If you use Turkish at home, you already have language to build on. Here you will make a familiar reply understandable to someone who has not heard the conversation. Family usage varies; there is no single heritage variety to replace.
The idea
A short reply such as Parkta. works after Nerede buluşuyoruz? because the question supplies the action. In a message without that question, write Parkta buluşuyoruz. Standard writing still allows an omitted subject pronoun: the ending identifies who is involved. Add the missing context, not a pronoun to every sentence.
| Question in the conversation | Short reply | Message without the question |
|---|---|---|
| Nerede buluşuyoruz? | Parkta. | Parkta buluşuyoruz. |
| Ne zaman geliyorsun? | Yarın. | Yarın geliyorum. |
| Kime yazıyorsun? | Anneme. | Anneme yazıyorum. |
Examples
- Akşam parkta buluşuyoruz.We are meeting in the park this evening.
- Yarın eve geliyorum.I am coming home tomorrow.
- Bugün anneme yazıyorum.I am writing to my mother today.
- Ben de evdeyim.I am at home too.
- Sen de geliyor musun?Are you coming too?
- Evde Türkçe konuşuyoruz.We speak Turkish at home.

Watch out
Do not treat family speech as defective or make every message formal. A short reply can work in writing too if the context is clear. Separately check spelling: Ben de evdeyim. and Sen de geliyor musun? have spaces that fluent speech may not make obvious.
Try it yourself
After Nerede buluşuyoruz?, you reply Parkta. Write a two-word message using parkta and buluşuyoruz for a reader who has not seen the question.
Show answer or example answer
Parkta buluşuyoruz. / Buluşuyoruz parkta.
Parkta buluşuyoruz. / Buluşuyoruz parkta.: the verb tells the reader that this is a meeting, not simply a location. Its ending already includes “we”.
After Ne zaman geliyorsun?, you reply Yarın. Use only yarın and geliyorum to write a message that also names your action.
Show answer or example answer
Yarın geliyorum. / Geliyorum yarın.
Yarın geliyorum. / Geliyorum yarın.: the added verb identifies the action and the speaker. Yarın alone only tells the time; ben is optional here.
Complete Ben ___ evdeyim. to mean “I am at home too”. Write only the missing word.
Show answer or example answer
de
de: this means “too”, adding the speaker to someone else who is at home. The location is already expressed inside evdeyim.
Ask one familiar person “Are you coming too?” Complete Sen de geliyor ___? with the question form and person ending together.
Show answer or example answer
musun
musun: the last vowel of geliyor is o, so the question uses mu, with -sun for one familiar addressee. Write musun separately from geliyor.
