- Don't get tricked into thinking you need this book ...
The 201 (or 501 or whatever) verbs books have been around for a long time and can be very useful, particularly for languages with a lot of irregular conjugations. If you are a beginner and won't be able to study the language and need to be able to pull a verb out of a hat without knowing much about the language (including how to make a sentence with the verb you've chosen), this book is for you. If, on the other hand, you are a beginning student of Turkish stocking up on all the books you might need to learn the language, there is one very important thing you should know. All Turkish verbs are regular. In other words, this book could be about 15 pages long - one page showing how to conjugate one verb and about 14 pages listing 200 other verbs that you can conjugate in exactly the same way. If you understand vowel harmony (an important concept you should learn in the first week or so of studying Turkish) and you have a dictionary, you really don't need this book. Go to the library and find this book. Pick any verb - copy the page and you've got the whole book.

I happily completed two years of college Turkish without ever referencing this book. The existence of this book was actually one of the running jokes of my Turkish class! Put your money toward a high quality Turkish dictionary instead.

- A Necessary Addition to Your Collection
...if you're trying to learn Turkish and are past the simple phrase books, you will find this book an enormous help!

This is a supplement, not complete by itself. Add a dictionary and a language course or two, and how happy you may be!

Now, I only wanted to know the present, past and perhaps a bit of the future -- this gave me more than I needed or understood! It would have been helpful (for us low-brows) if it offered translations by tense. It gives the translation for the verb, but you're on your own to sort out Aortist/Present, Present Progressive, Future, Definite Past, Indefinite Past, Necessity, Opative (Subjunctive), Conditional and Imperative. Then again, it gives you an opportunity to research these tenses on your own.

See notes by other reviewers - this book is evidently best for American English speakers. In addition, a reader from Scandinavia points out that there are needed definitions for some of the verbs (some do not match exactly the American translation).

- "201 Turkish Verbs": a must have for any yabanci.
If you ever take a course in Turkish, this book is a must. If you ever intend to study on your own this book will be a tremendous resource.

In your language course you will be called on to give endless example sentences, and eventually you run out of verbs, to your public disgrace. With this book in hand that unfortunate ever will never occur. Packed with "201 Turkish Verbs fully conjugated in all the tenses," this book will never leave you lacking a verb.

In your private study this book will not disappoint you. All the verbs are indexed in both Turkish and English. There are pages dedicated to the basics of grammar, and other pages addressing the integration of the negative particle as well as the interrogative particle.

While I was learning Turkish, if I ever forgot the conjugation rule, I never looked back at my notes. Instead, I opened "201 Turkish Verbs" to remind myself of the rules.

I can think of only one drawback; it has an awful courier typeface, but heck, you aren't going to be reading this book in bed at night; it's a referrence book.

I give it 5 star status.

- Looks rubbish, but is dead handy!
I'll buy anything if it'll help me crack this language! When I first opened the book I thought it was rubbish - very cheap print etc. But, but, it is indispensible! It has most of the verbs a beginner could ever need and if you're trying to break from just a few clever phrases to actually being able to have a real conversation, you will find this book of immense value. A must have.

- Good but not great
I should maybe say I bought this book cause it has 201 of the most frequently used verbs in English/Turkish. I am trying to commit to memory as many Turkish words as possible.

Problems/quibbles with the book

1. Doesn't have all the tenses! However, Turkish is very regular with it's grammatical rules so this isn't too bad.

2. American bias with some of the translations. If you've been exposed to American media this wont be a problem.

3. Could do with some more details in the translations, e.g. it has 'to weigh' for 'ölçek' and 'tartmak'. However, 'tartmak' is used for humans and animals and 'ölçek' is not. This would have been useful here.

Other than that the book is just as the title says.
