Please can someone explain to me if there is any essential difference between:

 

Gelirsem, gelirsen, gelirse, gelirsek, gelirseniz, gelirseler

 

&

 

Gelsem, gelsen, gelse, gelsek, gelseniz, gelseler                    ?????

 

--------------------------------------------------------------

 

If I say:  ´Vaktinde gelirse, sinemaya gidiriz´     OR     ´Vaktinde gelse ... etc´

 

Do they mean the same?

 

Thanks.

We recently had a thread about it.

 

Check out this link, it might clarify things a bit: http://www.turkishclass.com/forumTitle_36914

 if there is a time tense - present, past, future, and then -se suffix is added, that makes it a conditional.. if -se suffix is added to the verb root, it makes a wish:

 

For example:

Eðer zamanýnda gelirse, sinemaya gidebiliriz. - If he comes on time, we can go to the cinema.

Zamanýnda gelse de sinemaya gitsek - I wish he would come on time, so that we can go to the cinema.
