B2Module 5M5.3Editing guide
Reported nominal clauses: olduğunu / olacağını
Part 3 of Module 5. Some sentences have no action verb at all — “Yorgunum,” “Öğretmenim.” To report those you borrow a verb: olmak. Same machine as the last two lessons, with ol- dropped in. This lesson also covers the reporting verbs beyond söyledi. 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. The Turkish text has to be letter-perfect; the visuals are yours to make better.

The 10 beats
1
Intro — piece 2
Host + title · 00:11
Says“Now let's move to the second piece of modül 5: reporting isim cümleleri, nominal sentences.”
On screen
2 · İSİM CÜMLELERİ
reported nominal / equational sentences
How it movesSame section card as M5.1 — this is “2”. The module has three pieces, not four: fiil cümleleri (M5.1 + M5.2) is piece 1, this is piece 2, and reported questions in M5.4 is piece 3. Keeping that numbering consistent across the four videos is what makes the module read as one thing.

What a nominal sentence is
Concept · 00:24
Says“These are the sentences without a real action verb. They're formed with nouns or adjectives, and there is a hidden ‘to be’ — that's the personal suffixes.”
On screen
İsim cümlesi — no action verb
- built from a noun or an adjective
- the “to be” is hidden in the personal ending
Yorgunum. · Öğretmenim. · Evdeyiz.
How it movesHeading, then the two points build in. The three mini examples at the bottom are the proof — bring them in together and emphasise just the personal ending on each, so the “the ‘am/is/are’ is hiding in that” idea is visible rather than stated. If you want one image: an empty verb slot with a dotted outline.

The fix — borrow olmak
Concept · 00:40
Says“To make reported nominal clauses, we use the verb olmak. Let's look at the example. Ali ‘yorgunum’ dedi. Ali yorgun olduğunu söyledi.”
On screen
No verb to nominalize? Borrow one: olmak
Ali “yorgunum” dedi.
Ali yorgun olduğunu söyledi.
Ali said that he was tired.
How it movesThis is the beat the lesson turns on, so make the borrowing visible: the empty verb slot from beat 2 sits there, then ol- drops into it and immediately takes the -DIğInI ending from M5.1. Then the transformation: quote marks peel away, yorgunum loses its personal ending and becomes yorgun olduğunu, dedi becomes söyledi.
MakeA simple flat icon: an empty dotted verb slot, with ol- sliding in to fill it. One colour, transparent PNG. Reuse it in beat 4 for the future version.

The future version — olacağını
Concept · 00:59
Says“If we want to make it in the future, as we learned in the previous video, we can use -AcAK. Ali ‘yorgun olacağım’ dedi. Ali yorgun olacağını söyledi. Basically we're applying the same rule with a different verb — olmak — for the nominal clauses.”
On screen
Ali “yorgun olacağım” dedi.
Ali yorgun olacağını söyledi.
Ali said that he would be tired.
same machine — just ol- instead of a real verb
How it movesShow it as a swap, not a new build: hold olduğunu from the previous beat and let the -DIK part morph into -AcAK → olacağını. That single swap says “same rule, different tense” better than any wording. Then run the sentence pair.
5
Person by person — olduğunu
Table · 01:35
Says“Let's remember the possessive suffixes with olmak.” — then she reads each line.
On screen
benim→olduğumuthat I am / was
senin→olduğunuthat you are / were
onun→olduğunuthat he / she is / was
bizim→olduğumuzuthat we are / were
sizin→olduğunuzuthat you all are / were
onların→olduklarınıthat they are / were
onların→olduğunuthat they are / were — also fine
How it movesLine at a time, possessive piece emphasised — identical layout and motion to the tables in M5.1 and M5.2, so students recognise it as the same set they already learned, just on ol-. Bring the second onların option in beside the first with an “or”, not replacing it.
6
Person by person — olacağını
Table · 02:07
Says“With the future, it's going to be olacak.” — then she reads each line.
On screen
benim→olacağımıthat I will be
senin→olacağınıthat you will be
onun→olacağınıthat he / she will be
bizim→olacağımızıthat we will be
sizin→olacağınızıthat you all will be
onların→olacaklarınıthat they will be
onların→olacağınıthat they will be — also fine
How it movesTwo tables back to back risks feeling flat. Best move: don't rebuild — hold the beat 5 list and morph oldu- into olaca- down the whole column at once. One transformation, and the parallel is obvious. Note the vowels also flip from u-type to ı-type; if the morph makes that visible, even better.
7
Choosing the reporting verb
Concept · 02:37
Says“What verb you attach it to depends on the nature of the reporting — who is speaking, how formally, and in what context. Here are some of the most common ones.” — then she goes through them one by one, each with the same Ali sentence.
On screen
söyledi—saidneutral, everyday — the default
belirtti—statedmore formal · news, official
iletti—conveyed / relayedpassing on someone else's message
duyduk—we heardsecondhand
bildirdi—reported / announcedformal, institutional
açıkladı—explained / announcedformal · politics, school
itiraf etti—confessedadmitting something
How it movesShe demonstrates each verb by swapping it into the same sentence — so build that: hold Ali yorgun olduğunu ______. on screen and let only the last word change as she names each one. That single fixed frame with one moving slot teaches the point (the clause doesn't change, only the reporting verb) and saves you seven separate builds. The English gloss and the register note ride in beside it each time.
NoteShe doesn't actually say the word belirtti out loud at 03:41 — she says only “this is more formal, means stated.” The word itself needs to be on screen for that line to make sense, so make sure it's up before she speaks.

The reporting verbs in real sentences
Examples · 05:17
Says“Let's look at different examples now.” — then she reads each sentence.
On screen
Yetkililer projenin tamamlandığını belirtti.
The officials stated that the project was completed.
Asistanım toplantının ertelendiğini iletti.
My assistant conveyed that the meeting was postponed.
Onun işten ayrıldığını duyduk.
We heard that he left the job.
O yanlış yaptığını itiraf etti.
He confessed that he did something wrong.
ImagesA simple supporting image per sentence — your pick, just starting points: a finished building / a podium announcement · a meeting moved in a calendar · an empty desk with the nameplate gone · someone owning up across a table. Each of these has a clear register (official / office / gossip / personal) — leaning the image into that register is what makes the reporting-verb choice feel real. This is your beat to make beautiful.
How it movesOne at a time; clear each before the next. Emphasise the nominalized clause as she reads it, and let the reporting verb at the end land last and separately — it's the word this beat is teaching. Carrying over the little register label from beat 7 (formal / relaying / secondhand / admission) onto each sentence would tie the two beats together nicely.
NoteIn the third one the subject takes the genitive — Onun işten ayrıldığını, not “O.” Same in the first two: projenin, toplantının. She doesn't explain it on camera, so don't add anything to the screen — just type them exactly as written here.

Negation — olmadığını
Rule + examples · 06:02
Says“To make negative, of course we bring the negative suffix -ma / -me.” — then she reads the three pairs.
On screen
değil → olmadığını
“Ben hasta değilim.”
Ben hasta olmadığımı söyledim.
I said that I was not sick.
O “öğretmen değilim” dedi.
O öğretmen olmadığını söyledi.
He said that he was not a teacher.
Biz “evde değiliz” dedik.
Biz evde olmadığımızı söyledik.
We said that we were not at home.
ImagesSimple supporting images — your pick: someone waving off a thermometer · a person stepping away from a classroom / blackboard · an empty living room, nobody home.
How it movesThe rule line first, and make it a replacement: değil disappears and -ma- slides into ol- in its place. That's the actual thing to learn here — the negative word in the direct sentence doesn't survive; it becomes a suffix. Then run the three pairs in the same before → after rhythm as the other lessons, with the -ma-/-me- landing separately each time.

Outro
Host + end card · 06:53
Says“Okay, this is the end of the video. In the next video we will learn question words. Görüşürüz!”
On screen
End card
“Exercises below” · “Next lesson →” · channel branding
How it movesFade up the end card over her sign-off, per the house style. She teases reported questions next — a small “?” motif on the next-lesson tile would hook it.
