ad yapma = making nouns
this (-lik) suffix is probably the most productive suffix of Turkish. It can come after almost anything.
it sometimes is equal to -ness -dom -ship -ity suffixes:
kim = who
kimlik = identity
nite = how (quale)
nitelik = quality
nice = how much (quanto/quante)
nicelik = quantity
gerçek = real
gerçeklik = reality
arkadaşlık = friendship
krallık = kingdom
hastalık = sickness
and it may be used after a clause sometimes:
sanki sizi bir yerden görmüşlüğüm var
=
I have a feeling that I saw you somewhere before
lit.
as if there is my seeing you somewhere before

it can also mean for I think, like yazlık, meaning for summer.
Or, bir kerelik, meaning for one time (for one use). I'm not completely sure on this, so someone back me up.

Quoting Dsmith: it can also mean for I think, like yazlık, meaning for summer.
Or, bir kerelik, meaning for one time (for one use). I'm not completely sure on this, so someone back me up. |
Right, it can mean "for" as in your examples.
Gecelik = night dress
but
Bir gecelik = for one night
Bir gecelik = a night dress
