Nereye gidersek gidelim, tasma olmadan köpeği dışarı çıkarmıyoruz.

Nereye means to where? or where to?

It is made from:

• nere = where
• -ye = dative case ending, often used for direction

So in this sentence, nereye is about destination: where we go / wherever we go, not just location.

Compare:

• Nerede? = Where? (location)
• Nereye? = Where to? (direction)
• Nereden? = Where from?

This is a very common Turkish pattern meaning no matter... / whoever... / wherever... / whatever...

So:

• Nereye gidersek gidelim = Wherever we go / No matter where we go

It is not meant to be read literally as if we go, let's go. Together, the repeated verb creates a concessive meaning.

This pattern appears a lot:

• Kim gelirse gelsin = Whoever comes
• Ne derse desin = Whatever he/she says
• Nereye gidersek gidelim = Wherever we go

So the repetition is grammatical and natural.

Gidersek can be broken down like this:

• git- = go
• -er- = aorist marker
• -sek = if we ... / conditional, 1st person plural

So gidersek literally means if we go.

In this special pattern, though, it helps produce the meaning wherever we go when paired with gidelim.

Yes, by itself gidelim often means let's go.

But in this pattern, it is not functioning as a normal suggestion. In nereye gidersek gidelim, it helps form the idiomatic meaning wherever we go.

So:

• Gidelim! = Let's go!
• Nereye gidersek gidelim = Wherever we go

This is one of those cases where a form keeps its normal shape, but the whole expression has a different grammatical function.

Yes, literally it is something like without a leash being present.

• tasma = leash
• olmadan = without being / without there being

In natural English, we would usually just say without a leash.

This is a normal Turkish way to say that something is absent. It may sound a little more literal than English, but it is very natural.

You could also hear:

• tasmasız = without a leash / leashless

So these are both possible, though they are slightly different in style:

• tasma olmadan = without a leash
• tasmasız = leashless / without a leash

Because köpeği is the definite direct object.

• köpek = dog
• köpeği = the dog (as a specific object)

In Turkish, when the direct object is specific/definite, it usually takes the accusative ending.

So:

• köpek çıkarıyoruz = we take out a dog / dogs (indefinite or generic-sounding)
• köpeği çıkarıyoruz = we take out the dog / our dog (specific)

Here, the sentence is clearly talking about a particular dog, so köpeği is the natural form.

Because çıkmak and çıkarmak mean different things.

• çıkmak = to go out
• çıkarmak = to take out / make something go out

The subject here is we, and the dog is the object. So the meaning is not we don't go outside, but we don't take the dog outside.

That is why Turkish uses çıkarmak, the causative/transitive form.

Compare:

• Köpek dışarı çıkıyor. = The dog is going outside.
• Köpeği dışarı çıkarıyoruz. = We are taking the dog outside.

Here it most naturally means a general habit or rule:

• We don't take the dog outside without a leash.

Even though the Turkish present continuous form (-yor) often looks like English is doing, it also very commonly expresses habits, routines, and general practices.

So in context, çıkarmıyoruz is best understood as:

• we don't take the dog out
• we never take the dog out
• we do not take the dog out

not just one action happening at this moment.

Dışarı often works as an adverb meaning outside / outdoors / out.

So:

• dışarı çıkmak = to go outside
• dışarı çıkarmak = to take outside

This is a very common fixed expression, and no extra case ending is needed here.

You may also see forms like:

• dışarıya = to outside / outside
• dışarıda = outside
• dışarıdan = from outside

But in everyday Turkish, dışarı çıkmak / dışarı çıkarmak is extremely common.

Because Turkish usually does not need subject pronouns when the verb already shows the person.

Here, the verbs already tell us the subject is we:

• gidersek = if we go
• gidelim = let's go / we go in this pattern
• çıkarmıyoruz = we are not taking out / we don't take out

So adding biz would usually be unnecessary unless you want emphasis.

Turkish word order is flexible, but the given version is very natural.

The sentence begins with:

• Nereye gidersek gidelim = Wherever we go

This sets up the condition/background first, and then the main statement comes after it:

• tasma olmadan köpeği dışarı çıkarmıyoruz = we don't take the dog outside without a leash

That order is clear and natural.

You could move parts around for emphasis, but the original sentence is a good neutral choice. For example, putting tasma olmadan earlier highlights the leash condition, while putting the wherever we go clause first highlights that the rule applies everywhere.

A helpful breakdown is:

• Nereye = where to
• gidersek gidelim = wherever we go / no matter where we go
• tasma olmadan = without a leash
• köpeği = the dog
• dışarı çıkarmıyoruz = we do not take outside

So the structure is roughly:

Wherever we go, without a leash, we do not take the dog outside.

In more natural English:

Wherever we go, we don't take the dog outside without a leash.
