Hi, I have never tried to put a sentence together.... and would like to try. For instance if I wished to say TODAY I AM GOING TO WORK.... would I say.... Gidiyorum bugÃ¼n Ã§alişmak ... Please correct me I know its terribly wrong. Oh I hate it when everyone knows what they are doing, It seems Im the only one who is poopoo at this.

So where in this sentence is the word WORK mentioned? Because when I look at that I cannot see the word meaning work.... ? why am I so confused over this? I can only see..... BugÃ¼n - today and gigiyorum - I am going. Please please pleeeeeease help me understand someone

Ã§alışmak is the verb "to (do some) work".
iş is the place where you work.

iş-e is the place + dative suffix meaning "to (the place of) work"
