Let's look at the structure of the sentence:
benim gitmem lazım"
Verb is lazım olmak
we may think it in english: "to be necessary"
Subject is benim gitmem or you may write it without "benim". Only gitmem
So: what is necessary? (what have to be done?)
Answer is: "(benim) gitmem"
means: "my going" or "my going action"
Here "gitme" is the action. and my action is "i am going"
now we must say it as a subject group: "benim gitmem". so it is "my going"
and what is necessary? it is my going: "benim gitmem"
and let's look at the sentence form:
Subject + Object + Verb
what is our subject?
benim gitmem
and what is the verb?
lazım
As you see, all subjects are the third person: "it"
not "I" or "you" like in English sentence: "I have to go"
so verb must be suitable as the third person: "it"
lazım
who or what is necessary? Kim ya da ne lazım?
my going. benin gitmem
so, full sentence:
benim gitmem lazım : my going is necessary (or formal version in English: "I have to go")
and you should change it for the other pronouns:
senin gitmen: your going
onun gitmesi: his/her going
bizim gitmemiz: our going
sizin gitmeniz: your going
onların gitmesi (or onların gitmeleri): their going (or their goings)
I hope it is helpful!
