B2Module 3M3.1Editing guide
Reason clauses: -DIğI için
The first “because” structure, opening Module 3 (reason & cause). It reuses the same -DIğI base from -DIğI zaman — just with için instead of zaman. 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 3
Host · 00:11
Says“Welcome to Module 3. In Module 2 we saw clauses built from nominalised verbs. In this module we're looking at reason and cause clauses — how to say ‘because’ — using the same -DIğI patterns. Let's start with the first structure: -DIğI için.”
On screen
MODULE 3 — reason & cause (“because”)
first structure: -DIğI için
How it movesA module-opener title, then hand off to -DIğI için as she names it. A quick nod that it's the same -DIğI from last module (new word after it) frames the whole lesson as “you already know the hard part.”

Meaning
Concept · 01:40
Says“-DIğI için means ‘because.’ için literally means ‘for’ or ‘for the sake of,’ so we're saying ‘for the reason that he did X.’ It's the easiest and most common way to express cause and effect in Turkish, and it works for past, habitual, and future situations.”
On screen
-DIğI için = because
için = for / for the sake of → “for the reason that…”
the most common, easiest “because” · works for past, habitual & future
How it movesWord card + “= because” stamp. When she unpacks için, briefly isolate it and show its literal “for / for the sake of” so the logic (“for the reason that…”) clicks.

The structure
Formula · 02:48
Says“Let's break it down. We have the verb stem, then -DIğI — that's -DIK plus the possessive, which depends on the subject again — and then the word için.”
On screen
verb stem+-DIğI+için
-DIğI = past participle -DIK + possessive (the same base as -DIğI zaman)
How it movesBuild the formula block by block. Since -DIğI is the exact base from last module, a quick callback — “same -DIğI, new word” — saves re-teaching and rewards what they learned.
4
4-way vowel harmony + the d→t rule
Table · 03:08
Says“-DIğI için follows the four-way vowel harmony rule — dığı, diği, duğu, düğü için. And if the stem ends in one of the fıstıkçı şahap consonants, the d turns into t — tığı, tiği için.”
How it movesBuild the four rows for the vowel harmony (emphasise the changing vowel). Then, on the d→t point, reveal/emphasise the right-hand column together — the d flipping to t. Same rule as -DIğI zaman, so a quick callback works.
5
Conjugation — all six persons
Table · verb: gelmek · 03:32
Says“Let's look at the verb gelmek — Ben geldiğim için, Sen geldiğin için, O geldiği için, Biz geldiğimiz için, Siz geldiğiniz için, Onlar geldikleri için.”
On screen
(for Onlar, geldiği için 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). Keep için steady on the right so only the possessive is seen to move; the English column tracks the meaning.

Sentence examples
Examples · 04:05
Says“Let's look at some sentence examples now.” — then she reads each one.
On screen
Yorgun olduğum için erken yattım.
Because I was tired, I went to bed early.
Hava yağmurlu olduğu için dışarı çıkmadık.
Because it was rainy, we didn't go outside.
Geç kaldığın için herkes seni bekledi.
Because you were late, everyone waited for you.
Fiyatlar yükseldiği için insanlar daha az alışveriş yapıyor.
Because prices have risen, people shop less.
Ben hastalandığım için derse gelemedim.
Because I got sick, I couldn't come to class.
ImagesA simple supporting image per sentence (your pick): someone tired going to bed early · rain keeping people indoors · a group waiting for a latecomer · rising prices / fewer shopping bags · someone sick, missing class.
How it movesOne at a time; sweep-emphasise the -DIğI için phrase (the reason) as she reads it, English slides up under. Since these are cause→effect, a small “reason → result” feel across the sentence reads nicely.
Negative — add -mA-

Making it negative
Rule + table · 05:35
Says“To make it negative, we bring the negative suffix -me / -ma — gelmediğim için. Ben gelmediğim için, Sen gelmediğin için, and so on.”
On screen
gelmediğim için — because I didn't come
add -mA- before -DIğI
How it movesTake the positive geldiğim için and drop the -me- in before the participle — emphasise that inserted piece. Then build the table; keep -me- highlighted down every row so the pattern is unmistakable. Same negative rule as -DIğI zaman.
