why not just help them ?????

with their english or turkish..

as you may know there may be different several ways of saying the same sentence  depending on the person´s education level but in the end it will give you and idea but will not change the whole meaning at all.

so it is nice to exchange views and different translation methods both in turkish and english...

let´s just give all what we can without hurting anyone´s feelings as some people may easil get hurt ..

I know this is an old thread but it explains some of the things that have been annoying me recently. If you are a new member to Turkish Class this should be compulsory reading. I think it may have escaped the notice of some users who have joined in the past few months.

Native Turkish speakers are not changing the words just to make it "sound better" when they correct someone. Don´t forget they are native speakers, have grown up exposed to family and friends  and other native Türkish speakers, learned it in school, and fromTV, Radio and life in Turkey.

Also one has to remember that while Turkish is a phoenetical language, it also can´t always be translated to/from English verbatim. So when they do suggest a different way of saying or writing, its because that way is how to "think" in Turkish of how to say or write it, as sentence structure is different than in English. Just a thought.

Please correct my English when i do a mistake and trust me completely when i correct your mistakes. There is no reason to get offended.Actually we should be happy. Being corrected can upset some people but learning the language better should always come first.

Eventhough i get very high results from English tests, I still don´t trust my English. I think too much Turkish and my grammer is not brilliant. I accept this and still want to do my best.

Hopefully,  this will be helpful For Me to improve their English - we are here to help each other.

Translation

hello, im new here and i dont know where i should or how to post any thing. i need a translation of something, how can i say "good morning my angel, have a nice day, keep smiling, youre beautiful and dont stop thinking of me" , "im sorry if sometimes i seem mean or i hurt you, its just me and my moods! try to understand my weirdness" in turkish?

 Günaydın benim meleğim. Güzel bir gün geçir, gülmeye devam et, çok güzelsin .Beni düşünmeyi bırakma. Bazen kötü davranıyor gibi görünsem de ya da seni incitsem de ben ve ruh halim böyle işte. Tuhaflığımı anlamaya çalış.

Can someone please translate "do your friends know you talk to me?" and "do they know what i look like?" THANKS
