This is not an imperative.. if it was, then it would have been dur zaman, dur...:  This is

DILEK – SART KIPI

We add –se ,-sa at the end of the verb root or the body. It sometimes gives a condition, while sometimes just a wish.

We also use it for IF Clauses when it is combined with a tense. We can either put "Eger" in the start of the statement, or omit it completely, as the if meaning already exists in the suffix. This can also be used separately as isem, isen, ise, isek, iseniz, iseler… (except the wish statement form)

Life is not a game (to play)...

Let him hear, and come back, you say

Life is not a game (to play)...

Yes i like Merih´s explanations as well

O bilir

 thanks Anka.. I am sleepless, and sometimes this site becomes addictive.. I can´t let it go, and have a nap... anyway, I was looking at the word, and it didn´t sound like order - though it is the order form..

EMIR KIPI

We use this form when we order someone to do something.

FOR EXAMPLE:

YAP+MAK / TO DO

YAP YOU

YAP+SIN HE, SHE, IT

YAP+IN(IZ) YOU

YAP+SINLAR THEY

GIT+MEK / TO GO

GIT YOU

GIT+SIN HE, SHE, IT

GID+INIZ YOU

GIT+SINLER THEY

Sometimes the future tense suffix – acak, - ecek  could acquire the meaning of order..

 *Bu kitabi okuyacaksin (oku)

*Hemen yanima geleceksin.(gel)

And sometimes, though imperative form is used, the order meaning will be lost, and it will acquire wish, request meaning. 

*Saglik olsun     *Allah kazadan korusun     *Kusurumuzu hosgörün     

*Sen ona bakma

 AWWW SO SWEET YOU ADDED THIS MERIH !
