- Süregelmek, Bakakalmak, gidedurmak.

- Bakıp durmak, donup kalmak

There are verbs like these that are a combination of 2 verbs, usually the last verb is either "kal, gel, dur, git" and they come in 2 forms. now I know some of them but if anyone can explain them so I would understand what they mean without memorizing them I´d be very thankful..

all I know is that these verbs explain the continuity of something happening or being done..

V + -a/-e is a gerundive construction and acts like an adverb to the main verb.

 

süregelmek < sür-e gelmek = to come (or reach to current moment) by cotinuing

bakakalmak < bak-a kalmak = (for one) to stay (where he is) by looking (at something for a long time) (usually as a result of some surprise)

 

gidedurmak < gid-e durmak = to stay by going, to be in state of going (in progress)

The constructions you wrote are on the path of grammaticalization and their meaning is predictable. But you have certainly noticed Turkish is a language rich with idioms, so we have many constructions of the type V1 + V2 to learn. By heart, there is no other way.

Correct...GİDEYAZMAK is another verb of similar form and does not imply an action in progress.

GİDEYAZMAK (gidecek gibi olmak) = just about to go

I would not recommend learners to make long lists of such verbs to memorize. Just learn them as they come up !
