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`"

hi alyaa,
because in `okul` the last vowel u is a hard sounding vowel (a,ı,o,u) it takes the other plural suffix -lar. So it becomes, `okullara girmeyelim`. I would say this sentence sounds very strange. There shouldnt be plural at all as you noticed. Also `gitmeyelim` would be much more meaningful instead `girmeyelim`.

okula gitmeyelim > let`s not go to school
okullara girmeyelim > please dont go inside the school buildings

daha da sıcak olacak > it will be even hotter

smillarly:
güzel > beautiful
daha güzel > more beautiful
en güzel > most beautiful

and:
daha da güzel > even more beautiful

1. git-meli-yim > I have to go
2. git-me-y-elim > let`s dont go
these two above are completely different. Lets have a closer look:

1. git-meli-yim > I have to go
This is the Necessitative Mood of a very.
suffixes are :
-meli
-malı
more examples:
yürümelisin > you have to walk
sigara iç-me-meli-sin > you must not smoke


2. git-me-y-elim > let`s dont go
This is the Subjunctive http://www.turkishlanguage.co.uk/subjmood.htm
There is also the nagative suffix -me,-ma included as you see.
examples:
gid-elim (git-elim t>d) > let`s go
konuş-alım > let's talk

This is the Necessitative Mood of a verb.
