Hello, I am a beginner and I have never used this forum before, so please excuse me if I don´t comply with the requirements of posting a topic {#lang_emotions_rolleyes}. I have a question. In Turkish we say "Babam ıyı" and " İyı babam". The first means my good father, while the second my father is good. Am I right? {#lang_emotions_confused}

No it is just the reverse!

"Babam iyi" means "my father is good" while i"yi babam" means "my good father".
