Hello, 


 


Could you please help me with these questions.


 


1- "tebessümleriyle büyüten babam"


ًWhat / Whom does the i refer to ?


 


 


 


 2-" Bazen o yıkılan evimizi ziyaret ediyorum, ama o güzelliklerden,sadece bahçe


ortasında kalakalmış boynu büyük fıdanı görüyorum"



What does that mean ?


 


   


3- "Bazen yüzüne bakarak saçımı taradığım aynamızı bulamıyorum"


Who´s face is the speaker talking about?


 


 


4-"hani baba senin hediye ettiğin resimli kitap vardı ya işte onu da bulamıyorum"


What does that mean? and what does işte mean in general.


 


 5- "sıcak nuruyla kalbını isitan annem ve babamı bulamıyorum"


I can´t understand the meaning of the sentence, again who´s heart is the speaker talking about?


6- 


"Ben o kerpiçleri duvarların yüzüne yansıyan hayatımı görüyorum"


to me that means, "..that reflects to the wall´s face.." which doesn´t make sense, what´s the correct translation?


 


7-  


"Arka bağdaki ağaçların yaprakları sararmış yere düşünyordu"


is "sararmis" a verb ? what does the sentence mean.


 


8- 


"o evin içi dünyanün bütün mutluğuyla doluydu"


To me that means something like "That house was filled all the happiness in the world", but why isn´t "doluydu" in the passive form ? I mean it´s active yet it is active yet has a passive meaning.


 


-9


"Annem ise ilkokul öğretmeniydi"


What does ise mean generally and in that context, sounds like "also" to me. 


 


 


10-


"ben de benim için kitaptır diye sayfaların arasındaki resmleri aramaya başladım"


 What does that mean, does it mean "As the owner of the book" ?or since the book is mine?


 


Thank you for your time

What does that mean ?

 

Sometimes I visit our demolished house. But the only thing I see of those beauties is a tall sapling which has been left in the middle of the garden.

I think  -  and I am not sure  -  it is not anyone´s face but the surface of the mirror that they are talking about.

 

´Sometimes I cannot find our mirror which I used to look at when combing my hair.´

´You know, father, there was an illustrated book that you gave me as a gift and as you see I cannot find that either.´

 

But there is much more to that mysterious işte  -  a native speaker can explain that better.

I can´t understand the meaning of the sentence, again who´s heart is the speaker talking about?

Grammatically it can refer only to the second or the third person: your heart, their own heart of the heart of a third part mentioned earlier.

 

I guess it is SG2 used in a generalized meaning: ´my mother and father who filled people´s hearts with deep contentment with their warm light´. But I am not sure.

Again, I think it is not ´face´ but ´surface´.

 

´I can see my life reflected on those brick walls.´

"Arka bağdaki ağaçların yaprakları sararmış yere düşünyordu"


is "sararmis" a verb ? what does the sentence mean.

 

I think it is düşüyordu.

 

´The leaves of the trees in the rear of the garden were falling down on the ground which had turned yellow

 

sararmış is a participle, i.e. a verb yes.

dolu is an adjective. doluydu ´it was full´, modified with ile > full of happiness.

I would say ´because the book was for me´.
