"Come to the bar with me."

Translation: Benimle bara gel.

[joklomo]

Why isn't it: Benimle baraya gel? To the bar is dative right?

[mizinamo]

Yes, but "bar" is "bar", so the dative ending is simply -a: bar + -a = bara.

[joklomo]

Ah thank you!

Why gel is not declined ? I typed geliyorsun ..

[mizinamo]

Why gel is not declined ?

Because it's a command.

Command forms are often very short, cross-linguistically.

In German, the command form is also the bare stem, e.g. komm! from kommen.

thx!

Can it be "Benimle barda gel!"?

[AlexinNotTurkey]

No, this doesn't make sense in Turkish. You are taking about motion to a place. You must use the dative case. The locative is only for stationary things :)
