Could someone please explain to me if there is a list of verbs that needs to be in a accusative form in the sentence. Sevmek is the only one that I know.

Re: Accusative verbs
@MarjanZahedi --
I want to make sure I understand which question you are asking, because I think you got an answer for (A), but not for (B).
(A) Which verbs "take" the accusative for their direct object -- instead of some other case?
- Yes, a good dictionary will list which case to use for which verb to get which meaning. Some online dictionaries do not, but my favorite does.
- You can find lists for different cases posted on various sites, but they are usually limited to a few examples. Since the ones that can take the accusative is such a longer list, you might do better to look for lists of common verbs that take other unexpected cases instead.
(B) Which verbs very nearly always "require" the accusative case for their direct object?
Bad news: There is not a list. We know about sevmek, but the reason we use the accusative with it is not really a rule -- it is about what the verb means. It is hard to say you "love/like" an indefinite thing. Even when you love/like that thing generally, you are really saying that you love every instance of it, and that is sort of specific too.
I love gardens. --> Bahçeleri seviyorum.
I love a parade! [which really means you love any and all parades] --> Geçit törenini/törenlerini seviyorum.
Good news: There are not many verbs like this. Besides sevmek, the only verbs I can think that behave sort of like this are unutmak (already mentioned) -- because you cannot forget something that is indefinite -- and beklemek (sometimes?) -- because mostly you wait for a definite thing or a completely generic thing. Not an exhaustive list obviously, but a different way to think about it!

Maybe let us just make our own?
beklemek = to wait
Here is a sentence from Duolingo:
Hostesi bekliyorum. = I am waiting for the flight attendant.
