| - Don't forget to tell the punters that Turkish is a "lastik gibi" language. It'll stretch wherever you want it to. It's also the most regular language in the world, with NO irregular forms. It's amazing really. English has the most words, Chinese the most "letters" (characters), Russian the most devillish grammar. But Turkish is the most logical. And that's a fact. Öğretmenim = I'm a teacher Öğretmenim = My teacher Yes, it means both those things! Wacky, but wonderful :) | |

| Sıkıldım or S*kild*m - Do be careful to write and pronounce "Sıkıldım" correctly. If you say it as if it had dots on the i's you're saying something very crude! Forewarned is forearmed. :) | |

| Russian Forum - Hey Mehmet and Adam! Let's write in Russian in the Russian forum? Since Turkish and Russian are not closely related, we would confuse our Turkish Colleagues by writing in cyrillic in this thread, so instead I propose we write here instead: Russian Forum I look forward to talking with you both. | |

| - Sorry Anya, I can't write in Russian forum because I forgot most of the Cyril Alphabet and my keyboard doesn't support it. I just know some basics of Russian. But I would be glad to help anyone with their Turkish here. | |

| - [quote][i]Originally posted by Adam Ant[/i] Russian the most devillish grammar. Öğretmenim = I'm a teacher Öğretmenim = My teacher Yes, it means both those things! Wacky, but wonderful :)[/quote] Have you ever tried Finnish? ;) Russian grammar is simple in comparison. But that's interesting about those words meaning the same thing - it's the same in Finnish, when certain endings are added. And there are (controversial) ideas that the Uralic and Altaic language families are related.. Anyway, Turkish is on my list for learning in the future so I shall be around! | |

| the little difference - A sidenote: While these two words look the same, what makes them mean different is the stress on different syllables. to mean "my teacher" you put the stress on öğretmen-IM yet to mean "I'm a teacher" it is like öğret-MEN-im so these two meanings can be distinguished easily in conversation and also in the context. | |

Special thanks to Stormgoblin who gave the "shootingstar" idea. it's me who looks at the rain and remembers you Yağmura bakıp seni hatırlayan benim, it's me also who needs you and it feels like dying Sena ihtiyacı olan yine benim, ve bu ölmek gibi bir şey it's me it's me who with your word has begun to feel the one who in the clouds has started to live Bir sözcüğünle hissetmeye, bulutlar üzerinde yaşamaya başlayan benim, benim o stop going in circles of doubt without stopping Şüphe döngülerine dalıp gitmeyi bırak it's me it's me who seeks the finding to be yours Senin olanı bulmaya çalışan benim, benim o it's me and I am the one who has given my all without thinking of myself Kendisini düşünmeden her şeyini veren, the one that a star from the sky wants to bring you down with only having you wakes with the desire to love Aşk arzusuyla uyanman için gökyüzünde kayan yıldız olan the one who most brings you closer and most able to predict you Seni kendisine en fazla yakınlaştıran, seni herkesten çok sezinleyen benim it's me If one day the complete universe you want I will give Don't forget this crazy person you have in this life Günün birinde bütün evreni istersen onu sana verecek olan benim Bu hayatta sahip olduğun çılgın adamı aklından çıkarma it's me who has yearned for you the most and who has waited for you the most it's me Seni en çok arzulayan, seni herkesten çok bekleyen benim, benim o | |
