"I can't" and "I could not"
How do you use the negative form of "can" in Turkish?
For example, I want to say "I could not stand up" (past tense), and "I can't do more than this".
eg. gitmek
gidemedim - I could not go
gidemem - I can not go
eg. yemek
yiyemedim - I could not eat
yiyemem - I can not eat
For example, I want to say "I could not stand up" (past tense), and "I can't do more than this".
Additional Details:
do I just add "ama" after the verb root, and then the present or past participle ending?eg. gitmek
gidemedim - I could not go
gidemem - I can not go
eg. yemek
yiyemedim - I could not eat
yiyemem - I can not eat
