Module 4 opens with -DIkçA — and it's a relief after the last modules: no possessive suffix, same for every subject. It has two meanings (“the more… the more” and “whenever / each time”), and the negative flips to “unless.” 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“Welcome to Module 4. In the previous modules we covered converbs for time and reason. Now we'll look at a structure that expresses proportion and repetition — that is, -DIkçA.”
How it movesA module-opener title, then hand off to -DIkçA as she names it.
Says“-DIkçA has two related meanings. One is ‘the more…, the more…’ The second is ‘whenever’ or ‘each time.’”
How it movesBring up the two meanings as two clear lines — they're the spine of the whole lesson (each gets its own examples later). Keep them both on screen together so students see -DIkçA does two jobs; you'll return to each separately.
Says“This suffix is very simple, because there are no possessive suffixes.”
How it movesAfter all the -DIğI-... structures with their shifting possessives, the story here is “it's simple.” Make that land — maybe a quick visual beat that there's nothing between the stem and -DIkçA. That relief is a genuine teaching moment.
Says“-DIkçA follows the four-way vowel harmony rule. And if the verb ends in one of the fıstıkçı şahap consonants, the d turns into t.”
| Last vowel | Suffix | after f s t k ç ş h p |
|---|---|---|
| a, ı → ı | -dıkça | -tıkça |
| e, i → i | -dikçe | -tikçe |
| o, u → u | -dukça | -tukça |
| ö, ü → ü | -dükçe | -tükçe |
How it movesBuild the four rows (emphasise the changing vowel); on the d→t point, emphasise the right-hand column. They know this rule well by now — quick.
Says“Let me give you some examples.” (she lists a few verbs in their -DIkçA form)
How it movesOne at a time; the -DIkçA ending types on with its suffix emphasised — note the bak → baktıkça shows the d→t. Type whatever she actually says — the transcript garbled her first verb, so match her audio for that one; the set here covers all four vowel groups + the t/d.
Says“Now let's look at the meanings in action. The more, the more…” — then she reads each one.
How it movesOne at a time; sweep-emphasise the -DIkçA word as she reads it, English slides up under. The “the more → the more” rise is the feeling to capture here.
Says“Now let's look at the examples for ‘whenever, each time.’” — then she reads each one.
How it movesOne at a time; sweep-emphasise the -DIkçA word as she reads it, English slides up under. This is the “each time it repeats” meaning — a looping / recurring feel suits it.
Says“To make it negative, we attach the negative suffix -me / -ma. For example, gelmedikçe, yapmadıkça.”
How it movesInsert the -me- before -DIkçA and emphasise it — but the key idea to surface is that the meaning flips to “unless.” A small “not … = unless” cue helps, since that shift surprises learners. Then the four sentences, one at a time.
Says“That's the end of the lesson. In the next one we'll learn another suffix. Görüşürüz!”
