Quoting Elisa:

"ses" means sound or voice, "sesli" is with sound/voice.

I can only go on what the dictionary says:
http://www.seslisozluk.com/?word=sesli
Definition 3 is worth looking at

Another wonderful idea with the dictionary, you could have audio pronounciations, so it could be a comprehensive kit...etc

Check out:

sesli = audio
sÃ¶zlÃ¼k = dictionary

Mağaza gitmek istiyorum.
Biralar almak lazım!

Mağazaya gitmek istiyorum. Bira almak lazım.

about case suffixes:
http://www.turkishlanguage.co.uk/nouns.htm

Mağazaya: Mağaza+y+a > to the shop
This is the Dative case: -a/-e and means to , towards

You are doing well bod.

Why bira and not biralar???
Surely you cannot imagine me going to the shop to buy a single beer lol

Also - which is better to use
mağaza or dÃ¼kkan???

Bira istiyor musun?

Maybe a Turkish Learner's Dictionary would be a good idea where the simple and common translations are available only. Unfortunately I dont know such a dictionary but if you have time we could write one together.

Is http://www.turkishdictionary.net connected with this site??? If so, we could perhaps simply run another set of the same code populated with a different set of words!!!

Is there anytime where I could get it wrong to the extent to accidentally insult someone by using the wrong term? Bear in mind that I don't intend to join the Turkish army lol

Sorry about the dictionary bod. There are many mistakes. Vadetmek has a different meaning than to promise, swear. It is also a very old fashioned word and is better avoided by the learners.

Perhaps I should have added a (paper) Turkish dictionary to my christmas wish list lol

Quoting bod:

vedetiyorum untumayarakım

unutmak= to forget
unut-maya-cağım=
-maya-: implies that the action wont be done
-cağım: makes it personal to u.

Now I am confused......
"I will not forget" is future tense

unutmak = to forget
unut-ma = negative
unut-ma-acak = negative future tense
unut-ma-acak-um = first person

Tidying it all up
untumayacak-um = 'y' fusion consonant
untumayacağum = consonant mutation (which I forgot originally

)

So it seems we came to the same answer (except the fusion consonant) but in a very different way. You seem to have defined "maya" as being the negative but I have "ma" as the negative and the "a" of your "maya" as part of the future tense "acak"!!!
