Those nasty verbs... They are even able to turn into nouns or adjectives. My Turkish teacher said that there´s no specific rule, so I attempt to make a list.
Please help me out. 
1. As far as I know you usually add -ma, -me to the base of the verb such as:
- içme alışkanlığı
- çalışma masayı
- konuşma kursu
2. Other times you add -uş, -üş, -ış, -iş (kalıp sözler):
- sürüş hızlı
- varış saatı
- giriş ve çikiş kapı
- gidiş dünüş bileti
Please write down a few more examples to complete the orange group.
PS: I will update this post with thank you notes, whenever I have new terms to add. So we can keep track
Thank you very much!
Hello friend,
-ma and -me are generally used for negative structure for verbs.
yapma: don´t do
gitme: don´t go.
etc...
But we also use -me and -ma for a different structure. We create "noun-verbs" by this structures:
içme alışkanlığı: drinking habit.
kullanma kılavuzu: user guide (guide of usage)
çalışma masası: studying table (table for study)
In Turkish, we don´t have a specific rule to turn verbs into nouns.
Let´s see which suffixes are used for this structure:
1) -ış/-iş/-uş/-üş:
çıkış kapısı: exit door
giriş kapısı: entrence door
kalkış : departure
2) -um/-im/-ım/-üm
açık oturum : open meeting. (that comes from "otur" verb, where people sit in chairs and discuss about things)
katılım : attendance (coming from attend; "katıl")
sunum: presentation (coming from present; "sun")
iletim : transfer (coming from transfer; "ilet")
geri bildirim : feedback (coming from inform; "bildir")
There are tens of suffix types that you can use for this structure. This structure doesn´t meet a specific rule as I said; but because of each of them a noun by their own, instead of memorizing these suffixes and confusing your mind, you can look and find them at dictonaries.
