So can gerunds only be used with verbs?

Quoting mltm: Türkiye'ye gitmemize 6 gün var/kaldı. |
Why gitmemize?
I am guessing:
git-me-m-iz-e
verb stem + verbal noun + buffer + 1st person plural + dative state suffix
But I have never heard of m as a buffer consonant :-S

Doesn't çok daha fazla translate as "too much more"
I wanted to say "alot more".
Is repetition of the verb (here öğrenmek) acceptable?
Your sentence seems to translate as:
While I am in Turkia I want to learn too much more Turkish and I think that I will learn
In English, having "learn" in there twice makes a very poor sentence so I wanted to change the final "learn" to "do" - I assume this cannot be done in the same way in Turkish!

It must have a difference as you say but I don't see any difference and in turkish it is "çok daha fazla" or "daha fazla", there's no way to say it in another way.

In turkish it sounds perfect to repeat it. There's another way for not repeating by saying: "sanırım bunu yapacağım", but it doesn't seem as good as the other. So, don't worry to repeat it.

Oh thank you.....
That makes life much eaiser - I spend much of time trying to find new verbs to avoid repetition. But if repetition is acceptable then I can include repetition without having to find more verbs to avoid repetition
I hope I don't end up repeating myself though!!!
BTW - say that again

I think, they are always like packages...
Action: "we go"
gitmek; to go
gitme: here, it is as the noun from the verb "to go"
gitme+miz: "our going", the action "we go"
gitme+m: "my going", the action "i go"
like in lazım:
gitmem lazım: i need to go(the action "i go" is necessary for me)
your action: we go to Turkey
you should say: Türkiye'ye gitmemiz (our going to Turkey; the action "we go to Turkey")
so;
There are six days that we go to Turkey
Türkiye'ye gitmemize altı gün var
our days are against the action; so we add -e suffix after our action
also this is like in imperatives of relative clauses
Eve gitmemi söyledi
action: eve gitmem "my going to home"(the action "i go to home")
he told me to go to home
also another example;
sizin gitmeniz daha iyi olacak
the action: sizin gitmeniz (your going; the action "you go")
meaning: it will be better that you go
