks, timed to her words: the verb-stem block appears, a + fades in, then -IncAyA, then +, then the kadar / dek / değin block. Each comes in as she names it. End on the full formula, held on screen.
Says“-IncAyA kadar follows the four-way vowel harmony rule — ıncaya, inceye, uncaya, ünceye kadar. And if the verb ends in a vowel, add an extra ‘y’.”
| Last vowel | Suffix | If verb ends in a vowel |
|---|---|---|
| a, ı → ı | -ıncaya kadar | -yıncaya kadar |
| e, i → i | -inceye kadar | -yinceye kadar |
| o, u → u | -uncaya kadar | -yuncaya kadar |
| ö, ü → ü | -ünceye kadar | -yünceye kadar |
How it movesBuild the table row by row, top to bottom, timed to her listing ıncaya / inceye / uncaya / ünceye. In each suffix, emphasise the changing vowel (ı, i, u, ü) so the pattern pops. When she says “add an extra y,” reveal and emphasise the whole right-hand column together, making the leading y stand out.
Says“Let's give an example for each vowel…” — then she reads each verb → conjugated pair.
How it movesOne pair at a time. The infinitive appears on the left, an arrow draws right, and the conjugated form types on with its suffix emphasised. Same rhythm for all five. On the last one, aramak → arayıncaya kadar, make the inserted y pop separately so the “+y for vowel-ending verbs” rule lands.
Says“Now let's look at the sentence examples…” — then she reads each sentence below.
How it movesOne sentence at a time — clear the previous before the next. Idea: the Turkish fades / types in; as she reads the -IncAyA kadar / dek phrase, sweep-emphasise just that phrase; then the English slides up underneath, lighter. Hold each long enough to read — but bring your own take.
Says“Notice that -IncAyA kadar can come at the beginning or in the middle of the sentence — but it always comes before the main verb.”
How it movesBring up the rule line, then the two mini examples; in each, emphasise the -IncAyA kadar phrase and underline the main verb, so it's clear the phrase can move but always sits before the verb. A small check mark lands on “before the main verb.”
Says“Alright — that was our first lesson and our first zarf-fiil. Questions in the comments, do the exercises below. See you next lesson — görüşürüz!”
How it movesFade up the outro / end card over her sign-off, with the end-screen elements per the house style we lock on this lesson. Let it breathe.
