How would you say... When duo comes, we will eat cake?
Or... would the change in tense of yedik to yiyeceğiz change the passive tense of gelince
I trıed to use gel as past tense and was hopeless!
so can you explain geldi-ğinde for me.
ıs İnce current tense use only and İnde ıf past tense ıs apparent.
geldiğinde = gelince. they both do not indicate any tense, the tense is indicated by the second verb, the predicate.and it is not geldi-ğinde. it is gel-dik-i-n-de
When duo comes, we will eat cake = Duo gelince/geldiğinde pasta yiyeceğiz/yeriz.

Your grammar explanations are amazing with a clarity & preciseness only seen in some of my Turkish Grammar books. I know you are retired but your topic comments are enduring still to this day after 4 years.
I (miss) you so much as a Duo MOD.
In Turkish:
Sezen Aksu - Geri Dön.
Geri dön geri dön, ne olur geri dön. Uzanıp tutuver elimi bir gün, utanır diyemem ne olur geri dön?
Her şey seni hatırlatır da yeniden - Every one of your Duo comments to this day reminds us learners of you as if brand new & you are still a MOD.
May not be accurate in English (the above) Song & my translation. I feel a bit emotional at the moment.
I wish you every happiness in whatever you are now doing.
I know it's come up before, but just to make sure:
Yedik - we ate cake. Yerdik - we had eaten cake.
Is that right?
