| English-Turkish and Turkish-English - Hi Everybody! Herkese Merhaba! If you´re looking for a way to phrase something in Turkish or need to have some other thing translated from Turkish into English then this is the right place to come and ask. :) If you can, it would be useful if you attempted the translation yourself at first. Native speakers will always be happy to offer suggestions for improvement. [got the idea from Spanish forum and Lore, thanks!] ;) | |

| daisyc | Friday 09th of June 2006 03:03:12 AM |
| - well Osman, it\'s a quotation really \"To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead\" by Bertrand Russell I guess it means u are 3/4 parts dead ?? ;) how about: \"Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face.\" by Victor Hugo Teşekkür ederim :D | |
| Osman | Friday 09th of June 2006 03:31:56 AM |
| - this is one is relatively easier i guess :) \"Kahkaha, insanın yüzünden kışı söküp atan bir güneştir.\" :D [not that literally but sounds very well] rica ederim :) | |
| daisyc | Friday 09th of June 2006 08:13:15 PM |
| - ok some more : 1. Look out world ! Here comes a pb member :D 2. Can I ask you something? 3. Sure. Go ahead. | |
| Osman | Saturday 10th of June 2006 04:05:08 AM |
| - let\'s try :) 1. Dünyaya bak! işte bir pb üyesi geliyor! 2. Sana birşey sorabilir miyim? [informal] Size birşey sorabilir miyim? [formal] 3. Tabiki, Devam et. | |
| daisyc | Saturday 10th of June 2006 06:26:08 PM |
| - sağ olun Osman ! :D | |
| Osman | Saturday 10th of June 2006 10:34:13 PM |
| - lafı bile olmaz! [not worth even to mention] but you should say, sağol Osman. because i am singular ;) when you say it to more than one person, then feel free to say sağolun :) if you insist on saying sağolun to a single person, you should add mr.- bey ;) like Sağolun Osman bey.. :D | |
| daisyc | Tuesday 13th of June 2006 11:49:23 PM |
| - sağol Osman :D | |
| Tiger | Saturday 12th of August 2006 02:41:20 AM |
| - Could someone please tell me what \"wider\" is in Turkish? In German, the word is \"weiter\", if that helps at all. For example: He is wider than her. Er ist weiter dann sie. | |
| Osman | Saturday 12th of August 2006 05:16:07 PM |
| - wider means \"daha geniş\" in Turkish. O, ondan daha geniştir (şişmandır, kiloludur) (if you mean one\'s kg) ;) | |
| Tiger | Sunday 13th of August 2006 09:24:56 AM |
| - Thanks, and sorry about the other post. I\'ll let my turkish friend know right away! :D | |
| Osman | Sunday 13th of August 2006 11:58:36 AM |
| - you are welcome :) Don\'t forget to recommend the site :D | |

| ajdar çikita muz - What would be the exact translation of that song. \"ajdar çikita muz\". Tried to translate but could not. sth connected to bananas? | |
| Osman | Sunday 27th of August 2006 01:23:23 PM |
| - Ajdar is the man who is singing that song. Çikita Muz.. hmm.. Muz is banana. Let\'s talk about çikita.. Çikita entered to Turkish Language from a banana trade\'s name >>> http://www.chiquita.com/ Originally, Chiquita is a Spanish word but in Turkish çikita muz is the symbol of big and good banana. if someone else knows more, please share with us ;) | |
| omersener | Friday 08th of September 2006 04:11:03 PM |
| - Herkese merhaba, after checking some of the translations I thought they can be changed a little to sound more natural. So here we go: Posted by Daisy- 1. Look out world ! Here comes a pb member 2. Can I ask you something? 3. Sure. Go ahead. my try: 1. Bakın millet! İşte bir phrasebase üyesi geliyor! 2. Bir şey sorabilir miyim? 3. Tabii ki. Buyrun. the word \"millet\" means \"nation\" but corresponds to the phrase \"look out world\" better i guess. and the phrase \"go ahead\" corresponds to \"buyrun\" in Turkish i suppose. another post by Daisy: \"Turkish is great and I\'m loving it.\" my try, less literal: \"Türkçe hârika bir dil, Türkçe\'yi çok seviyorum.\" Though \"onu\" means \"it\" literally, repetition of the word is just fine and sounds more natural, i suppose. Bye for now, Ömer | |

| Translation Request - Merhaba! I have just discovered these forums and I must say I am impressed. It seems like a valuable resource here and I shall be checking them on a regular basis in my quest to Learn Turkish :) Could someone please translate these two sentances to English for me please? \"Hayati Mars Ettim 2-0 öndeyim\" \"AkıLLı Beni BuLMaZ DeLi PeŞimDeN AyRıLMaZ!\" I have had no luck doing it myself :( Thanks for any help :) | |
| Osman | Monday 02nd of October 2006 12:40:33 PM |
| - Merhaba! Welcome! Great you liked here! Hope you will join games :) we are here to correct ;) \"i won against life, i lead, 2-0.\" (mars etmek is an expression generally used while playing backgammon. if you win, you lead 1-0, if you \"mars etmek\", you lead 2-0. :D it is classical to use this verb in that kind of sentences. it shows that i didnt lose against the life.) the Clever (person) doesn\'t find me, the mad (person) doesn\'t leave me - goes on following me. That\'s it :) have to be off for university! Görüşürüz!! | |
| agrippa907th | Thursday 05th of October 2006 05:29:03 AM |
| - Thanks for the swift reply :) I have another one I am struggling with... \"BİR KALBİN NESİ VAR? 2 KALBİN AŞKI VAR\" I understand it is something to do with two hearts maybe? I am not sure. | |
| Rukiye | Thursday 05th of October 2006 12:39:45 PM |
| - Hi, Here is my attempt to translate \"BİR KALBİN NESİ VAR? 2 KALBİN AŞKI VAR\". \"What does one heart have? 2 hearts have love\". | |
| Vasiliki | Thursday 05th of October 2006 07:37:28 PM |
| - Hi people! I need your help! How would you translate \"Yarın ola hayrola demişler\"? | |
| Osman | Saturday 07th of October 2006 03:20:49 PM |
| - hmm...Vasiliki, it is a common usage.. i\'d better to give the meaning in a context too ;) they have said: let it be tomorrow, let it be goodness. a conversation Emre: Merhaba Ahmet nasılsın? Ahmet: İyiyim, ya sen? Emre: Teşekkürler. Yarın üniversitede sınav var, biliyorsun. Çalıştın mı? Ahmet: Çalışmadım. Emre: Neden? Ahmet: Boşver. Hiç uğraşamam. Emre: Yarın ne yapacaksın o zaman? Ahmet: Yarın ola hayrola. Herhalde bir çare buluruz. (if you didnt understand any word, tell me pls) Generally, we say \"yarın ola hayrola\". hayrola = hayır ola :) It is difficult to give the exact meaning, but don\'t worry, it doesnt have any offending meaning or similar to that. You will get used to it more each time you hear. Endaksi? :D | |
| agrippa907th | Sunday 08th of October 2006 03:09:19 PM |
| - Selam, I have just one more translation request. It is quite a long one... \"KALBİM alışmaz TENİM karışmaz KİMSELERE neyse AŞK yüzünden ÖLMEZ hiç KİMSE ama GÜCENME ahım KALDI her YERİNDE ve SEN hiç RAHAT uyuma BİDEs en ONADA yakışm\" Sorry for such a long sentance, I was just curious as to it\'s full meaning as I saw it on a friends webpage. | |
| Osman | Sunday 08th of October 2006 11:16:04 PM |
| - Merhaba I dislike such sentences, they are cliches. It is related to love. it says that nobody dies because of loves but i am offended bla bla. :p all same story! :) | |
| Vasiliki | Monday 09th of October 2006 02:41:18 PM |
| - Endaksi Osman, Tercüme için teşekkür ederim. As you said, I\'ll get used to such expressions yavaş yavaş (I just hope it\'s not too yavaş...) | |
| Osman | Tuesday 10th of October 2006 11:39:43 PM |
| - Rica ederim! Zamanla eminim daha çok anlayacaksın ;) | |

| help with translation to english - Could you possibly translate this into english for me please edit: Sorry, we don\'t translate such things. Sorry about it. Thank you in advance for your help | |
| farzinf | Wednesday 20th of December 2006 01:53:16 PM |
| - slm arkadaslar!! I would like help with the translation of the following words. I have attempted to choose the correct word and use it in the sentence appropriately. Did I use it correctly? Could i have written it any better?: 1. \"In fact,\" / \"actually\" as in Infact, the woman who cut my hair was from Baku nitekim, O kanim ki saçlarim kesdi bakulu dir 2. \"but\" as in But I didn\'t do it! ama yapmadim! (I know the word \"ama\" might be able to be used but are there any other synonyms that would make a better fit for the sentence?) 3. \"with me\" / \"with you\" Come with me to movie theater. tiyatro benlen gel. Can we also come with you? Bende sizlen gelebilir miyiz? 4. I often confuse the following, if you can check to see if all are correct, I\'d much appreciate it. We will come = biz gelecegiz You will come = siz geleceksiniz (plural) We came = biz geldik You came = siz geldiz (plural) Thanks once again! :D | |
| zappie | Thursday 21st of December 2006 04:07:36 AM |
| - 1. \"In fact,\" / \"actually\" as in Infact, the woman who cut my hair was from Baku Aslında saçımı kesen kadın Bakülüydü. Better use \" aslında \" 2. \"but\" as in But I didn\'t do it! ama yapmadim! (He wanted me to do xxx but I didn\'t) OK If you are denying something and you want to underline \"I\" you must use \"ben\" and you may add \"ki\" in the end. Ama (onu) ben yapmadım ki! (I know the word \"ama\" might be able to be used but are there any other synonyms that would make a better fit for the sentence?)\"Fakat\" can be used, too. 3. \"with me\" / \"with you\" Come with me to movie theater. tiyatro benlen gel. \"benlen\" is too much street language You may hear \"benle\" from educated people but that -n in the end sounds girlish. Use personal pronouns in the genetive + le Tiyatroya benimle gel. Can we also come with you? Biz de sizinle gelebilir miyiz? 4. I often confuse the following, if you can check to see if all are correct, I\'d much appreciate it. We will come = biz gelecegiz -eceğiz -eceksiniz -ecek(ler) You will come = siz geleceksiniz (plural) We came = biz geldik You came = siz geldiniz (plural) -dik, -diniz -di(ler) Bu kadar kolay! | |
| farzinf | Friday 22nd of December 2006 06:17:33 PM |
| - thanks zappie, you\'ve cleard up alot things that I was wondering about. Would you kindly also translate the following sentences. :D tesekkur ederim - I remember now - Do you remember - I am forgetfull | |
| zappie | Saturday 23rd of December 2006 05:07:59 AM |
| - Past tense is preferred to the present continuous but both are OK. - I remember now Şimdi hatırlıyorum (Şimdi hatırladım) - Do you remember Hatırlıyor musun(uz)? (Hatırladın(ız) mı?) - I am forgetfull (Çok) unutkanım (kusura bakma(yın)) | |
| farzinf | Tuesday 26th of December 2006 05:28:48 AM |

Some of them can be used but some can\'t. by the way i am still thinking of number 4 :) görüşürüz![/quote] isnt number 4 \"heeeee\" like \"eveeeet\" \"yeaaa\" | |
| Osman | Tuesday 26th of December 2006 06:02:30 AM |
| - Nope, i think it is the sound when we understand something later than usual :D kind of hıııı or haaaa or ha öyle mi? (when you learn something new, generally you are kind of surprised) i guess. :) | |
| farzinf | Thursday 28th of December 2006 05:07:36 AM |
| - yes that is what i meant :D | |
| Osman | Thursday 28th of December 2006 05:09:48 AM |
| - i should remind you of that it isn\'t a kind expression :p (is it expression?, seems to be kind of weird sound more than being an expression :D) | |
| farzinf | Thursday 28th of December 2006 09:05:29 AM |
| - well i know in azeri we say it to. not only as the realization \"heee\" but also as meaning \"yes\" (the less polite form). \"hen, geldim\" = \"yea, i came\". \"hen\" i think was used during the ottoman days as well. can anyone confirm whether or not this is the case? | |
| Osman | Thursday 28th of December 2006 03:13:02 PM |
| - hmm.. no idea bout \'hen\' but you are right about \'heeee\'. It is less polite form for \'evet\' but in eastern parts of Turkey, it is not that different from \'evet\' :) You can use both but of course \'evet\' is better. \'hıhı\' is also used when assuring something said by someone. \'ı\' is pronunced just like \'schwa\' sound. I guess it is \'reverse\' e in Azeri, no? | |
| farzinf | Friday 29th of December 2006 05:16:19 AM |
| - You are right about the schwa. whenever we use the \"ə\" sound you guys use the \"e\" (which is almost the same sound) that\'s why i was a little thrown off track when you wrote it as \"hıı\" | |
| farzinf | Friday 29th of December 2006 05:18:36 AM |
| - no i dont think \"ı\" and \"ə\" are close :S | |
| Osman | Friday 29th of December 2006 06:23:22 AM |
| - [quote][i]Originally posted by farzinf[/i] no i dont think \\\"ı\\\" and \\\"ə\\\" are close :S[/quote] oh.. i thought they were almost same. I guess you have \'e\' letter, right? How do you pronunce it then? hmm.. Maybe i should check for IPA. | |
| farzinf | Friday 29th of December 2006 07:16:12 AM |
| - the azeri \"ə\" is like \"a\" in animation. In azeri, whenever \"ə\" is used \"e\" is used in turkish (or at least in every case Ive seen) mən/sən - ben/sen əl - el elə/belə - öyle/böyle by the way, just to confirm, we also use the \"ı\" PS, dont worry about it Osman, i only knew spoken azeri just until a a acouple of months ago. and I\'ve only started learning istanbul turkish recently, it took me a while to get use to the whole \"c\" as \"j\" thing. | |
| Osman | Saturday 30th of December 2006 01:30:15 AM |
| - I think an Azeri who is learning Istanbul Turkish should face the same difficulties as Southeastern Turkey people (generally Kurdish people) face when they are learning Istanbul dialect. Here in Diyarbakır, we pronunce elə and belə as in Azeri. I am sure there are more examples than this. If i have chance and enough time one day, Azeri is in my \'must-to-learn\' list :) I think i have already known a bit Azeri anyway! :) | |
| MoonlitShadows | Tuesday 02nd of January 2007 01:27:22 PM |
| Is it too late to get something translated? - I like this song, and I thought that it would be nice to send some of the lyrics to a friend, but in Turkish. Thanks in advance!!!!! So close no matter how far Couldn\'t be much more from the heart Forever trusting who we are And nothing else matters Never opened myself this way Life is ours, we live it our way All these words I don\'t just say And nothing else matters Trust I seek and I find in you Every day for us something new Open mind for a different view And nothing else matters | |
| farzinf | Wednesday 03rd of January 2007 12:41:33 PM |
| - hi MoonlitShadows, I am actually in the process of learning turkish so although my translation may not be the best I have decided to write it anyway for you and for my own practise. perhaps some one else will correct my mistakes and provide a more accurate translation. wow, poems are 10 times harder to translate. anyhow here\'s my attempt: So close, no matter how far Çok yakın, uzaklık fark etmeyen Couldn\'t be much more from the heart Yüreke daha yakınlaşmaz Forever trusting who we are Ebediyen olmamız güveniyor And nothing else matters Ve başka bir şey fark etmiyor **** Never opened myself this way Heç zaman kendimi boyle açmamişim Life is ours, we live it our way Hayat bizim(dir), bizim gibisi sürıyoruz All these words I don\'t just say Hepsi bu kelemeler ancak demiyorum And nothing else matters Ve başka bir şey fark etmiyor *** Trust, I seek and I find in you Tröst, senin içinde buliyorum Every day for us something new her gün bize yeni bir şey Open mind for a different view fikiri aç değişik bir görüntüleme And nothing else matters Ve başka bir şey fark etmiyor | |
| farzinf | Wednesday 03rd of January 2007 01:04:35 PM |
| - My turkish friend provided a better translation. here you are: çok yakın, ne kadar uzak olduğu onemsiz, yurekten daha fazla (uzak) olamazdı ebediyyen guvenmek kim olduğumuza ve başka bisey onemsiz kendimi bu şekilde hiç açmamiştim hayat bizim ve bildiğimiz gibi yasariz tum bu sozleri sadece soylemiyorum ve başka herşey onemsiz guven, arıyorum ve sende buldum hergun bizim için birşeyler yeni başka goruşlere açık fikirli ve başka herşey onemsiz *** by the way nice metallica song :D | |
| MoonlitShadows | Thursday 04th of January 2007 10:44:22 PM |
| - Farzinf, thank you very much for the translation(s). I appreciate it. And thank you for noticing that it\'s a MetallicA song. Even though it\'s from my second least favorite album, it\'s a good song, and I think it fits the situation I\'m in. Thanks again!!!!!! | |
| Osman | Saturday 06th of January 2007 05:10:27 AM |
| - Good work Farzin! I was(am) busy with my site about languages.. This is why i can\'t appear much here around.. Selam | |
| farzinf | Sunday 14th of January 2007 01:06:47 AM |
| - hey don\'t mention it. lol, it wasn\'t really me anway :D | |
| Osman | Sunday 14th of January 2007 02:55:57 AM |
| - *rofl* :) | |
| MoonlitShadows | Tuesday 16th of January 2007 11:13:07 PM |
| - Here\'s something else I\'d like translated, please. Take me far away from me, safe within your heart Take me where I cannot fall apart Keep me close, don\'t let me go, teach me what I need to know Take the time and show me once again, what I\'m missing Thanks!!!!!! | |
| farzinf | Monday 22nd of January 2007 08:38:19 PM |
| - i mentioned it was my turkish friend osman lol Here\'s something else I\'d like translated, please. bu başka birsey dir ki çovermek istiyorum, lutfen. Take me far away from me, safe within your heart uzak apar kendimden, yürekinde emin Take me where I cannot fall apart bir yere apar ki kırılamıyabılım Keep me close, don\'t let me go, teach me what I need to know beni yakın sakla, bırakma, bılmelıyımler öğret Take the time and show me once again, what I\'m missing dikkatlice bana bir daha neyi kacirdigimi anlat this is my attempt. the last line i had help with | |
| MoonlitShadows | Monday 22nd of January 2007 09:59:27 PM |
| - Thank you very much. :) Your help and translations are greatly appreciated. | |
| Osman | Monday 22nd of January 2007 11:06:38 PM |
| - i know Farzin :D let me try ;) Take me far away from me, safe within your heart beni kendimden uzaklaştır, kalbinin içinde güvende Take me where I cannot fall apart Ayrı düşmeyeceğim(iz) bir yere.. Keep me close, don\'t let me go, teach me what I need to know Beni yakın tut, gitmeme izin verme, bana öğrenmem gerekeni öğret Take the time and show me once again, what I\'m missing Zamanı kullan ve neyi kaçırdığımı bana bir kez daha göster Well, i amd really bad at translation thing. But i hope this helps :) | |
| farzinf | Tuesday 23rd of January 2007 06:59:05 AM |
| - hey osman is it gramatically correct to say bilmeliyımler those (things) which i need to know | |
| MoonlitShadows | Wednesday 24th of January 2007 12:22:21 AM |
| - Osman, thank you, too, for helping me. :) I\'m really bad at languages, I think...or maybe I have to stop trying to learn the hard(er) ones... | |
| Osman | Wednesday 24th of January 2007 01:57:40 AM |
| - If you set your goals clear, you can learn any language Moonlit ;) hopefully! Farzin.. it should be; bilmem gereken şeyler or bilmem gerekenler ;) | |
| MoonlitShadows | Wednesday 24th of January 2007 11:26:37 PM |
| - Well, I\'ll work on it. Maybe someday I\'ll be able to come on here and help translate things instead of asking for them. :D | |
| Osman | Thursday 25th of January 2007 04:13:27 AM |
| - That would be great!! :) | |
| MoonlitShadows | Thursday 25th of January 2007 11:05:06 PM |
| - My new year\'s resolution was to learn a new language. :) | |
| farzinf | Friday 26th of January 2007 12:42:30 AM |
| - word, yea i think its great that your considering learning tukish. i know sometimes it may seem like an uphill battle but you should never give up. when you give up you not only stop learning, but you forget what you\'ve already learnt. I use to speak Azeri (a language similar to turkish, sometimes considered a dialect) very well but over the many years in an english speaking country ive come to forget it. now im on a mission to relearn (remember) it. take it easy. peace | |
| MoonlitShadows | Friday 26th of January 2007 11:11:34 PM |
| - Farzinf, you made some good points. :) Best of luck in relearning/remembering Azeri. :) | |
| farzinf | Saturday 17th of February 2007 05:29:27 AM |

| - I hope I\'m not asking too many questions but I\'m pretty crazy about learning Turkish at the moment. preparing for a future trip ;) . Anyhow, I was wondering if there was a phrase equivalent to the english phrase, [b]\"Close, but no cigar\"/\"Nice try, but no cigar\"[/b]. Which, if you didn\'t know, means to try at something and end up making a fairly good attempt but fall short of the desired goal. The phrase is believed to come from an amusement park stall that gave out cigars when contestants won. | |

| - Merhaba Farzin :) Let\'s try! [quote] Please Correct My Spelling/Grammar Errors :D Türkce yazmalarımın hataları lütfen düzelt :D[/quote] In this case, you could say: Türkçe yazma hatalarımı lütfen düzeltin. This would make more sense but actually not correct. In Turkish we would say: Lütfen heceleme ve dilbilgisi hatalarımı düzeltin ;) If you use DÜZELTİN, it is better. If you say DÜZELT, it means CORRECT! LOL, kind of rude but i know you didn\'t mean to be so here :) [quote]Benim en seven Metallica\'nın şarkısı No Leaf Clover dir. hepsi basmıyacagım burada ama çok seven parçanım bu dur:[/quote] (Benim)en sevdiğim Metallica şarkısı No Leaf Clover\'dır. Hepsini buraYA or buraDA yollamayacağım ama en çok sevdiğim parça budur: [quote][b]\\\"Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel, Was just a freight train coming your way,\\\"[/b] So just to rephrase for those who didn\'t quite understand it, the soothing light which at first appears to be harmless soothıng light at the end of \\\"your tunnel\\\" later reveals itself as a freight train \\\"coming your way\\\". [/quote] Did i tell you that my english sucked? I say now. It sucks :D Sorry i really didn\'t get the song! I don\'t listen to Metallica too. IF i had listened, i think i could help easily. [quote]This is my attempt at a Turkish translation, please correct my mistakes: Benim Türkçeye çevirmeyı kalkışmam bu dur:[/quote] We write BUDUR together. It is a good try. People would understand what you mean but let me tell the proper version of it. Bu Türkçe bir çeviri denememdir, lütfen yanlışlarımı düzeltin. In daily language, we don\'t really use BENİM, SENİN etc in sentences. I mean, not often. When you want to stress on them, it is better to use them at such times. See? [quote]Did I translate it correctly? Doğru mu çevirdim?[/quote] Evet doğru çevirdin :) or Doğru çevirdim mi? [quote]Thanks in advanced. çok sağolun.[/quote] Exactly! Good work Farzin! I will check those phrases out and tell you what i have found. We will see! Feel free to ask some more when you need. | |

| - dam i would have thought maybe my translation would have helped you understand. I need alot my practice then i first thought. I\'ll try and rephrase, maybe it\'ll help you understand. There is a \"soothing light\" (yatıştırıcı ışık) at the end of your tunnel (galerin sonında). But it later reveals itself ( açığa çıkarmak) as a \"freight train\" (yük katarı ) coming your way (tarafına gelen) I hope this helps. Thanks again İnşallah bu yardım eder. Tekrar sağolun. | |

| Osman | Tuesday 20th of March 2007 12:57:06 AM |

I think it is mainly because me and my husband (and most of the friends too) speak English, so I don\'t need to force myself very hard... If I couldn\'t communicate with them in any other language, I surely would be forced to learn it much quicker... Or maybe simply because I am an idiot :D Well in fact, I know enough to piss them off like I did last night after the match, by saying ena, dio, tria, tesera.. stin Athinaaaa :) (one, two, three, four.. in Athens :P) | |

| - hey hati, osman, I\'ve got a question... I was wondering about two things. First thing is it splelt \"Azericen\" (Azeri\'s - ownership) or \"Azericenin\". And since in Turkish you can say Konuş[b]alım[/b] I\'m assuming you can also say Konuş[b]malım[/b]. for example: Azericen Türkceye yakın olmağına daha konuşmalım. | |
| hati | Wednesday 28th of March 2007 09:25:46 PM |
| - [quote][i]Originally posted by farzinf[/i] Azericen Türkceye yakın olmağına daha konuşmalım.[/quote] What did you mean by this? Azerice means Azeri language, Azericen means they way you are speaking Azeri (i.e., your Azeri) Azeri is the person from Azerbaijan. Azericenin means of Azeri language. Konuşalim means let\'s speak. There is no such a phrase as konuşmalım :) | |
| farzinf | Wednesday 28th of March 2007 10:56:19 PM |
| - Belke dörğüsü budur... \"Azericenin Türkceye yakın olmağına daha konuşmayız.\" \"Let\'s no longer speak of The Azerbaijani language\'s closeness to Turkish\" Demek isterdim. dörğü mü yazdım? | |
| zappie | Thursday 29th of March 2007 12:47:03 AM |
| - Doğru iki seçenek: Azerice\'nin Türkçe\'ye yakınlığı bahsini kapatalım artık. Azerice\'nin Türkçe\'ye yakınlığından konuşmayalım artık. | |
| farzinf | Thursday 29th of March 2007 01:54:04 AM |
| - oooo ya! makes sense now. \"yakınlığın\" is better then \"yakın olmağın\". and \"dan\" (away) should be used rather then \"a\" (towards) since this two reverse in many cases when translating from english. For example \"What does it block you [b]from[/b]\" \"Ne[b]ye[/b] seni bloke ediyor\" Is this correct? ^ oh and one other thing. \"Konuşmalıyım\" can mean both \"I need to speak\" and \"My need to speak\", right? | |
| Osman | Friday 30th of March 2007 10:20:07 AM |
| - Seni neden bloke ediyor. (neden doesn\'t mean WHY here, it means \'from what\') -den > from Konuşmalıyım > I need to speak or I should speak / I have to speak it doesn\'t mean \'my need to speak\' ;) | |
| farzinf | Friday 30th of March 2007 04:00:08 PM |
| - o thanks osman so how would i say \'my need to speak\' | |
| Osman | Saturday 31st of March 2007 12:46:34 AM |
| - konuşma ihtiyacım :) (my need of speaking) | |
| farzinf | Saturday 31st of March 2007 01:26:37 AM |
| - ahh makes sense. yea I thought since for example öğretmen[b]im[/b] means both my teacher and I AM a teacher perhaps Konuşmalı[b]yım[/b] worked the same way. any how it\'s probably because it\'s not a noun I\'m assuming. thanks osman. | |
| Osman | Saturday 31st of March 2007 09:24:20 PM |

I\'m not sure about \"zaten\" and \"neyse\" though... EDIT: There\'s more :D Here\'s what\'s supposed to be my reply... \"Adım Mehmet, ve evet, biliyorum biri sen ingilizce yazdım, daha o anlamıyorum... =) neyse, sonra!\" \"My name is Mohamed, and yes, I know that you wrote in English, still I didn\'t understand it... Anyhow, later!\" | |

| Osman | Sunday 22nd of April 2007 12:31:37 AM |

| - Merhaba herkes. :D Başka sorum var.... I\'ve made up this \"Script\" in my head to practice, I do that a lot, you\'ll see stranger things later on, I just wanted to check how good it is. :) \"Sus oğul, hiçbir kelime söyleyun yok, anlıyorun? Şimdi gidiyorun, seni görmek artık istiyorum, beni anlıyorun? ARTIK...\" It\'s supposed to be... \"Shut up boy, don\'t say a word, do you understand? Now go, I don\'t wanna see you any more, do you understand me? ANYMORE...\" | |
| FaWzY | Monday 30th of April 2007 12:10:56 AM |
| - Başka istekim... \"sende yazmadın epeydir.\" Does it mean \"you writing is good\"?! | |
| zappie | Monday 30th of April 2007 01:40:29 PM |
| - Your first quote sounds like a grandma from Tokat - Amasya area advising to his son. An angry teenager would say: Konuşma oğlum. Tek kelime etme. Anladın mı? Şimdi bas git. Bir daha seni görmeyeyim. Anladın mı beni? Tamam mı? The negative imperative is constructed by adding -ma/me suffix to the verb stem. In the second quote \" de \" must be written separately. It means \" you haven\'t written for a long time either \" İyi çalışmalar | |

| Cyprus-Related Words/Phrases - Hi. This is my first post on Phrasebase and I would kindly ask for the following phrases to be translated: \"One state, two people: Cyprus; the island for all seasons\" \"Cyprus belongs to all its people; Greek and Turkish, Christian and Muslim\". I would thoroughly appreciate a speedy response, if possible. Thanks so much (ne mutlu KIBRISLI diyene :D). | |
| zappie | Sunday 06th of May 2007 04:31:41 AM |
| - \"Bir devlet, iki millet: Kıbrıs; bütün mevsimlerin adası\" \"Kıbrıs üzerinde yaşayan tüm halklara aittir; Yunan, Türk, Hristiyan, Müslüman\" *ne mutlu kıbrıslıyım diyene \"to all its people\" translates to \"bütün halklarına\" but that doesnt sound well in a motto i translated as \"to all people living on it\" I can\'t relate people with seasons in your first quote but anyway it can be translated. | |
| FaWzY | Monday 04th of June 2007 10:13:36 PM |
| - Here\'s something I\'m not sure if I understood it well... \"biliyom, o yüzden yazıyom ya zaten.\" \"I know, I\'ve written it a hundred times already.\" Did I get it right? :D | |
| Osman | Tuesday 05th of June 2007 02:16:49 AM |
| - Fawzy, it is: \"I know, That\'s why i have written anyway!\" That\'s probably sad by a young Turkish boy or girl. :D Zappie, i think that would be just perfect if we add comma after \'Kıbrıs\', don\'t you think so? ;) \"Kıbrıs, üzerinde yaşayan tüm halklara aittir\" If we don\'t use comma, the meaning changes a little bit. Because we don\'t know what the subject is. :) | |
| FaWzY | Tuesday 05th of June 2007 03:46:00 AM |
| - lol, teşekkür ederim :D So I get this is some sort of a slang phrase?! The word that really puzzled me was \"yüzden\", what does it mean exactly? | |
| Osman | Wednesday 06th of June 2007 02:05:48 PM |
| - Sorry Fawzy, it should be; \"I know, that\'s why i am writing anyway!\" Both sentences are ok anyway but this one is better ;) It is \'Bu yüzden\' and it means \'so\'. Here, you can use it by saying \'That\'s why ....\' and the sentence goes on. That\'s easy ;) Bu yüzden okula gidiyorum. This is why i am going to school or That is why i am going to school or So, I am going to school All same. I think I am not wrong :p | |
| FaWzY | Wednesday 06th of June 2007 03:26:48 PM |
