Quoting shannonq: Delimanyak...uh-oh! I think you're getting into territory that we haven't covered in class yet. You wrote "gitmek-gitmemek" and I don't know what you mean. Does gitmemek just mean to NOT go? Like altlamak would become atlamamak? (My Turkish husband, by the way, thinks I'm nuts for attempting to learn this language.) |
İ think you are wise for doing so 
İ don't know what Delimanyak said,for he,or she deleted it,but if it was 'gitmek-gitmemek'
Then he,she is right.
Gitmek is mastar,infinitive,and when you want to put the infinitive in the negative form,it would still be infinitive too,but negative.
So gitmek...is to go
GitMEmek...is NOT to go.
İn Turkish there is some understanding other than English,
İn English,we add not to the sentence for to make it negative
But in Turkish the look at it as they are producing another verb by adding the nagative suffix (me,ma ) to it.
so it's totally a new verb now,meaning NOT doing something,not just a NOT adding it to the main verb as in English.
Yes i know it may show that the result is same,but the difference is,in Türkçe we can add another suffix,like Zaman,'tenses' and you get confused which to put first,
When understanding that the (me,ma ) made new verb then you know,you must put the negative suffix first,because its now part of the main verb.
And yes,it goes for every verb
Like altlamak would become atlamamak
Gelmek become gelMEmek
Kalmak become kalMAmak.
And so on.
The negative suffix is (ma,me) and note the vowel harmony
Except with (yor ) zaman,it become (mI ) and again note the vowel harmony,but its always at same place,after the root verb,because as i said,we are producing a new verb
Gitmek.. infinitive
Git..is the root verb .
Kolay gelsin
