vermez

Vermez is a Turkish verb form meaning "does not give" or "will not give." It is the third-person singular present tense negative form of vermek, the verb that means "to give." In Turkish, negation is created by adding the suffix -mez (or -maz after vowel harmony) to the verb stem ver-, producing vermez. The form can stand without an explicit subject pronoun, with the understood subject typically being he, she, or it (o).

Usage and function: Vermez expresses a present-tense negation and can convey habitual negation or a specific, current situation depending on context. It often appears in assertions about someone’s habit or willingness to give, and it can be turned into questions with the particle mi, as in vermez mi? meaning "doesn't he/she/it give?" In everyday speech, vermez is commonly used with direct objects, such as para (money), hediye (a gift), or bilgi (information), to indicate that someone does not provide or share something.

Examples: O vermez. (He/She does not give.) O bana para vermez. (He does not give me money.) Vermezler mi? (Do they not give?) The suffix system in Turkish allows related forms for other persons and tenses, such as verir (he/she gives) or vermezler (they do not give).

Overview: Vermez illustrates Turkish agglutinative morphology, where a single verb stem combines with affixes to express negation and person. It is a common, stable form used across formal and informal registers to describe the act of withholding or declining to give in the present tense.
