Describe an ordinary clothing change and locate the changing room.
The idea
The stem soyun- gives soyunuyorum, soyundum and soyunacağım. Soyunma odası names a changing room; here soyunma names an activity, not a negative command.
| Person | Present continuous | Past | Future |
|---|---|---|---|
| ben | soyunuyorum | soyundum | soyunacağım |
| sen | soyunuyorsun | soyundun | soyunacaksın |
| o | soyunuyor | soyundu | soyunacak |
| biz | soyunuyoruz | soyunduk | soyunacağız |
| siz | soyunuyorsunuz | soyundunuz | soyunacaksınız |
| onlar | soyunuyorlar | soyundular | soyunacaklar |

Watch out
For taking off a named jacket, use ceketimi çıkardım. Soyundum describes getting undressed without requiring a garment object.
Try it yourself

soyunuyorum
soyunuyorum: the present action belongs to ben, so the form ends in -um.

Show answer or example answer
soyunduk
soyunduk: yesterday requires the past, and -k identifies the whole group including the speaker.

Show answer or example answer
çıkarıyorum
çıkarıyorum: ceketimi names one garment as object, so choose the verb for taking it off.
