The Infinitive with Personal Pronoun Endings
When the standard infinitive takes the personal pronoun endings it drops its final -k of -mek or -mak in all persons:

Positive


gitmek - to go
gitmem - my going
gitmen - your going
gitmemiz - our going
gitmeniz - your going
gitmeleri - their going


Negative

gitmemek - not to go
gitmemem - my not going
gitmemen - your not going
gitmememiz - our not going
gitmemeniz - your not going
gitmemeleri - their not going

Some Examples of Differing Verb Forms using the Infinitive

The Personal endings can of course be used with the Infinitive of the Potential Mood:

gidebilmek - to be able to go
gidememek - to not be able to go
gidebilmem - my being able to go
gidemememiz - our not being able to go
gidebilmesi - his being able to go
gidememeleri - their not being able to go

These personal forms can further be extended by the addition of case suffixes:

gitmem lâzımdır - It is necessary for me to go. Lit: My going is necessary
gitmesini bekledim - I expected him to go - gitme-si-ni - Objective Case
kalmanızı isterim - I want you to stay
kalmamanızı isteriz - we want you not to stay
kalmasını istemiyorlar - they don't want him to stay
kalmamaları istemiyorum - I don't want them not to stay

The Little Used Heavy Infinitive

This is formed by affixing -lık or -lik to the standard Infinitive for the positive verb. The final -k of -mek is often dropped when adding the -lik suffix.

The negative is slightly different in that the -mek or -mak changes to -mez or -maz.

gelmek becomes gelme(k)lik

bakmamak becomes bakmazlık

The meaning of the heavy infinitive is the same as the standard infinitive and is only used when there may be ambiguity in the context. The heavy infinitive is little used. The heavy infinitive can also have personal pronouns and or case endings added to it.

It does not however drop its final -k of -lik as does the common infinitive when suffixes are added although this final -k will mutate to a final -ğ when necessary before an added vowel.

Positive

gelme(k)lik - to come
gelme(k)liğim - my coming
gelme(k)likleri - their coming


Negative

gelmezlik - not to come
gelmezliğimiz - our not coming
gelmezliği - his not coming

A Special Case

How to say - To pretend not to...

The use of the Negative of the Heavy Infinitive in the ablative case followed by the verb - gelmek - means - to pretend not to...

This pretend not to.. form is a reduplicated negative ie: bakmazlık - becomes bakMAmazlık meaning - to not NOT to see...

It is mentioned here because in this form it is daily use.

Bana bakmamazlıktan geldi - He pretended not to look at me
Onu görmemezlikten geliyorsunuz - You are pretending not to see it
Ayşe hanımı görmemezlikten gelir misiniz? - Are you pretending not to like Miss Ayşe?
This construction is a special locution and only used with - gelmek - as an auxiliary verb. But it is used widely to mean - To pretend not to...
