Calculating uses quantities and operations to work out a result. This lesson follows a total, its component costs and a correction.
The idea
Use the accusative for a specific total: ücreti hesaplamak. The present narrows hesapla- to hesaplı-; hesaba katmak means to include or take into account.
| Person | Present continuous | Past | Future |
|---|---|---|---|
| ben | hesaplıyorum | hesapladım | hesaplayacağım |
| sen | hesaplıyorsun | hesapladın | hesaplayacaksın |
| o | hesaplıyor | hesapladı | hesaplayacak |
| biz | hesaplıyoruz | hesapladık | hesaplayacağız |
| siz | hesaplıyorsunuz | hesapladınız | hesaplayacaksınız |
| onlar | hesaplıyorlar | hesapladılar | hesaplayacaklar |
Examples
- Ben toplam ücreti hesaplıyorum.I am calculating the total cost.
- Dün yol masraflarını hesapladık.Yesterday we calculated the travel expenses.
- Yarın kişi başına düşen tutarı hesaplayacağım.Tomorrow I will calculate the amount per person.
- Bir defter 20 lira ise dört defter 80 liradır.If one notebook costs 20 lira, four notebooks cost 80 lira.
- Kargo ücretini de hesaba katın.Include the shipping charge in the calculation too.
- Toplamı yeniden hesapladım; ilk sonuç yanlıştı.I recalculated the total; the first result was wrong.

Watch out
A calculation can still be wrong. Hesapladım reports the operation, whereas doğru hesapladım says the result was calculated correctly.
