There are two past tense forms in Turkish, both of which have been used since the Old Turkish period. Our suffixes for the witnessed past tense are "-dI / -dU." This suffix is explained as the witnessed past tense because the action occurred in front of the speaker's eyes in the past. Our suffixes for the inferential past tense are "-mIş / -mUş." These suffixes express that the action took place at an unseen time in the past. In today's written language, only "-mIş / -mUş" suffixes are used as the inferential past tense markers. ref: https://turkishstudies.net/DergiTamDetay.aspx?ID=14135 |
