Yes "lazım çalışmak" is not a usual word order. I can imagine it in a poem but not elsewhere.

" Lazım " (needed) is the predicate and it takes the objects as gitmek, gitmem, gitmen etc. and the object comes before the predicate for "lazım".

Quoting cyrano:


Cyrano, Aslan'ı kırbaçladı. = Cyrano whipped Aslan.
Cyrano kırbaçladı Aslan'ı. = Cyrano whipped Aslan.
Kırbaçladı Aslan'ı Cyrano. = Cyrano whipped Aslan.



There are always small nuances when word order changes. Here is a pdf file on this issue:

Greetings,

I think the translations are not a good starting point since the two languages differ in many ways when building sentences.

I see your point with the example "not needed anymore". Since the infinitive is "to need" and the passive is "to be needed" you are looking for the equalent structure in Turkish and the answer is, there is none.

The languages are completely different. It won't be a literal translation that you see in the forums. In fact I will show you a literal translation to explain:

artık gerek yok : there is not a need anymore

artık: anymore
gerek: need
yok: there isn't

Here you can find information about passives.
http://www.turkishlanguage.co.uk/passivemood.htm

Translations can be useful to study but when it is the other way. If you study from Turkish to another language then you can see how the Turkish sentences are build and can have a sense of them.
In fact when reading any Turkish text this is exactly what you do. So I suggest reading Turkish texts and trying to understand their structure.
It is very important to study properly build whole Turkish sentences. We have unique ways to say things that can never be covered by trying to understand from the other language's perspective.
