"Git!"

Translation: Go!

[JamesTWils]

Or, in parts of the American South, "Get!"

[Ektoraskan]

"Get!" works in some parts of Turkey too! As an alternative pronunciation to "git" ;p

[JamesTWils]

Well, in the South, they may write "get," but they pronounce it "git," and writers sometimes even spell it that way to represent the dialect. I would be surprised if it were not in Mark Twain that way, for instance.

[PaCa826187]

That was my second thought...after the British meaning of 'Git!'. Funny old thing, language.

I bet Turkish programmers have a lot of fun using GitHub.

The recording just sounds like a grunt...

[EnglishBob]

Agreed.

[AsetBerdyb]

Can I use this word as "go away!" or "get out" ?

[AlexinNotTurkey]

It can be like "go away" but "get out" is more like "çık"

[AsetBerdyb]

Thanks

I found that the infinitive of "to go" is "gitmek" but the corresponding present stem is "gider-". It this sort of consonant mutation? Do all verbs with infinitive stems ending in -t follow this pattern?

[Yomalyn]

Consonant mutation happens not just to verb stems, but whenever the following consonants are trapped between two vowels: k, t, ç, p. (I think of ketçap/ketchup). Explanation, examples, and exceptions at TurkishBasics.com. It is also discussed in the Accusative Tips & Notes

[cathnog]

it is consonant mutation. I'm not completely sure how other verbs with stem ending in -t behave, as im very new to this myself:)

[GordonRobb]

Can ı assume that the 't' ıs pronounced? Can't Reslly her it.

[AlexinNotTurkey]

It is always pronounced :)

Why is go without the exclamation mark not acceptable?
