A few questions

2 more questions.
1. Sen gelmez oldun is a song. I saw the line translated somewhere as: you didn´t come. Confused with gelmez since this is he/she doesn´t come rather than you? Is this more like: You are the one who never came?
You didn´t come is wrong translation.
it´s hard to explain, but i will give you some examples.
Bunu yapıyor olmaktan zevk alıyorum
Arkadaşlarımla her gün bir yere gider oldum (you didn´t do it before, but now you do it every day)
Seni sevmez oldum (i don´t love you anymore)
Buraya gelmez oldular (they don´t come anymore)
Artık gelmiyorlar (they don´t come anymore)
2. I think I heard büyükmüş said. What does that mean if anything? I thought it was said to mean "he has grown" but I may not have heard the word exactly.
Example:
i didn´t saw my child for 10 years because i was in prison, now i came out of prison and i saw my child after 10 years, and i say to his mother: büyükmüş

Possible context ---> when you are suprised with the biggness of something you may say it like that by using -miş.
For instance, when you view a house to buy, you go into the house and you are amazed with the size of the house. You can say --->
" ev büyükmüş ! "
By saying this, you are actually saying that "you are suprised/amazed with the size of the house ".

Thankyou Kedi Nero and Tunci.
Glad I can come her to get the more accurate translation.
For büyükmüş, then I think I did hear it correctly and it was more like "wow, he has grown!" i.e. amazement.
So müş can be used for: had, supposedly and amazment. Zormuş!

You understand it wrong.
Beyaz is name of color, so you cant say beyaz sarayı.
Beyaz saray is correct.
you wont say yeşil arabası, you say yeşil araba.
its same 
1.) Deniz´in suyu
2.) Deniz suyu
They are both correct, but here Deniz have 2 meanings.
in first Deniz is name, but in second deniz mean water.
Musluk suyu

Deniz suyu

1.) Barak Obama evi
2.) Barak Obama´nın evi
they are both correct, but there is difference between them.
Bingöl is surname, and if you understand what is difference between Bingöl ailesi and Bingöl´ün ailesi than you will understand difference between Barak Obama evi and Barak Obama´nın evi 
i am not sure if its possible to explain in english, but you will understand it with time

Deniz is a noun. Beyaz is an adjective.
Noun phrases take possesive whereas adjective compounds never take possesive.
Beyaz ev ---> White house
Here, beyaz functions as an adjective, [qualifying, describing the house in terms of its colour]
However, if there was someone called "Beyaz " as a name , then it would have taken a possesive marker.
Beyaz´ın evi ---> The house of Beyaz.

Ah! thanks. It´s for noun + noun.
I was confused because Turkish Restaurant also uses this. Which literally in English I think is Adjective + noun.

I came across a few more I wasn´t sure about.
1. Şey. I´m starting to hear this one a lot but to start a sentence rather that meaning ´thing´. Almost like ´Hey, ...´ ´Say, ...´.
2. What does Selam şoyle mean?

well, hey you, .....etc
2. What does Selam söyle mean?
2. What does Selam söyle mean? ---> It means " Say hi to ........"

2. What does Selam şoyle mean?
1.
sana şey diyecektim
Şeye gidelim mi
Sana şey verecektim
Şey gördüm...adı neydi? Mustafa mıydı ne
Şey...bugün arkadaşını gördüm
Şey... ben şey diyecektim. Ne diyecektin?
not sure how to translate it to english, but i hope some examples are enough 
2. i guess you know what selam mean. Şoyle is wrong, it should be söyle.
söylemek mean to say, selam söyle mean say selam.
Annene selam söyle = say selam to your mother
Tunci benden daha hızlıymış

I was wondering about kızım and ortak.
Kızım seems to be a popular way to address a friend? Would this mean my girl? I think it´s mainly between girls or women that are friends. But could a guy say it to a girl, in a friendly way? Could a guy say it to an elder in a friendly or joking way or not a good idea?
Same questions but with ortak, I think means partner but it a business sense or could this also be said between friends like - howdy partner - merhaba ortak. Just wondering?
Thanks everyone, I know I just thought this was for a few questions.
