Quoting caliptrix: Quoting Malerwinkel: 3. "Dün çalışmayı tamamladık." This was supposed to mean "We completed the work yesterday." |
Unfortunately, I don't know if there is aexpressin form in English which member of the sentence is more important than the others.
But in Turkish, there is!
For that reason, your sentence is still ok for both translations. Here is the difference:
Dün çalışmayı tamamladık << çalışma (the work/working) is important
Çalışmayı dün tamamladık << dün (yesterday) is important.
I hope you understand  |

Thanks for explaining how the word order affects emphasis here. I understand, but will have to practice to get it down.
You mentioned not knowing about it works in English. Let me just say this about time elements:
In English the time element generally comes either at the beginning or the end of a sentence:
- Yesterday we completed the work.
OR:
- We completed the work yesterday.
Both are basically neutral. Any emphasis would be indicated by stressing with the voice:
- YESTERDAY we finished the work.
OR:
- We finished the work YESTERDAY.

I need to go back and review the uses of the -mış form (and a lot more besides that).
Is the 'şimdide' here spellt together as one word? Does it convey the English present continuous here? Or is there something else going on here?

Here, "şimdi de" is like "....(I did this and that and bla bla), and now.." -> you are talking about the chain of actions. And you say, for example "and now I am going...":"şimdi de gidiyorum"
de is not together. de could be together only when it means "in/inside/within/at/on" preposition as place/time/date.
