"What time are we going?"

Translation: Saat kaçta gidiyoruz?

[SheridanZhoy]

Is "Ne zaman gidiyoruz" correct?

[GokhanDamgaci]

Yes, it is correct. We use it everyday in Turkish. In fact, the literal translation of "what time" is "Ne zaman", not "Saat kaçta"? So both should be accepted.

[0o0o0o0oo]

Yes i think so too

[ex_contributor]

ne zaman is "when", so it is not necessarily asking for the exact time. Therefore, no.

[HananAhmed50]

That is correct but I think
"Saat kaçta" means "at what time"
" Saat kaç" means " what time"

[gunce1]

Ne zaman gidiyoruz? Altıda gidiyoruz. I think

[GokhanDamgaci]

"Ne zaman gidiyoruz?" should be accepted too. It is neither wrong or unnatural. We use it in Turkish in daily language.

"What time are we going?"
Translation: Saat kaçta gidiyoruz?

&

Saat kaçta gidiyoruz? At what time are we going?

Locative suffixes -te, -ta, -de, -da.

At what time are we going? is accurate as ("at" -ta) is the locative of "time."

[Diaan663952]

Why is it not: saat kaç gidiyoruz?

[Will709432]

I think Saat Kaçta is "at" what time. Need mods on here to confirm. Don't hold your breath though. :)

I am a bit confused^_^ Can it be "gidiyoruz saat kaçta?" Because in a previous lesson, I learned "akşam yemeği saat kaçta?" ---> "what time is the dinner?" So what I perceived is that the English format is same in both so we can use either format in turkish as well ( of using the question words in the start or either at the end). Am I right??

[Atanz3]

İ had the same question, İ believe it is because the subject is first. İn 'saat kaçta gidiyoruz' the subject is 'biz' which would come first but has been omitted to simplify the sentence.

[Ehrenfrau]

Why does "Saat kaçta gidiyor muyuz" not work? Is the question doubled?

[Kind_Nepenthe]

Yes, exactly. "Saat kaçta" already implies that the sentence is a question, I believe, the way "hangi" and "kim" do. So "mu" would only be necessary if it's not otherwise clear whether or not the sentence being said is a question. As an example,

• Şimdi gidiyoruz = We're going now.

• Şimdi gidiyor muyuz? = Are we going now?

• Onu yiyeceksin = You are going to eat that.

• Onu yiyecek misin = Are you going to eat that?

It's a mistake I keep making too, from time to time, because my brain just sees it as a verbal question mark and it is exactly that, but it's not always necessary.

What's wrong with 'kaç saatta gidiyoruz'?

[nabi71]

You say is "how many hours we are going"

[sbsamankan]

thanks

[MarionNot]

Why is it wrong to add "biz" here, as in "Saat kaçta biz gidiyoruz"?

[AlexinNotTurkey]

Normally "biz" would go at the beginning of the sentence. Yours isn't wrong though and it has been added as an alternate.
