In Turkish, when you have two verbs in the same sentence, you are free to not conjugate the first one. You use a suffix ıp/ip/up/üp instead of adding the tense and personal suffixes.
Dışarı çıkıp temiz hava aldım. Dışarı çıktım ve temiz hava aldım.
I went out and took fresh air.
I did them in a row and as I used -ıp, I do not need to say "ve sonra"(and then) after the first verb. -ıp do the job and sound like I did the fırst thing to do the second.
Televizyon izleyip müzik dinleyeceğim. Televizyon izleyeceğim ve müzik dinleyeceğim.
I will watch TV and listen to music.
This is future tense, maybe you do something else between, it does not necssarily mean they have a time relationship. -ip just replaced the word "ve"(and).
Yemek yiyip konuşuyorlar. Yemek yiyorlar ve konuşuyorlar.
They are eating dinner and talking.
As this is present continuous, we can guess/think that they do these two at the same time. So you do not need to say "aynı anda/aynı zamanda"(at the same time)
So, what is the formula?
take the verb stem
look at the last vowel
if it is a,ı then use ıp yap-mak ,yap, a --> yapıp yapmak: to do
e,i --> ip gidip gitmek: to go
o,u --> up sorup sormak: to ask
ö,ü --> üp görüp görmek: to see
And if your verb stem ends with a vowel, then add y also. susa-mak, susa, a --> susayıp susamak: to get thursty
I hope that you defeated one more suffix and now it is less likely for you to get confused with the verb forms when you see them. Have a nice day!
