I have a list of words and wish to have their corresponding Turkish word. I am interested in having the mostly used words by speakers and media in Turkey. My aim is to see the integration of such English loanwords in the Turkish orthography.

Please give me the plural as well for nouns. For verbs conjugate them in the 2nd person singular (you).

Thanks for your help.

I'm still interested miss_ceyda and need help in this list (of about 100 words).

I have found some words in online Eng-Turk dictionaries but I cannot find plurals and verbs conjugated. I need the words mostly used by the Turks. The dictionary may have 3 different words for the same thing and I need to find the most popular one (used in the media and so on).

If you and others can contribute I will be very grateful
