I typed in ´gelmek´ on the dictionary and it said it means ´to come´...and then typed in ´gelme´ and it just said the same as gelmek, i thought it was meant to mean don´t come ? :S

could anyone explain the -mek/-mak/-me/-ma suffixes a bit more please?

thankyou

I think this thread - http://www.turkishclass.com/forumTitle_1729 - will probably help you.

yours must be relatively simple dictionary, giving basics only,

 

gelme = do not come

gelme = the act of coming

 

are both correct.

Im still a bit confused, because if i was to have gelme in a sentence, how would the other person know what meaning of the word i meant ?

GELme = don´t come (the stress is on the first syllable)

 

gelME= coming (gerund)
