uyku / uyuma

[bwac14]

Merhaba,

I was wondering what is the difference between uyku and uyuma.

I think they both mean sleeping.

Uyumayı severim.
Uykuyu severim.

Are both of these correct? Or is only the first one correct?

Teşekkürler

Yes, they are both correct but this doesn't mean that they can replace each other in all cases:
"Uyumaya gidiyorum" is correct, but "uykuya gidiyorum" is wrong.
"Uykum geldi" is correct, but "uyumam geldi" is wrong.

Uyku is a noun that means sleep or nap.
Uyumak is a verb that means to sleep.
Uyuma can be a verb or noun.

Burada uyuma = Do not sleep here
Uyumayı severim = I like sleeping

Both of the phrases you wrote are correct but "Uyumayı severim" sounds better.
