I don´t see a problem with asking in a forum. Let me know if there is though and I´ll make sure I use a dictionary next time.

Also I think there´s nothing wrong with asking other people about it.

I think that there is no reason to begin a flame war.

This forum is for conversation and for exchange of ideas.

If anybody don´t want to participate could be remain silent. Nobady is forced to comment in a topic or to answer to a question. All members are equal and we have to respect them. All questions are worth to be answered no matter their answer is easy or prophane. If we want we could answer the question and if possible we quide the person who asks to find an answer by himself in the future without insults.

I don´t see anything wrong with the question. But I see Harpoon´s point too. If it were me, I would look it up in a dictionary and if something still doesn´t make sense, I would post a specific question about it.

 

Anyways, I find this Web Site, tatoeba, helpful. You can search words and you will see your words used in sentences. Here is an example with toprak: http://tatoeba.org/eng/sentences/search?query=toprak&from=tur&to=eng

You didnot insult anybody. The comment was not for you but for the answer which you received.

For Gods sake, no one will force you doing that. If you dont want you, can stay silent and let me (believe it its my pleasure) and maybe some others to do this. But there is no reason to underestimate anybody. So I please you not to prolong this anymore.

I think it doesnt consern you. Maybe you couldnt understand that, but i was silent. That´s why i asked the dictionary. You are new in here and its not your business to teach me what can i do or not... As you did in here, i told my opinion on the top also. You can like or not, its your choice. But, do not treat like lawyer...

I only ask questions at the forum if I need some more explanation. There are plenty dictionaries online.

Etimologically , it comes from the old verb "topur-mak" which means "getting dried up and becoming dust "  

 

This old verb root took the " -Ik " suffix and became a noun which means "soil/ground/earth/country" today.

 

topur + Ik ---> Toprak 

 

As you see, the later vowel "u" was dropped and the suffix "ak" added onto it.
