The suffixed verb is not affected by vowel harmony (like -yor), with the exception of the negative stem of bilmek (“be able to; can”). The composition of suffixed auxiliaries is as follows: any verb root + -a + auxiliary verb Note that suffixed auxiliary verbs in Turkish may have irregular conjugations, different from their regular, non-auxiliary counterparts. Moreover, they may lack some (especially negative & interrogative) forms altogether. See their respective pages for more. ==== Conjugation ==== This is one of the six verbs which act as auxiliaries when suffixed to another verb root. Other members of the group include vermek and yazmak. This verb is unique in that it uses a suppletive stem -me for the negative, which is vowel harmonious. Therefore, this verb would have the form yap-a-maz instead of *yap-a-mez.
