I learned a bit more about those kind of exceptions in class tonight. There are exceptions amongst verbs with more than one syllable. Seems that combinations with etmek should be conjugated like the verb etmek.
Hence, the same goes for seyretmek, kaybetmek..

But then again, the verb öğretmek for example is not an exception.. :-S

yeh, it has been kindly explained to me now

some verbs have combinations with etmek and olmak. In these cases, they are treated as 2 words and only the etmek and olmak parts are conjugated.

Maybe öğretmek not a combined verb ?
Not related to etmek,or is it ?:-S

Ok,i have a question here,
İn Olumsuz,the suffix generally is 'ma,me'

Why it become 'mAz' with Geniş zaman,and why it is still 'mA' with ben and biz ?

i think it is for negation of geniş zaman...?

it is "-maz" with 2nd and 3rd person singluar and plural.

it is just "-ma" for 1st person singular and plural.

however, for 1st person singular and plural, if you use it in question, it becomes "-maz mıyım/mıyız".

is this what you mean canli?

Yes gezbelle,
But i don't understand why it became 'maz' with the others not 'mA' as usual,then
İ didn't know it turn to 'maz' in question form,i thought my book missed it,and its still 'mA' with bin and biz.
Why in ALLAH name the 'mA' with 'bin and biz' changed again to 'mAz' then ? :-S

ok...from what i can understand...

the geniş zaman has a different negation marker, -mez, for 2nd and 3rd persons singular and plural.

gel-mez- --> gelmez mi? doesn't he come?
gel-mez-sin --> gelmez misin? don't you come?
gel-mez-siniz --> gelmez misiniz? don't you come?
gel-mez-ler --> gelmezler mi? don't they come?

in negative questions, for the 1st person singular and plural forms, the negation marker -mez is used.

however, in regular negations (not question format), the marker is not -mez, but it is -me.

gel-me-m --> gelmez miyim?
gel-me-yiz --> gelmez miyiz?
oku-ma-m --> okumaz mıyım?
oku-ma-yız --> okumaz mıyız?

haftaya sana uğramam - i won't visit you next week
haftaya sana uğramaz mıyım? - won't i visit you next week?

türkçede böyle söylemeyiz - we don't say it like that in turkish
türkçede böyle söylemez miyiz? - don't we say it like that in turkish?

i don't know why they change...maybe a native turkish speaker can help us??

Ok,i found this örnek in my book too .

Anne şuna söyle,ben hiç yemek yapmaz mıyım? (yapMAm mı?)

Exactly like this,then it can be both 'mAz',and 'mA' ? :-S

Then it can be Yapmayız mı ,too ? :-S

No, Canli; the right question is "biz yapmaz mıyız?
".
When you have a doubt about a conjugation, you can use winmekmak: I love it!
