Hi!
When you look at an English-Turkish dictionary you see infinitive form of verb, Alltohuman!
I've checked it in my English-Turkish Oxford Dictionary: "GO=GİTMEK" is written.

Oh, sorry then! I supposed you were referring to the forms of english verbs. On the turkish ones you are right.

Quoting juliacernat:

first, you cannot find in the dictionary such forms of the verbs; tenses and verbal forms are not there, you just have to learn the mechanism of their forming

the negative imperative

"almak"- ALMA for the 2nd person singular and ALMAYIN or ALMAYINIZ for the 2nd person plural

"gitmek"- GITME for the 2nd person singular and GITMEYIN or GITMEYINIZ for the 2nd person plural

ben gitmeyeyim
sen gitme
o gitsin
biz gitmeyelim
siz gitmeyin/ gitmeyiniz
onlar gitmesinler


Juliacarnat, I am afraid you made a wrong conjugation above. Your mistake was mixing two forms (Optative form and Imperative form). I will conjugate the verb (git-) again so that you can see the difference.

1. OPTATIVE FORM

POSITIVE-NEGATIVE
gideyim-gitmeyeyim
gidesin-gitmeyesin (not used in modern Turkish)
gide-gitmeye (not used in modern Turkish)
gidelim-gitmeyelim
gidesiniz-gitmeyesiniz (not used in modern Turkish)
gideler-gitmeyeler (not used in modern Turkish)

2. IMPERATIVE FORM

POSITIVE-NEGATIVE
(no form for 1 person singular)
git-gitme
gitsin-gitmesin
(no form for 1 person plural)
gidin(iz)-gitmeyin(iz)
gitsin(ler)-gitmesin(ler)

I have learnt them like this:
Emir kipi:
positive negative
alayim almayayim
al alma
alsin almasin
alalim almayalim
alin/aliniz almayin/almayiniz
alsinlar almasinlar

Istek kipi:
positive negative
sorayim sormayayim
sorasin sormayasin
sorsun sormasin
soralim sormayalim
sorasiniz sormayasiniz
sorsunlar sormasinlar

Dear juliacarnat,
I am sorry to say that but your information about Imperative and Optative forms are wrong. I wrote the true information in my previous post. If you can check the 'Learn Turkish' page (for Imperative form) in our website, you will see correct conjugation.
