Case Meaning
Random Pictures of Turkey
(sen) git go! (singular, to a single person)

(o) git-sin --> gitsin let him go (not like "allow him to go", this has the meaning
that you want him to go in an imperative way)

(siz) git-in --> gidin go! (plural, to multiple people)

(onlar) git-sinler --> gitsinler let them go (again, the meaning is not like "allow them to go",
gitsinler means that you want them to go and you are
expressing this in an imperative way)

As you can see, a commonly used clause, "let´s", is included in the imperative definition. If you want
to say "Let´s go to the movie", it becomes "Sinemaya gidelim" in Turkish. Now, let´s see how the Add thumbnails like this to your site

There is no first person singular or first person plural form of the imperatives, but there is another
form called wish clause that gives a similar meaning for the first person singular and plural. Note
that only the first person singular and first person plural forms of the wish clause are used in
practice. Here is how the wish clause is constructed: Profile of Faily

Btw folks, you don´t need to know what "let you" is. But anyway, it´s up
there (root w/o suffix for informal, root + -in for formal/plural).
ö"retmek= to teach, ö"renmek= to learn. you should be able to answer
the questions based on that. Good luck.
