Word order

The basic word order is SOV (subject-object-verb), although in colloquial speech and for reasons of emphasis (stress) other word orders are possible.

Examples:

I'm going home. = Eve gidiyorum.

ev = house, home
eve = to the house
gitmek = to go
gidiyor = s/he is going
gidiyorum = I am going

I want to go home = Eve gitmek istiyorum.

istemek = to want
istiyorum = I want

How are you? = Nasılsınız?

nasıl = how
-sınız = you are (plural you or respect form singular you as in French vous, German Sie)

İyiyim. = I'm well.

iyi = good
-yim = I am

Bugün, iyi değilim. = I'm not well today.

bugün = today
değil = not
-im = I am
değilim = I am not
