Merhaba, Hazzel -san, thank you for the translation!Şaşırdım.  Belki siz Japon musunuz?!Bu adamı biliyorum. Ufuk Özkan değil mi?Kelime hazinesi artırmak için Aileler Yarışıyor´u izleyip sorular ve cevapları yazıyorum .Şimdi uzun bir soru-cevap listesi sahibim.Mesela, kışı güzel kılan bir şey:  kestane, kar, kartopu oynamak, sahlep/boza, kayak yapmak, kardan adam yapmak..Making snowman?  It was an unexpected answer!And I learned that chestnuts are the most popular things that Turkish cherish in winter.Very interesting.  In Japan they may be baked sweet potatoes(yaki-imo).You may encounter yaki-imo vedors on the street like this:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Jo7EZsWMIsBy the way, Seninle bir dakika is one of the two Turkish songs I can sing.The other is Benimle Oynar mısın?

Özür dilerim.Sorry for not having responded to the kind messages.I noticed that my Turkish in the video had so many mistakes that I was afraid of coming back to this forum.  Even now my face is blushing......................................Kelowna-sanThank you again for the message.Unfortunately I can´t speak Turkish. I fully realize I´m lacking in vocabulary and accuracy in grammar, and exercise. All the Turkish I know is the one that can be found in the textbook for beginners.I can´t understand a "living" Turkish spoken and written by native speakers.Türçe beklediğimden daha zor.As for the "speech" in the video, I carried a copy of the script that I had corrected in this forum, and tried to memorize it when I took a walk around (walking is good for health, they say, so I walk as often as I can) .  Of course I would walk singing the song, too, ignoring the passengers-by.......................................................................Hazzel-sanThank your again for the message.Yaşadığım şehirde (Tokyo yakınında yaşıyorum) kar çok yağmaz.If it snows 5 cm deep, we are doomed; transportions are halted, passengers-by slip on the pavement... I must clear snow of the road in front of my house, ending up with back pain.I watched Aileler Yarışıyor today, too.A talkative and cheerful "amca" seemed to steal the show.................................................................Eylul W-sanTeşekkür ederim.I don´t know how to respond to the phrase.I wonder if there is a pair of fixed expressions like Hoş geldin. >> Hoş bulduk.Eline sağlık. >> Afiyet olsun.Başın sağ olsun. >> Dostlar sağ olsun. .....................................................................Donekeyoaty-san Thank you for your message with the points!I respect your aspirations.   I was looking for a Turkish proverb for us Turkish learners.Here is one: Çalışmakla her iş biter.
