"Ben çıkıyorum."

Translation: I am going out.

[Shahzad007]

Why didn't k in "çıkmak" become ğ because there is a vowel before and after k in çıkıyorum ??????
just like "çilek" becomes "çileğim" and gitmek becomes gidiyorum

[Salp_]

I'm confused as to what exactly çıkmak means.

Çıkıyorum = I'm going, I'm leaving - from my understanding

I'm going out for some drinks, I'm going out with my boyfriend... The going out here is a bit different.

[DanMan101]

"I am getting out" should be acceptable, right?

[AlexinNotTurkey]

If you are talking about a car, yes. :) If you are talking about prison, no. :D

[Dakota_Marz]

So is "çıkıyorum'' more like the spanish verb ''salir'' or ''irse'' or both?

[j.wilder]

More like salir. The verb corresponding to "ir" in Spanish would be "gitmek."

[Daario1]

Why not "I am going outside?"

[AlexinNotTurkey]

"to go outside" is specifically 'dışarıya çıkmak"

[TylerGilli]

do you need the ben?

[Irmak-iKittyCat]

no, since the "um" bit of "cikiyorum" points out that it's me.

[AndyZyon]

I am leaving.

[maguskrool]

Could it be "I'm leaving"?

[MalektajAr]

Hi , " Ben çikiyorum " is correct , or " Ben çıkıyorum " ?

[mizinamo]

Hi , " Ben çikiyorum " is correct , or " Ben çıkıyorum " ?

çıkıyorum (undotted ı) is correct.

[MalektajAr]

Thanks a lot...

What is the diffrent berween " i " and " ı " in Turkish?

[mizinamo]

What is the diffrent berween " i " and " ı " in Turkish?

They are two different vowels, like ö and o or ü and u.

i ö ü (the "dotted" vowels) are front vowels; ı o u (the "undotted" vowels) are back vowels. e is also front and a is also back.

Replacing i with ı or the other way around would be like mixing up any two vowels, like writing "bad" instead of "bed" in English, for example -- the two are separate vowels.

Thank you so much .
