The distribution of present tense suffixes is complicated, with the former (also with vowel harmony) is used with verb stems ending in consonants, and the latter is used with verb stem ending in vowels (with the last vowel being deleted, {{wikt-lang|tt|эшләү}} – эшл'''и''', compare [[Turkish language|Turkish]] ''işlemek'' – continuous ''işl'''iyor'''''). The distribution of indefinite future tense is more complicated in consonant-ending stems, it is resolved by -арга/-ырга infinitives (язарга – яз'''ар'''). However, because some have verb citation forms in verbal noun (-у), this rule becomes somewhat unpredictable.

Tenses are negated with -ма, however in the indefinite future tense and the verbal participle they become -мас and -мыйча instead, respectively. Alongside vowel-ending stems, the suffix also becomes -мый when negates the present tense. To form interrogatives, the suffix -мы is used.

Definite past and conditional tenses use type II personal inflections instead. When in the case of present tense, short ending (-м) is used. After vowels, the first person imperative forms deletes the last vowel, similar to the present tense does ({{wikt-lang|tt|эшләү}} – эшл'''им'''). Like plurals of nouns, the suffix -лар change depending the preceding consonants (-алар, but -ганнар).

==== Anomalous verbs ====
Some verbs, however, fall into this category. Dozens of them have irregular stems with a final mid vowel, but obscured on the infinitive ({{wikt-lang|tt|уку}} – ук'''ы''', ук'''ый''', {{wikt-lang|tt|төзү}} – төз'''е''', төз'''и'''). The verbs кору "to build", тану "to disclaim", ташу "to spill" have contrastive meanings with verbs with their final vowelled counterparts, meaning "to dry", "to know", "to carry".

The verb {{wikt-lang|tt|дию}} "to say" is significantly more irregular than any other verbs: its 2nd person singular imperative is диген, while its expected regular form is repurposed as the present tense forms (дим, диң, ди...).<ref name="Burbiel" />
