Verbals in Turkish

What is a verbal?

A verbal is a word that is derived from a verb through the use of suffixes. It functions as a noun, adjective, adverb, or conjunction. In this book, verbals are categorized based on their level of difficulty, ranging from A1 to C1, to assist you in understanding and navigating through them.
