Gel de  Form

 

When we use "gel de " before a verb that is in  negative imperative form, we mean to say  "it is so hard to stop myself doing something  because of  ........ "

      " I desperately feel  to do it because of  it "

 

Gel de + Verb stem + mA

 

Geçen ayın kirasını ödememiş. Gel de kızma ! -->

I heard that  he didn´t pay last month´s rent . It´s so hard for me to not to be  mad at him because of what he has done.

 

----------------------------------------------------

 

Yine nefret ettiğim  şeyi  yapmış.  Gel  de delirme.


Once again he/she  done the same thing that I hate . Its so  hard for me  not  to go mad about what he/she  has done.

 

----------------------------------------------------

 

Hayatımda her şey kötü gidiyor. Gel de içme şimdi. 


Everything  in my life going bad. It´s so hard  not to drink now because of those bad things in my life. [since I am very sad]

[ I desperately feel  to drink because of those things,===> Its so hard to  resist drinking, since I am very sad ]
