Negative and question in verbs?

How do I do that? I mean how do I make a verb negative in a question. With nouns I know (değil + personal suffix) but with verbs?
E.g. how do I say: you do not come? (only present time yet please!) or: we do not like fish?

you do not come?
gel+me+z mi+sin?(verb+negative suffix+tense questin+personal)
*gramatically we seperate question suffix from verb as you know

here it has some more details...
we do not like fish?
balık sev+me+z mi+yiz?
as you asked present tense... here you go...

Thanks Sui, but a question: why the 'z'? The 'me' after the verb root (and I assume I have to follow also here the vocal harmony?) and then the 'mi / mı / mu / mü' plus personal suffix I get. But that z?

definetely i was expecting this question and thinking how to explain...
its some case like irregular verbs as it is in english
you know the present tense suffix -(a,e,ı,i,o,ö,u,ü)r
changes into "z" in 2. and 3. single and plural and 1. plural persons
in the first single persons you even dont use "z" too
here an example
gel+me+m mi? i do not come?
gel+me+z mi+sin? you do not come?
gel+me+z mi? he/she does not come?
gel+me+z mi+yiz? we do not come?
gel+me+z mi+siniz? you do not come?
gel+me+z+ler mi? they do not come?
and yes "me" after verb changes according to vovel harmony... it is a bit complicated i guess... maybe you can find some more information in the link i gave.

Quoting SuiGeneris:
gel+me+m mi? i do not come?
gel+me+z mi+sin? you do not come?
gel+me+z mi? he/she does not come?
gel+me+z mi+yiz? we do not come?
gel+me+z mi+siniz? you do not come?
gel+me+z+ler mi? they do not come?
|
"gel-me-z mi-yim?" is also possible.

Thanks Sui, your explanation makes it more clear (though I feel a bit stupid with my questions when I see the simple answers... ) I still have 2 other ones: in your example you add a z also to 'we' but on that link you gave me they sau that 'I' and 'we' don't get one. And if I see correct the personal suffix is placed after the mi (question word) except in first singular, then after the negative with plain mi? Correct?

That's an interesting question. Google for "r-Turkic" and "z-Turkic" if you're curious.

aslan2 shown that
for the first person gel+me+z mi+yim
also possible and more gramatical
-in the link i gave that case which is "I" and "We" dont take "-z" is for ONLY negatives, in the negative question it may take as you see

Thanks for this advise Aslan, I did and I got many hits on 'common' Turkish and 'Bolgharic Turkish'. I am not gonna read that, I'm afraid it'll only confuse me. The grammar in English costs me enough to understand because the names for grammar are sometimes completely different from those in my own language.

OK. In brief, we speak z-Turkic. So "r" became "z" in some words very very long time ago in z-Turkic (hence z-Turkic).
So:
gel-me-z instead of gel-me-r
