I have looked at the lesson, but not sure how to answer the questions. Have i to translate the turkish questions into english?

Merhaba Christine,

There is no translation and it is likely there won´t be any at all for the following weeks.

What you do is, you go to this page, then click on a homework and answer the questions there. There should be button to enter your answer. For the first week we have these :
Homework 1: Ali and Ayşe
Homework 2: Complete Sentences
Homework 3: Add missing suffixes and words

On Homework 1, first you read a short dialog between the two and then answer the questions according the dialog.

Homework 2 is already pretty straightforward.

On Homework 3 you add a suffix after words with an underscore, like okul_ and put a word when there are three dots.

Erdinç,
2. ......... çok gazete ......... musunuz?
Why did you say ´gazete´ here and not gazeteyi ?
İ mean why didnt we put it in accusitive case
Because its a general thing happening everyday,not a specific gazete we are talking about?

Quoting CANLI:

Because its a general thing happening everyday,not a specific gazete we are talking about?



This is correct. Smillarly we would say "kitap okumak", müzik dinlemek", "spor yapmak".

The person who asks doesn´t say anything about a specific newspaper. If they were talking about a specific newspaper as object (like the newspaper on the table) or publisher (like The Times newspaper) then they would use accusatives.

And the person who answers ?
Assuming i asked you,
Do you read newspapers ?

And you actually read the Times every day ´specific paper´most people read specific newspaper everyday

So you answer me,
Yes,i read THE newspaper everyday.
Or you would answer me
Yes,i read newspaper everyday. ?

İ mean in real not just in homework

Well, you didn´t ask me what newspaper I read so I wouldn´t mention it in my answer. I would think that you are more interested whether or not I read newspapers. Maybe you want to know if I follow the news.

This sounds to me like asking somebody if the person listens a lot of music or smokes a lot.
