If you want to tell yourself in a place as past tense , you can use "past tense with -di " . Example; Orda çok güzel fotoğraflar çekdim. ( I took very beautiful pics there) There are two past tenses in turkish ; Past tense with -di (-di'li geçmiş zaman) --> Regular past tense Past tense with -miş (-miş'li geçmiş zaman) --> Also called the story past tense The use of the past tense with -di is almost the same as the English past tense => "To tell an action that took place in the past." He came. --> Geldi. Past tense with -miş is more different than past tense with -di. It is used to tell when you heard the action from someone else. Example; Ayşe Ali’den ayrılmış (you did not see it, you heard it) Hope It will be useful for you , Good luck ! :)
