When something (like criticism, teasing, unkind words etc.) doesn´t affect the person it is aimed at, it is like "water dripping off a duck´s back".

I knew I´d already started a thread .

It would be great if anyone had examples of Turkish idioms.  Sometimes similar to English ones, sometimes not.

Turkish is an idiom-rich language. As an example I opened göz (eye) in my dictionary and here´s what I come up with:

gözü açık gitmek (lit. to pass away with his eyes open) = to die disappointed

göz gözü görmez (lit. your eyes cannot see the other´s eyes) = pitch dark

gözü yollarda kalmak (lit. his eyes remins on roads) = to have been waiting for a long time for someone/something

..-de gözü olmak (lit. to have an eye on something) = to desire something/somebody strongly

etc.

We have this in English too. (also to watch something/someone, for whatever reason eg warn someone "I´ve got my eye on you!" or "I´ll be keeping an eye on you!")

komşunun tavuğu komşuya kaz görünür (Neighbour´s chicken seems to the other neighbours as a goose) = Grass is always greener on the other side of the fence

It is not exactly the same I think.

If we say "Benim bu evde gözüm var", then it means you want this house, you want to buy/rent it. I think in this case you don´t say "I have an eye on this house", do you?

  An example:  If I came into a lot of money, I might say:

"Great! I´ve had my eye on a house in xxxx Avenue for ages, now I can buy it."

or

"I´ve got my eye on a dress in River Island and I´m going to buy it when I get paid."

To "have an eye on"  something may mean one is considering obtaining it or trying to obtain it.

"I´ve got my eye on a house in  x x x x , if the price drops/if the price is right, I may consider putting in an offer."

Si++  said:

"-de gözü olmak (lit. to have an eye on something) = to desire something/somebody strongly"

This is what I based my original comment on, but there was no context given.

Keep an eye on something = Göz kulak olmak (lit. be eyes and ears of it or have your eyes and ears on it)

OK but I have given 2 translations (literal one and the meaning in usage)

Thank you.    Please don´t think I was criticising you, I wasn´t.  I was showing dilliduduk where I got my inspiration from for my examples.
