Hi, I am just practising some turkish sentences and wondered how you would say this. For example, how would you say "I want to go out with you tonight".

Would I use a form of gitmek, or is there a specific thing to say "to go out"??

I am sure this is probably a very stupid question but I have really confused myself and will be stuck on this all night if I don't ask! !

I always thought that to go out in Turkish was 'dışarı çıkmak' , but if I translate:

Bu gece seninle dışarı çıkmak istiyorum (I want to go out with you tonight), I feel like it doesn't sound well.

So now I wonder too.. is there a special verb for going out at night? (like for a drink, to a club..)

No, delikızın yours is a good one to say it in turkish.

"Bu gece seninle dışarı çıkmak istiyorum." really means I want to go out with you tonight.

You can shorten it as well, "Bu gece seninle çıkmak istiyorum" but still I'd prefer the first.

I think, if you want to use "to go out" as a means of flirting, as mltm says "bu gece seninle çıkmak istiyorum" but if you have a specific plan and place to go, you should use "gitmek" for example; "bu akşam seninle yemeğe gitmek (çıkmak) istiyorum"
