Vocabulary:

ya [interjection= used to express surprise, frustration or disappointment] aceleye getirmeyelim [= let us not hurry] (subjunctive mood negative) from aceleye getirmek [=to hurry; to do something in a hurry] Tip: “aceleye getirmek” is composed of the noun “acele” [= hurry; rush] + the verb “getirmek” [=to get; to bring]. getirelim [= let us hurry] Tip: Note that in other situations, “getirelim” would mean [=let us bring] since it comes from “getirmek” [=to bring].  However, in this context, Can uses the opposite of “aceleye getirmeyelim” [=let us not hurry] and omits “aceleye”. The full phrase should read as “aceleye getirelim”  [=let us hurry], but since it is obvious what he is referring to, there is no need to repeat “aceleye”.
