gitme [= don’t go]
negative imperative from "gitmek" [= to go]

ne olur [= please; I beg you]

Tip:
In speech, this expression is reduced to “n'olur”, and has the same meaning of “lütfen” but with a healthy dose of pleading [= I beg you].

an [= moment; instant]

şu an [= now; this instant; for the time being; at the moment]

yarın [= tomorrow]

geleceğim [= I’ll come]
future simple from "gelmek" [= to come]

Tip:
In everyday speech, you’ll hear “geleceğim” pronounced and written as “gelecem”.

tamam mı? [= ok?; alright?]

Tip:
The question “tamam mı?”  is formed using the word “tamam” [= okay; well; alright] plus the question suffix “-mı” [-mı; -mi; -mü; and –mu are interrogative suffixes used to make yes/no questions]
