I won't tell joe that you sent me a message, don't worry. Yes, what do you want? I added your Hotmail address to my Messenger. You can say it here as well. I am curious, what do you need me for?

yep you are right alyaa.

merak etme: dont worry
merak ettim: I was wondering/I`m curious


A more detailed explanation:

`merak etmek` (to be curious) is the infinitive and when we drop the infinite suffixes we will find that
`merak et` (be curious) is the imperative and when we add now the nagative suffix
`merak etme` (dont be curious, dont worry) will be the negative of imperative

On the other hand after dropping the infinitive suffix if we add `ti` we will get
`merak etti` (he was curious,he is curious) past tense for third singular person and after adding the personal suffix it becomes
`merak ettim` (I was curious, I`m curious) past tense first singular person
suffixes used above are:
-mek,-mak : the infinitive suffixes
-me,-ma: the negative suffixes
-dı, -di, -du, -dü, -tı, -ti, -tu, -tü :somple past tense suffixes
-m : personal suffix for first singular person (me)

Also you should know that for some mental expressions like the above past tense might be used but the meaning will be present.
Example

acık-mak: infinitive
acıkmak: to get hungry
acık-tı-m : I`m hungry (not I was though past tense is used)

Hello alyaa,
`okellere girmeyelim`
there is something wrong with this sentence. The first
word doesnt exist. The second word mean `let not go in`. I think it might me `otellere`. In this case the translation will be `lets not go to the hotels`.

For your secong question you can the dictionary:

correction:
"The second word mean `let not go in`"
should be:
"The second word means `lets not go in`"
