If you want meaning of the basic ones, maybe you can see

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkish_grammar
http://www.practicalturkish.com/difficulties-of-turkish--den-suffix.html
http://www.turkeytravelplanner.com/details/LanguageGuide/TurkishGrammar.html
I found these sites. Maybe an advanced student or a native speaker, can help us.

It does have the meanings - and even some examples.
But do be aware that it is not a complete list of suffixes!

I read somewhere that Turkish has about 400 of suffixes. Turkish is exclusively suffixing language. I cannot locate any site with complete listing. But a good grammar book should list all of them.
I can give some info here.
There are two classes:
Inflection
Derivation
Those used for inflexion modifies a word in various way. The meaning of the word inflected doesn't change:
ev -- house
ev-e -- to the house (-e is dative case suffix)
Those used for derivation creates new words with new meaning related to the word derived from.
ev -- house
ev-len-mek -- to get married
Derivational suffixes can further be classified according to the type of word a suffix is attached and to the type of the derived word.
The verb and the noun are two distinct types. So we have 4 possibility
1- N -> N (Noun to noun)
ev -- house
ev-li -- wed (-li suffix)
2- N -> V (Noun to verb)
ev -- house
ev-len-mek -- to get married (-len- suffix)
3- V -> N (Verb to noun)
ev-len-me -- wedding (-me suffix)
4- V -> V (Verb to verb)
ev-len-dir-mek (causative of evlenmek, -dir- suffix)
So according to this classification, some similar suffixes are actually different suffixes.
For example:
kaz-mak -- to dig
kaz-ı -- excavation (V->N)
kaz-ı-mak -- to scrape (V->V)
döv-mek -- to beat
döv-üş -- fight (V->N)
döv-üş-mek -- to beat one another (V->V)

Be careful with this link :
www.dnathan.com/language/turkish/tsd/index.htm
I was told by a native turkish speaker that some of the suffixes and their explanation of usage are not correct (and he checked the page himself)
But generally speaking, it's very useful.
Dilara.
