Actions act = new Actions(driver);
act.moveToElement(driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[@id='contentMain']/div/nav/ul/li[8]/a"))).perform();

Answer 1

Use following code to achieve the same -

    System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C://chromedriver.exe");
    driver =new ChromeDriver();     
    driver.get("http://www.n11.com/");
    driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(20, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

    WebElement menu =  driver.findElement(By.xpath("//li[@class='catMenuItem']/a[@title='Kitap, Müzik, Film, Oyun']"));
    WebElement submenu = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//li[@class='subCatMenuItem']/a[@title='Kitap']"));

    Actions action = new Actions(driver);

    action.moveToElement(menu).moveToElement(submenu).click().build().perform();

Use some Implicit Wait to avoid timeout exceptions to find your web element
Use more specific xpath to find your web element.

In your case first you need to hover on Kitap, Müzik, Film, Oyun menu and then have to perform click on Kitap submenu

Answer 2

You can try to use ExplicitWait with more specific XPath :

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 15);
WebElement element = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("(//a[@title='Kitap, Müzik, Film, Oyun']")[2])));
// WebElement element = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.linkText("Kitap, Müzik, Film, Oyun")));
Actions act = new Actions(driver);
act.moveToElement(element).perform();
