Seticio, I think you meant "İyi dost kara günde belli olur". This means "You will see who is a good friend at bad times".

You might have confused it with "Kusursuz dost arayan dostsuz kalır". And this means "One who seeks a perfect friend will end up having no friends".

I am sure you know what these mean, but I wanted to make it more understandable for the people who don't know Turkish that well

kusursuz demek istemiş

I know these two adverbs as well. I did'n confused it.
Hovewer, I never translated it into english, so thank u very much

Oh sorry, Admin u right... I mixed two proverbs

Hello everyone,

I'm a new member and found this site while searching for "Turkish Lessons" on the Internet. First of all, to the people behind admin: great job! The Turkish lessons here are much easier to follow than some others I've found on the Net!

The reason I'm learning Turkish is because I have a dream of living there someday. Well, as all of you have discussed under this topic here, Turkey is beautiful and those who visit the country will usually fall in love with it...which includes me.

I'm from Malaysia and visited Turkey in March 2005. The tour that I was on - Seven Churches and Cappadocia - took me from Istanbul, to Troas, to Izmir, then on to Konya and Cappadocia and back to Istanbul via Ankara.

I absolutely loved it and yeah, although tourists are only shown the best parts of a country (which tour operator will show its visitors the "ugly" side?), I believe that Turkey will be a good place to live in.

As mentioned in this forum, I also noticed that there's a water problem in Istanbul. The hotel I lived in had a notice asking its guests to use water wisely. Also, unlike in Malaysia, the water isn't drinkable after boiling.

Ah well, every country has its good and bad side to it...and the best way to really discover all that is - I believe - by living there?!

welcome to turkey elizabeth
although u live in malaysia u can feel u live here..

Thank you dushkavesi, that's very nice of you.

it is your nice

maybe very soon I'll be living in Istanbul for 4-5 months!!!

Oh that's great. How will go there? For work or for some scholarship? If u don't mind I'm asking...

I would like to work in Turkey and stay there for some months to learn the language,
the only thing i found is to work as animateur in hotel........ Are there any other possibilities,
and where could i search for it ? Does someone know?
Actually i don’t know why everyone is talking about Turkey as a paradise........
So nice people? So friendly? I don’t think so....... It is there job to smile to tourists......
turks itself , as i saw them, are unreliable and really talk to much bla bla bla........ It is very hard to believe them, because they never take response for there words........ I’m not talking about all turks (!), but a lot of them are of that kind ((((((((
IMHO
