verelim

Verelim is a Turkish verb form that translates roughly as “let us give” or “shall we give.” It is the first-person plural optative form of the verb vermek, meaning “to give.” Verelim is used to propose an action or invite others to participate in giving or allowing something.

Morphology and usage: The form is created from the verb stem ver- plus the suffix -elim, which marks the first-person plural optative mood. This mood expresses a suggestion, invitation, or decision to act together rather than issuing a command. Verelim is common in everyday Turkish conversation and can appear in both informal and semi-formal contexts when proposing a shared action.

Examples:

- Biraz zaman verelim. — Let’s give a little time.

- Onlara şans verelim. — Let’s give them a chance.

Notes: Verelim is not a standalone noun or proper noun; it is a verb form that relies on a suitable verb or object to complete the sense of “giving” something or allowing time, opportunity, or chances. It represents a collaborative or polite way to propose action and is frequently found in spoken Turkish as part of sentences that advocate a joint approach. Vermek, the base verb, is irregular only in the sense that its stems and conjugation follow standard Turkish patterns for -mek/-mak verbs.
