Plz can you translate the following into English.  I am a bit confused regarding the correct translation of 3rd Person Imperative!

(1)  ´Kalemi vermesin, kitabi versinler´

(2)  ´Kalemi verilmesin, kitabi verilsinler´

Thank you.  These have been copied ´verbatim´ from a text book.

Thanks.

 Number 2 is a little confusing unless you really think carefully about the endings!

kitabý vermek: to give the book. 

Vermek is active, and the thing that is being given takes -ý  ending.

verilmek

verilmek is passive. The thing that is being given takes NO ending.

e.g. kitap verildi: the book was given.

So, no 2 is either a mistake (unlikely as you copied it from a textbook)

or the ending must refer to something else. Kitabý must mean his/her book.

So we can then say:

´Kalemi verilmesin, kitabi verilsinler´ means

"Let him not give me his pen, let them give me his book"

or, in more usual English

"Don´t let him give me his pen, have them give me his book"

 Thank you a million Uzun-Hava.

Marionin you have excelled yourself once again.  I too was very suspicious of No. (2) ... I think it is a misprint.  Just because it is from a ´Book´ .... does not make it right.  Uzun_hava has also tried to make sense out of it ... Thank you both.

Even No (1) is not a very good example ... why singular for pencil and plural for books??  It might be grammatically correct but does not appeal to common sense!!
