"Don't go to that park."

Translation: O parka gitme.

[IanBod]

Why gitme and not gitmez as it is an instruction?

[ex_contributor]

gitmez: he/she doesn't go

[airelibre]

Why not "Şu parka gitme"?

[AlexinNotTurkey]

I just added it. We probably need to describe "o" and "şu" and the contexts where they are used better. :)

[vvsey]

Yes, it would be very helpful! I am starting to form a feeling about them. "O" seems to be more distant, more abstract, and maybe more general. "Şu", on the other hand, is a third person that may be present, may be visible at the moment. Something like "that person/thing" vs "that person/thing over there".

[AlexinNotTurkey]

You would be correct in your feeling.

[Shahrazad26]

Is the difference between o and şu about how far away the object is? The Spanish words allí, allá, aquí, acá work the same way.
