Have just read Ayşe and it is good. I just wanted to ask is Saat çaladı= alarm clock
Thanks in advance Jo-Anne

Merhaba,
I think "Saat çaldı" means "the clock rang",
if you want to say "a clock rang" you should say "bir saat çaldı",
Ama hem de emin değlim someone has to check my reply too to correct it if it's wrong

Greetings,

Yes, It is correct. "Çalmak" is an interesting verb. Its first meaning is "to steal, to rob". Its second meaning is "to ring" like in "alarm çaldı, zil çaldı (the bell rang), telefon çaldı, saat çaldı."

-dı in 'çaldı' is the simple past tense suffix. The whole story Ayşe was written about simple past tense. Bye.
