Time clauses: -DIğI zaman & -DIğIndA

The first of Module 2's “when” structures — two of them in one video. 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.

Welcome to Module 2

Host

Says“Welcome to Module 2. Last module we learned zarf-fiiller; this module is a different family — time clauses built from nominalised verbs. We'll cover four related structures, all meaning some version of ‘when’: -DIğI zaman, -AcAğI zaman, -DIğI sırada, -DIğIndA. By the end you'll know exactly which one to reach for. Let's start with the first — -DIğI zaman.”

On screen
MODULE 2 — time clauses (“when”)
the four we'll cover:
-DIğI zaman-AcAğI zaman-DIğI sırada-DIğIndA

How it movesA module-opener title, then the four structures appear as chips. As she says “let's start with the first,” lift / highlight -DIğI zaman and let the other three fall back — that hands off cleanly into the next beat.

Part A — -DIğI zaman · “when” (past / habitual)

Meaning

Concept

Says“-DIğI zaman means ‘when’ — used for something that already happened, or that happens habitually. Literally, zaman just means ‘time,’ so it's saying something like ‘at the time that he did X.’”

On screen
-DIğI zaman = when
for the past or habitual — “at the time that…”  (zaman = time)

How it movesWord card + “= when” stamp, consistent with how we introduce every suffix. When she unpacks “zaman = time,” briefly isolate zaman and show its literal meaning.

The structure

Formula

Says“Let's break it down. We have the verb stem, then -DIğI — that's the past participle plus the third-person possessive — and then zaman.”

On screen
verb stem+-DIğI+zaman
-DIğI = past participle -DIK + possessive -I

How it movesBuild the formula block by block. When she explains -DIğI, you can briefly split it into its two pieces (participle + possessive) under the block, then recombine — optional, but it demystifies the suffix.

4

4-way vowel harmony + the d→t rule

Table

Says“zaman follows the four-way vowel harmony rule — dığı, diği, duğu, düğü zaman. And if the stem ends in one of the fıstıkçı şahap consonants, the d turns into t — tığı, tiği, tuğu, tüğü zaman.”

On screen
Last vowelSuffixafter f s t k ç ş h p
a, ı → ı-dığı zaman-tığı zaman
e, i → i-diği zaman-tiği zaman
o, u → u-duğu zaman-tuğu zaman
ö, ü → ü-düğü zaman-tüğü zaman

How it movesBuild the four rows for the vowel harmony first (emphasise the changing vowel). Then, on the d→t point, reveal/emphasise the right-hand column together — the d flipping to t is the thing to make visible. A small “fıstıkçı şahap” memory-hook label for those consonants is a nice touch.

5

Conjugation — all six persons

Table · verb: gelmek

Says“The possessive suffix changes depending on the subject. Let's look with the verb gelmek — Ben geldiğim zaman, Sen geldiğin zaman, O geldiği zaman, Biz geldiğimiz zaman, Siz geldiğiniz zaman, Onlar geldikleri zaman.”

On screen
PronoungelmekEnglish
Bengeldiğim zamanwhen I come / came
Sengeldiğin zamanwhen you come / came
Ogeldiği zamanwhen s/he comes / came
Bizgeldiğimiz zamanwhen we come / came
Sizgeldiğiniz zamanwhen you (pl) come / came
Onlargeldikleri zamanwhen they come / came
(for Onlar, geldiği zaman also works)

How it movesBuild the table row by row as she says each person, emphasising the possessive ending that changes (-im, -in, -i, -imiz, -iniz, -leri). The English column can appear alongside so meaning tracks form. Keep zaman steady on the right so students see only the possessive moving.

Sentence examples

Examples

Says“Now let's look at the sentence examples.” — then she reads each one.

On screen
Onlar geldikleri zaman toplantı çoktan başlamıştı.
The meeting had already started when they came.
Ders başladığı zaman kapıyı kapatır mısın?
Will you close the door when class starts?
Sen müsait olduğun zaman buluşalım.
Let's meet when you're free.
Eve geldiğin zaman yemek yapıyordum.
When you came home, I was cooking.
Hava soğuduğu zaman kalın giyinirim.
When it gets cold, I dress warmly.
ImagesA simple supporting image per sentence (your pick): people arriving at a meeting · a classroom door · two people scheduling a meet-up · cooking at home · bundling up in cold weather.

How it movesOne at a time; sweep-emphasise the -DIğI zaman phrase as she reads it, English slides up under. Your take on the visuals.

Making it negative

Rule + examples

Says“To make it negative, we bring in the negative suffix -ma / -me before the participle. Ben gelmediğim zaman, Sen gelmediğin zaman, and so on.”

On screen
gelmediğim zaman — when I don't / didn't come
add -mA- right before -DIğI
Ben gelmediğim zaman ne yaptınız?
What did you do when I wasn't there?
Sen konuşmadığın zaman ortam çok sessiz oluyor.
When you don't talk, it gets very quiet.
Param yetmediği zaman alışveriş yapamam.
When my money isn't enough, I can't shop.

How it movesTake the positive geldiğim zaman and drop the -me- in before the suffix — emphasise that inserted piece so the “where the negative goes” lands. Then the three example sentences, one at a time.

Part B — -DIğIndA · “once / right when”
8

Meet -DIğIndA

Concept

Says“-DIğIndA also means ‘when.’ You form the same meaning by attaching the locative -DA onto -DIğI, written as one word — so -DIğIndA is the shorter version of -DIğI zaman. If we dive into the nuance: -DIğI zaman is like ‘at the time when,’ and -DIğIndA is more like ‘once / right when.’”

On screen
-DIğIndA = when
geldiği+-degeldiğinde
the shorter -DIğI zaman · leans more “right when / once”

How it movesShow -DIğIndA = when, then build it on screen: take geldiği, add the locative -de, and fuse into one word geldiğinde — emphasise the joined -inde. A small side-note contrasting “at the time when” vs “right when” helps the nuance land.

9

Conjugation + the d→t rule

Table · verb: gelmek

Says“Again the possessive changes by subject — Ben geldiğimde, Sen geldiğinde, O geldiğinde, Biz geldiğimizde, Siz geldiğinizde, Onlar geldiklerinde. And d turns into t after the fıstıkçı şahap consonants — like yapmak → yaptığımda.”

On screen
PronoungelmekEnglish
Bengeldiğimdewhen I come / came
Sengeldiğindewhen you come / came
Ogeldiğindewhen s/he comes / came
Bizgeldiğimizdewhen we come / came
Sizgeldiğinizdewhen you (pl) come / came
Onlargeldiklerindewhen they come / came
yapmakyaptığımdad → t after p

How it movesBuild the table as she lists the persons, emphasising the -DA ending fused on. Then show the yapmak → yaptığımda example, flipping the d to t — same softening rule as -DIğI zaman, so a quick callback works.

ImagesA simple supporting image per sentence (your pick): arriving to an empty room · taking a phone call in a meeting · getting caught as rain starts · a crowd applauding · people reacting in shock to news.

How it movesOne at a time; sweep-emphasise the -DIğIndA phrase as she reads it, English slides up under. These lean “right when,” so a snappier, more punctual feel than Part A fits nicely.

Outro

Host + end card

Says“Alright, that was the end of the video. In the next one we'll learn another suffix. Görüşürüz — thank you!”

On screen
End card
“Exercises below”  ·  “Next lesson →”  ·  channel branding

How it movesFade up the outro / end card over her sign-off, per the house style. Let it breathe.
