"gelem" is actually same as "geleyim" [let me come] this is used in some regional dialects in Anatolia. Some examples :

Bugün sana  gelem  mi ? . ---> Shall I come to you today ?

Oraya nasıl gelem ? ---> How shall I come there ?

 

more examples :

 

Gidem 

Görem

İçem

---------------------------

gelen ---> the one who comes /came

Buraya gelen herkese söyle ---> Tell everyone who comes here.

Bugün gelen adamı tanıyor musun ? ---> Do you know the man who came today?

Quoting GulBahar

Complete the missing parts in the sentences below.

 

  1) Nerede  yaşandığımızı  öğrenmek istediler.

  They wanted to know where we lived.

 

 2) Herkes  onun  ne  anlama  geldiğini  merak ettiler.

 Everyone wondered what it meant.

 Here, we don´t use plural as there is already indication of  plural which is "Herkes"

gel + dik + i + n + i ---> we use "dik" in this case.

a --->  gelmek,  remember that gelmek requires dative [-e]


3) En çok hangi  kitapları  okumaktan  hoşlandığımı sordular.

They asked which books I enjoyed reading most.

 -dan hoşlanmak 


4) Bu  yıl  ne  kadar  kazanacakları  hakkında  bir fikrin var mı ?

Have you any idea how much they´ll earn this year ?

 

 

Bravo , good try.

 Possessive before plural

In some words, 1st and 2nd singular possessive suffix  comes before plural suffix -lar/-ler.

It acts as -gil suffix.

 

Anne + n + ler ----> Your mother´s 

Annenlere gidelim. --->Let´s go to your mother´s. [Let´s visit your mother and her household ]


Annenler = Annengil 

 

Dede + m + ler ----> My grandfather´s [My grandfather´s house/family]

Dedemler = Dedemgil

 

Babamlar = Babamgil

Teyzenler = Teyzengil

Amcamlar = Amcamgil

Halanlar  = Halangil

  Double possessive


In Turkish, we don´t double a suffix.  However, there is some exceptions such as in the following words :


1) biri --> some /one of    

here, "i" is already possessive mark, we added another one "i"  "birisi"

 

biri = birisi  -----------> someone.

Biri geldi =  Birisi geldi.

Someone came.

 

2) kimi = kimis ----> some [people]

   As pronoun, they can be used interchangeably :

   Kimi okulu bitirdi kimi bitiremedi. = Kimisi okulu bitirdi kimisi bitiremedi.

   Some finished school, some couldnt.

 

    As an adjective they can NOT be used interchangeably :

    kimi insanlar ---> some people

    however,

    kimisi  insanlar    we can NOT say "kimisi insanlar"

 

 

In those words as if the first possessive is forgotten and added another one.

The reason of doubling possessive in those words possibly because to strengthen the possessiveness.

Quoting elenagabriela

could be something like..?

 

save yourself for...keep yourself for....

(kendimi sana sakladım = I save/ keep myself for you...?)

 

(kendini Parise sakla = save/ keep yourself for Paris..?)

 

 

 

Yes, that can also mean "to save yourself for the right [specific] occasion "

by saying that, we mean " be ready for that occasion "
