It can mean our talk, our speech, our discussion..

It could also be used like "konuşmamız lazım": we need to speak / talk..

It could be "coming, arrival", as a noun.
It could also be the imperative of gelmek ==> "gel! = come!" , so "gelme!" means "don't come!"

Maybe you might want to try doubleclicking on words in this site, then the magical dictionary pops up

can "gelme" be used as a phrase like "yes you are coming, you should come", something like that?

Not that I know of. Then it should rather be something like "gelmelisin", "you have to come", I think..

'konuşmamız' is a part of a clause such as "konuşmamız lazım" (we need to talk), "konuşmamız gerekiyor" (we need to talk) etc. It is difficult to translate because of the suffixes but I would say it means "that we talk".

It is a version of konuşmak (to talk).

thx for the site it's not working right now but i'll check later...

and btw, is there anything about suffixes on the internet where i can have a look and have an impression of? i feel like using Rosetta Stone is not enouogh, it doesn't explain anything concerning grammar, especially suffixes, which is confusing me most times when i'm learning the language...

Greetings EmmaUfuk,

There are many good sources on the internet. Have a look on them and if you don't understand something come back and ask here.

We might be not the best source of information but we are the best place to get online help on Turkish grammar. In fact we are the most website on this field.

Why don't you start by checking my big list of online sources:
http://www.turkishclass.com/forumTitle_6_6212

On #13 and #14 there are complete lists of all suffixes.

On #21 there is the free program winmekmak that can conjugate the verb that you type or it can show you the infinitive of a verb that is already conjugated.

If you can be more specific on a topic such as suffixes for nouns or suffixes for verbs then I could give you links to a specific topic.
