NEGATIVE FORM:

 

When we want to make a sentence negative in imperative you should follow these steps: 

 

1. First you should remove infinitive. (-mek / -mak)

                 * Gitmek (Go) -> Git 
2. Secondly, you should add a privative. (-ma / -me) 

                 *Git + me 

 

That´s all. This negative form is for "you" subject. If you want to transform it for other subjects, you should add appendix from the table above. 

 

*Git + me -> Gitme (You)    Sen gitme!
*Git + me + sin -> Gitmesin (He-She-It)  O gitmesin!

 

ATTENTION!!

 If your imperative sentence is negative,  your appendixes have to be; 

 

For "He-She-It" -> -sın / -sin 
For "You (Plural)" -> -ın / -in
For "They" -> -sınlar / sinler 

 

So I mean; 

(+) Görmek -> Gör + sün -> Görsün (He-She-It)  O Görsün!
(-) Görmek -> Gör + me + sün    x It is wrong !!!

(-) Görmek -> Gör + me + sin -> Görmesin    O görmesin!    It is ture! 

You can use; 
 

For "He-She-It" -> -sın / -sin 
For "You (Plural)" -> -ın / -in
For "They" -> -sınlar / sinler    only! 

 

*(+) Oturmak (To sit) -> Otur -> Oturun -> (You / plural) 

*(-) Oturmak -> Otur -> Oturma -> Oturma + sın (You - plural) 

You should use privative regularly.

"-ma" is used if there is "a - ı - o - u" in last slyllable. 
"-me" is used if there is "e - i - ö - ü" in last slyllable.

 

* Uyumak (To sleep) -> Uyu + ma 

You should add "-ma" because there is "u" in last slyllable. 

 

*(+) Sormak (To ask) -> Sor / Sorsun / Sorsunlar
(-) Sormak -> Sorma / Sormasın / Sormasınlar

 

*(+) Yazmak (To write) -> Yaz / Yazsın / Yazsınlar
(-) Yazmak -> Yazma / Yazmasın / Yazmasınlar
