Hello! I seem unable to translate the sentence "You forced us to eat" correctly. I have two alternatives, possibly none of them are correct:

1. Bizi yemeye zorladınız.
2. Yememize zorladınız.

(Of course, one could also use the alternative verb "mecbur etmek": is there some slight difference in meaning then?)

I have gotten very good replies on the "iç cümle"-issue here before! Thanks for those!

I think there´s a technical problem, I cannot see the rest of your message. I don´t see the two versions you proposed. I would say this sentence in turkish as:

You forced us to eat.

Bizi yemeye zorladın.

Thank you very much! It seems that one of my alternatives turned out right after all!

My original post was this -- hope this shows:

What are your alternatives?

I would have said

yemek yememize zorladın.

OK ... put us out of our misery.  What are your alternatives?

I would say

Yemek yememizi zorladın

 His/her two alternatives were:

1. Bizi yemeye zorladınız.
2. Yememize zorladınız.

Couldn´t you see them??

Bizi yemeğe (siz/sen) zorladın(ız-if you use siz). 

Depending on the contex, if you want to stress that "you forced", then you have to use sen/siz, otherwise no need.

Be careful here. With "-Ğ-" it means you use the noun and with "-Y-" you use infinitive form of "yemek".

yemeğe zorladın = you forced (us) to the meal

yemeye zorladın = you forced (us) to eat

"yememizi zorladın" doesn´t sound good. More or less it can be translated as "you forced our eating".
