Ödev yapmam lazım
Is this a proper way of saying 'I have to do my homework' ?
or would that be
Ödev yapmalım
Or are they both completely wrong

Quoting SuiGeneris: I have to do my homework
Ödevimi yapmalıyım
or
Ödevimi yapmam lazım |
I totally understand the necessative tense in the first example - but I am struggling with the verb in the second example
Is it:
yap-ma-m = verb stem + verbal noun suffix + first person possessive suffix?

Evet doğru anlamışsın bod.
(Benim) ödevimi yapmam lazım.
(Senin) ödevini yapman lazım.
(Onun) ödevini yapması lazım.
(Bizim) ödevimizi yapmamız lazım.
(Sizin) ödevinizi yapmanız lazım.
(Onların) ödevlerini yapmaları lazım.
Possessive Suffixes
after a consonant
my – benim -ım -im -um -üm
your – senin -ın -in -un -ün

our – bizim -ımız -imiz -umuz -ümüz

their – onların -ları -leri -ları -leri

your – senin -n
his/her/its – onun -sı -si –su -sü

Yes - I suppose the part I am failing to understand is how to use "lazım" and therefore why the verb takes the verbal noun suffix in this case :-S

lazım:
1. is necessary
2. is needed
Bira almak lazım.
literally: There is a need to buy (some) beer.
Bira almam lazım.
I need to buy some beer.
-ma is also called the short infinitive.

Yes, but i would read it this way to understand:
Quoting erdinc:
Bira almam lazım.
I need to buy some beer.
-ma is also called the short infinitive. |
Bira almam lazım = 'my buying' (of) beer is necessary. A kind of possesive-verb.
