- 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. :)

Давай будем писа - Давай будем писать вещи по-русски здесь!
Здесь еще почти ничего по-русски. Это не полезно ;(

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.

- I am a native turkish speaker and i am really flattered with Adam Ant's message. I didn't know my language was apreciated that much. And I didn't think there were people who were trying to learn it.
Thank you Adam Ant.

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.

Song Translation - I translated this song (by Luis Miguel) from Spanish to English.
Can anyone help translate it from English to Turkish?

it's me
who looks at the rain
and remembers you
it's me
also
who needs you
and it feels like dying
it's me
it's me
who with your word
has begun to feel
the one
who in the clouds
has started to live
stop going in circles of doubt without stopping
it's me
it's me
who seeks the finding
to be yours
it's me
and I am the one who has given my all
without thinking of myself
the one that a star
from the sky wants to bring you down
with only having you
wakes with the desire to love
the one who most brings you closer
and most able to predict you
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
it's me
who has yearned for you the most
and who has waited for you the most
it's me
