It is actually optativ mood suffix.  - a [e ] which comes on the verb stems and indicates a desire or wish.



Verb stem + e + personal suffix

Git  + e + y + im  [ Gideyim ] This is modern use.

Git + e + sin   [ Gidesin ] This is used more in older literature.

Git +  e----> [ Gide ]  In colloquial and modern use it is replaced with its imperative counterpart ´´ Gitsin ´´

Git + elim  ---> [ Gidelim ] This is modern use.


Git + esiniz ---> [ Gidesiniz ] This is used more in older literature.


Git + eler --> [ Gideler]  In colloquial and modern use it is replaced with its imperative counterpart ´ Gitsinler ´


Examples  :

inmek - to get off


Şoför bey, müsait bir yerde ineyim --> Driver, I want to get off  in a suitable place.

------------------------------
Bugün parka gidelim. ---> Let´s go to the park today.

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

Bunu böyle bilesiniz ---> I want you to know this like this.


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

This optative form may also appears in some idomatic expressions, such as :



Yolunuz  açık  ola !-- > Lit.  ´´ May your road be open and free ! ´´ [ Have a good journey ]

Uğurlar  ola ! ---> Have a nice trip ! [ I wish you have a nice trip ]

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

* In your example, the verb ´´ yap ´´´ 


Bu işi yapasın diye sana maaş veriyorum !  ---> I pay you [salary]  to do this job. [ I want you to do this job , thats why I pay you ]

Şoför bey, müsait bir yerde inmek istiyorum, would also mean the same translation.

So is it possible to translate eyim/ayım into english?

 

Yardımınız için teşekkürler.

In collaquial speech, we don´t normally say " inmek istiyorum ", we say it in several ways as follows ;

müsait bir yerde ineyim

müsait bir yerde inebilir miyim ?

uygun bir yerde inebilir miyim ?

inecek var

[name of the place ]  inecek var

or just ---> müsait bir yerde

 

but I haven´t heard anyone said " inmek istiyorum ".  When we translate turkish into english its better not to translate literally as it may not sound natural.

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

Translating -eyim , -ayım, as in the example above, ın that particular case, the person requests the driver to stop and let him out.

In English , you wouldn´t say " Let me get off " to driver. You may say " Would you stop anywhere here please ? " or  just  " here please " I think.

So, possible translations would be like these above.

 

However,  you can translate it as :

1.  Mostly  as "Let me ..........."

- Ali´ye telefon edeyim. ---> Let me call Ali.

 

2. It may express the  past willing  " wanted to " , when to use with "dedim "

   - Seni göreyim dedim.  ---> I wanted to see you.

 

    - Bir kahve içeyim dedim. O yüzden iş çıkışı bir kafeye gittim.

     I wanted to drink a coffee, so I went to a cafe after work.
