Vermeyi

Vermeyi is a Turkish verbal noun form derived from the verb vermek, meaning to give. It is created with the suffix -meyi and functions as a non-finite clause that denotes the act of giving. In Turkish, this form is used to express the idea of giving as a concept or as the object of another verb.

The primary function of vermeyi is to form infinitival or gerund-like clauses. It can serve as the object of verbs that take non-finite clauses, as a subject, or as part of a larger noun phrase. For example, vermeyi düşü(n)mek means “to think about giving,” and vermeyi seviyorum means “I like giving.” Vermeyi can appear after verbs such as düşünmek (to think), istemek (to want), planlamak (to plan), unutmak (to forget), and sevmek (to love).

Examples:

- Vermeyi düşündüm. (I thought about giving.)

- Vermeyi unutma. (Don’t forget to give.)

- Hediyeyi vermeyi planlıyorum. (I plan to give the gift.)

- Vermeyi seviyorum. (I like giving.)

In usage, vermeyi behaves similarly to infinitives in other languages: it enables statements about intentions, plans, obligations, desires, or reflections that involve the act of giving. It is a flexible construction common in both written and spoken Turkish and is a basic element of Turkish verbal syntax for expressing actions in a non-finite form.
