Insegnante professionistamamız suffix
Merhaba herkese! :)
I know tanışmak means to meet.. But this Gülben Ergen's line is translated in past tense: We met by coincidence
Bi tesadüftü tanışmamız..
I thought "we met" in Turkish translates to "tanıştık"
Does this -mamız suffix mean another past tense maybe?
Thank you so much in advance! :)

This is an inverse sentence.
Subject:
- Tanışmamız (Our meeting, our becoming acquainted )
- Tanışmak (to meet, to become acquainted)
-Tanış (root of the verb) + {ma}/me (suffix which makes noun form from verb form, in English it is made by adding -ing to verb such as "to go" --> "going") + {mız} / miz / muz / müz (our, possesion) = Our meeting, our becoming acquainted
Bi = Bir (a,an,one) (It is a street accent)
Tesadüf = Coincidence
-dı/di/du/dü = past tense suffix and after "f,s,t,k,ç,ş,h,p" letters "d" will be "t"
Tesadüftü = It was coincidence
Bi tesadüftü tanışmamız = Our meeting/becoming acquainted was a coincidence.

Hello Nazee
Bi tesadüftü tanışmamız (In the songs, the sentences are often inverted, meaning the regular word order often changes)
Tanışmamız bir tesadüftü. Our meeting (Us meeting) was a coincidence.
Tanışmak: To Meet Tanışma: Meeting (Noun form of a verb) mız: possessive ending for pronoun biz/we
Tanışma+mız literally means 'our meeting' which translates into 'us meeting'

I think it's part of a grammar point, not the end of the sentence. What's the next word...?
('We met' would be tanıştık)
...bence.
