| - hafakan, there's one that I found too. Take a look at http://www.onlineturkish.com/vocab.asp Not sure you guys already know about that or not, though. It's a pretty neat site there, you could even see some dialogs and get to listen to some phrases. I think those are samples from the book they sell. | |

| - merhaba ! thanks for your contribution. yes i knew that site [url]http://www.onlineturkish.com[/url]. but i dont remember whether i record it here around or not. soon i think to collect all those links together and write all of them under a topic. that would be quite helpful for learners. isnt it? if you know more adress / or anybody knows more adresses, please feel free to send me. i have already some links with me. see you here around HRK! | |

| - Merhaba hafakan, ben teşekkür ederim. So that's good. That'd be of great help for the new ones. Already mentioned, but another way of saying it (Elinize sağlık): Ellerin(iz)e sağlık. Also there's "Ziyade olsun"; not so common, though. This one is also: Rica ederim (You are welcome/Not at all) | |

| - hey u are quick !!! thanks a lot !! how about : - what do you mean by that? - Can you express that in a different way? - Shall i call an ambulance? - where are the restrooms please? - Please don\'t go, stay with me | |
| freistiler | Wednesday 07th of June 2006 09:43:27 PM |
| - - what do you mean by that? Ne demek istiyorsunuz? (And if someone does something, like a hand gesture, and you ask \' what do you mean by that, you say: Bununla ne demek istiyorsun? or Bununla neyi kastediyorsun?) - Can you express that in a different way? Bunu farklı bir yolla anlatabilir misiniz? ( or açıklayabilir misiniz? ) - Shall i call an ambulance? -Ambulans çağırayım mı? -Do you want me to call an ambulance? -Ambulans çağırmamı ister misiniz? - where are the restrooms please? Tuvalet(or lavabo, which is more polite) nerede acaba? - Please don\'t go, stay with me Lütfen gitme, benimle kal P.S. = all the \'iz\' and \'ız\' and \'uz\' at the end of verbs are used to make the sentence polite, they\'re mostly used when referring to people older than you or people that you do not know. You can drop them if you like.) | |
