vermek

Ver­mek is a Turkish verb meaning "to give." It is primarily transitive, used to transfer an object from the speaker or agent to a recipient. Beyond physical handing over, it is also used in a broad sense such as providing, supplying, granting something, or offering opportunities, information, or permission. The verb forms with suffixes added to the stem ver- and the infinitive -mek.

Grammar and syntax: Verme requires a thing and a recipient. The thing is usually in the accusative when definite, or bare in indefinite cases (bir kalem verdim; kalem verdim). The recipient is expressed in the dative with suffixes such as -a or -e, often with a possessive suffix for the recipient (arkadaşıma). The verb conjugates for tense and person: veriyorum, veriyorsun, veriyor; verdim, verdin, verdi; vereceğim, vereceksin.

Usage and nuance: Verme is common in everyday speech to indicate transfer, as well as in figurative uses such as bilgi vermek (to provide information), izin vermek (to grant permission), söz vermek (to promise), umut vermek (to give hope). The imperative form is ver! to instruct someone to give or hand over something, among other uses.

Etymology and related forms: Verme kökünden türeyen Türkçe bir fiil olan ver­mek, -mek infinitive ekiyle türetilir. Türk dilleri içinde kök ver- ile pek çok birleşik ifade ve deyim oluşturur, geniş anlam alanında da kullanılır.
