I have had the word "üzülmeni" in a text from a friend and I don't understand the suffix ending here. Could someone split the ending down for me, I think the verb is:
üzülmek : to be upset by
is the ending "meni" or "eni"! I get this ending in quite a few sentences and I was wondering if it was a combination of two suffix endings?? Help!

üzül (the base) + me (verbal noun ending) + n (buffer letter) + i (case ending)
For more explanation, search for "verbal nouns" on TC

Thanks Qdemir. Is this one of those cases where you make a noun or adjective from a verb, by adding the "i" to a verb stem?
What does "üzülmeni" actually mean?
I think I get what you mean but I haven't got that far in my grammar book yet! Still a beginner but trying!

Quoting qdemir: üzül (the base) + me (verbal noun ending) + n (buffer letter) + i (case ending)

I am confused. I admit this, but I thought "y" was the buffer letter for verb+ma+y+ suffix. examples as "sevmayi" etc.
In a earlier post olmani was tranlated as "your becoming"+suffix. I think

longinotti1 :
for example, "i dont want you to get upset" = "üzülmeni istemiyorum"
in this sentence , if it were "üzülmeyi", it would mean like " i dont want to get upset".
"n" adds meaning "you" to the sentence.
