Merhaba!

I am a little confused as to what the following words could mean and I have not had any luck finding any definitions in books.

'gideli'.....I am guessing that that is perhaps a specific form of a verb? Or maybe not? It seems to pop up in songs everywhere and I can never make out exactly what it could mean.

'ok'....this pops up on a regular basis as well. I cannot tell if it is a part of a verb or if it is perhaps slang?

Also....

What is the difference between 'unutmadım' and 'unutamadım'??

Çok teşekkürler!!

Are you sure 'gideli' is not 'gidelim' meaning ''let's go''??

'ok'?? O.k.? OR 'YOK' maybe meaning 'no'

'unutmadım'- I didn't forget
'unutamadım'- I couldn't forget

Here are some examples that come to mind from Tarkan and one from Şeniz Ünal....

Sen gideli buralardan...
Sen gideli bu aşktan...
Sen gideli bu şehirden...
Gitti gideli...
Çok seviyorum hem de çok
Tam kalbime geldi ok...
Ayrılık ateşinden bir ok

Gideli = since ... gone

Sen gittin gideli. Since you've been gone.
Ben bu şehirden terk edeli. Since I left this site.
Gitti gideli hemen hemen 5 sene oldu. It has been nearly 5 years since he left.

Have you heard "çok teşekkür" in songs too?

unutmak is the verb to forget - does that help one question?
