here are rough translations of these suffixes to their English equivalents.
and translations of Yasemin's examples.
-arak = by ....ing
Buraya koşarak geldim.
(to here) (by running) (I came)
literally, i came here by running. proper translation to English is probably simply "I came running here"
olmak (to be) + arak -> olarak. this one simply means "as" eg)
doktor olarak çalışıyorsun. = You are working as a doctor
doctor / by being / you are working. by being = "as".
other examples
futbolcu iyi, simpatik, yakisikli. (the footballer is good, nice and handsome)
evet ama, futbolcu olarak nasil? yes but how is he as a footballer?
insan olarak ....... (as a person....)
çok çalışarak kazandı (by working a lot he won) this is a bad example actually but you will get the point.
-ken = while
Seni beklerken sıkıldım. While waiting for you I got bored.
You / while waiting / i got bored
in this example, and i think most often when using this suffix, you will first add the suffix for present (aorist???) tense. this suffix is -ir, -r, or -er.
bekle-r-ken
konuş-ur-ken (while talking)
gid-er-ken (while going)
Konuşacağın zamanı bekliyorum. = I'm waiting for the time when you will speak.
