1. -yorum
2. -miyorum
3. misin
4. yorsun
5. -miyorsun

Greetings,
These are suffixes.
1. -yorum
-(i)yor is the present continuous tense suffix. It has four forms which are -ıyor, -iyor, -uyor, -üyor.

-um is the personal suffix for first person singular. It has four forms which are -ım, -im, -um, -üm.

gelmek : to come
geliyorum: I'm coming.
gel + iyor + um : verb stem (gel) + present continuous tense suffix (-iyor) + personal suffix for first person singular (um)

2. -miyorum
This is the the same as above with the addition of negative suffix -mi.
gelmiyorum: I'm not coming

gel + mi + yor + um : verb stem (gel) + negative suffix (-mi) + present continuous tense suffix (-yor) + personal suffix for first person singular (um)

3. -misin:

-mi is the question suffix. It has four forms which are mı, mi, mu, mü.

-sin is the personal suffix for second person singular (you). It has four forms which are -sın, -sin, -sun, -sün.

Example:
yorgun: tired
Yorgun musun? Are you tired?

hasta : sick
Hasta mısın? Are you sick?

4. -yorsun
-(i)yor is the present continuous tense suffix. It has four forms which are -ıyor, -iyor, -uyor, -üyor.

-sin is the personal suffix for second person singular (you). It has four forms which are -sın, -sin, -sun, -sün.

geliyorsun: you are coming
gel + iyor + sun : verb stem (gel) + present continuous tense suffix (-iyor) + personal suffix for second person singular (sun)

5. -miyorsun
This is the negative form of number 4.

gelmiyorsun: you are not coming
gel + mi + yor + sun : verb stem (gel) + negative suffix (mi) + present continuous tense suffix (-yor) + personal suffix for second person singular (sun)


On this page you will find charts on tenses in Turkish. On the first table you will see present continuous tense. Check these for conjugations for all six persons.

when a suffix has four forms we decide which one to use according vowel harmony rules. You look at the last vowel.

I have explained vowel harmony on this thread:
http://www.turkishclass.com/forumTitle_6_2142

If the last vowel is one of these "a","ı" > use "ı"
If the last vowel is one of these "e","i" > use "i"
If the last vowel is one of these "o","u" > use "u"
If the last vowel is one of these "ö","ü" > use "ü"
