The 'Let's' Shortcut

💡

The 'Y' Bridge

Always remember the 'y' buffer when adding the past suffix -ydı to a verb ending in -sa/-se. It's 'gitseydim', not 'gitsedim'.

자주 묻는 질문 (6)

Yes, but it's rare. 'Gidesin' means 'May you go'. In daily life, we use the imperative 'Git' or 'Gitsene' instead.
'Gidelim mi?' is a suggestion (Shall we go?), while 'Gidecek miyiz?' is asking for a fact (Are we going to go?).
Technically yes (e.g., gidesin), but it sounds very old-fashioned or poetic. In modern Turkish, use the Imperative (gitsin) or Conditional (gitsen) instead.
Gidelim mi? is a suggestion ('Shall we go?'). Gidecek miyiz? is a question about a future fact ('Are we going to go?').
It is the subjunctive/conditional marker.
Put it before the subjunctive verb.
