Yes, this is a piece of cute wisdom! It´s helped me increase my awareness with the friend who´s just started reading this... (Now he´s gone back to his work).

Kimseyi kaybedilemez hakkınızmış gibi görmeyin.

Yüreğinize yakın tutun her insanı

çünkü olur ki uyanırsınız bir gün

ve bir elması yitirdiğinizi fark edersiniz

siz taş toplamakla fazla meşgulken

The idiom “To take somebody for granted” doesn’t have a direct Turkish equivalent. So after I went through a bit of research, I came up with “Birini kaybedilmez hakkıymış gibi görmek.”

"If you take something for granted, you don’t worry or think about it because you assume you will always have it. If you take someone for granted, you don’t show your appreciation to them."

# take someone for granted

to expect someone to always be there and do things for you even when you do not show that you are grateful “I shouted at my boss because I’m sick of being taken for granted.”

# take something for granted

to expect something always to happen or exist in a particular way, and to not think about any possible problems or difficulties. “Losing my job taught me never to take anything for granted.”

take it for granted (that): “You can’t take it for granted that they’ll behave themselves.”

That´s called advance-fee fraud:

Red words are incorrect, green ones are correct.

´senle´ is okay but ´seninle´ is better.

Yanlış: Dün gece senle konuşmak hoşlandım.

Doğru: Dün gece senle konuşmaktan hoşlandım.

Doğru: Dün gece senle konuşmak hoşuma gitti.

1. hâlâ: still

2. hala: paternal aunt

However, it´s not a mistake to write ´hala´ when it means still. Like most Turkish speakers, I never write ´hâlâ´ as it isn´t worth, spending the extra time to insert the letter â. It may be necessary to write ´hâlâ´ if writing ´hala´ would cause a confusion in terms of meaning. In the sentence above, however, it´s obvious that ´hala´ doesn´t mean aunt.

Discussing what açılım means is giving me just a little help to decide the best translation. Considering the political context in which the subject is discussed, I think that Kurdish initiative is a good translation for Kürt açılımı. This translation is already being used in the Turkish media:

"Recep Tayyip Erdoğan´s request for a meeting to discuss the government´s Kurdish initiative, announced by the Justice and Development Party (AK Party) government about two months ago and seeking to give more freedoms and cultural rights to the country´s Kurds."

I´m not saying anything.

It´s sometimes used to express disappointment.

"Onu bu sefer unutmayacağına dair bana söz verdiğin halde kitabı getirmeyi yine unuttun ya, ben sana artık bir şey demiyorum."

You forgot to bring the book again although you promised me not to forget it this time. I´m not saying anything to you anymore.

"I can´t believe that you forgot..." has a similar meaning and may sound more natural in English.

´bişi´ is used in spoken Turkish.

bi = bir (one)

şi = şey (thing)

bişi = bir şey (one thing, something, anything)

´bir şey´ is written separately.

This translation has made me smile.  It remindeds me of this:

This is a wonderful explanation! It was especially delightful for me to read the last sentence.

It doesn´t necessarily mean that I agree with the thoughts.

We´re now writing under the Turkish Class Forums / Practice Turkish and what an English expression means in Turkish isn´t meant to be discussed here, but it was interesting to learn that point. Thank you for the clear explanation.
