First TURQuazman, you have posted something and you dont want Turks not to respond. Do you have any right to choose who will respond your post? Second, what you posted is provocative and somebody has already been provocated and you started an argument. Good work !!

As to Alpha, why did you take it upon yourself? Are you sure TURQuazman has told it to you? And you replied him in bad language. Good work !!

If you have personal problems and want to argue, please do it with private messages or dont do it at all. Nobody has to read your personal arguments.

Please read forum rules one more time.

Dear members,

If you go on arguing with each other in this way, I ll have to delete the topic or a few one's membership. Is it so hard to debate kindly?

Title of the topic is Turkish Army but all I can see is that some members insult each other, nothing related with topic. Please, try to behave each other kinder and not to talk irrelevant to topic.Thats all for now.

Regards.

askere 21 mayısta gidiyorum.

My love, I understand your situation, I had to pay some debts on monday, thats why I told you so often. Please forgive me. I have not paid Internet connection cost for 3 months. The deadline for payment was monday and my family does not know anything about it.

I borrowed 150 ytl from Erhan. Because I dont work, everything gets worse and worse. Erhan will go to Marmaris, he reminds me so often. Shortly, he wants me to pay back.

I am sorry I am helpless, my love. I repeat always same matter. I am about to join into army, I have nothing in my life except helplessness, distress. I cant afford even drinking alcohol. I got bored here. You should understand me, my love

Of course it is possible to name more than 3 people such as Slavica whose uploads are great. These 3 were the first people whose names I could remember then.

Thank you for reminding. Somebody has written that there were 103 pictures waiting for being approved but most of them have to be deleted. You only think that there are 103 pictures and mods are sleeping.

There are lots of useless pictures among those 103 pictures and sometimes somebody uploads at least 20 or 30 useless pictures which are impossible to approve at the same time. That's why I make those kind of pictures wait and delete them together.

Before uploading a picture, please look at the pictures uploded by me, Admin or Elisa. Format of the pictures must be like the pictures uploaded by us. For instance, there must be at least a little information about the pictures. You must write the city where the picture belongs. Pictures have to be in large size. I deleted lots of small pictures.As I said, please look at the pictures uploaded by us. Otherwise, these kind of useless pictures will not approved by me and will wait there until being deleted.

Best Regards

Erdem...

I am agree with Anatolian. Osmaniye was a part of Adana before and declared to be a city in 1996. So, whereas Adana is a big and developed city, Osmaniye is a small and less developed city in comparison to Adana. However, Osmaniye is really a nice city and worth for living in.

I tried to translate as well. Feridun Duzagac is one of my favorite singer so I decided to translate this song. He has much more beautiful songs.I recommend you and all other members to listen "Nadas, Cumartesi, Buralardan Gitme,Ucak, İcimden Sehirler Geciyor, Bos Ders Sarkisi" etc.

My candle has been lighted at ten thirty ,-------------
Thirty five years has passed my beautiful spirit is a old child.
If I set it free, it tries to play game by escaping from school
But it fell down, was hurted, got tired should relax indeed, my heart.

Are u my birthday present?
Let’s suppose welcome
Will you like me so much then?
Or are you shed from my eyes like every dream by rapidly being broke

Come now, let’s know each other first , shortly it’s me, FD
But tell me “I love you “at great lenght.
How rarely I heard , how rarely I said
That’s why, tell me “ I love you” without stopping.

Poet was optimistic, did we reach half of way?
E, I am member of radiation generation, became exhausted very early like all of us.
First find a place and sit down but pay attention to my wound
For sure there is my laughter
First you will need to sweep of my tear.
To love is hard

Come now, let’s know each other first , shortly it’s me, FD

........

..... That’s why, tell me “ I love you” without stopping

The strings of my that Cura*
Its reeds are made of fire
Did Kezban's roses
in her hands open

Yenge** yenge Kezban yenge
did you become a chief
Yenge yenge Kezban yenge
Did you become a member

I drove a nail into ceiling
I sent a soldier to Van
The name of the girl is Havana
Did you become a chief

wicker basket in her arm
silver belt on her waist
she became a subject of gossip
Did you become a chief.


*Cura: a plucked string instrument
**yenge: sister-in-law,uncle's wife

Canım, umarım çok çalışmadın. Biliyorsun, ne zaman senden haber alamasam, bir kızla beraber olduğundan endişe ediyorum. Güvenliğinden de endişe ediyorum.
İş nasıldı? Ne yaptın? Beni aradın mı? Bir şey yazmadın veya başka bir şey yapmadın. Neredeyse pes ettim.

Bazen romantik bir şeyler yap benim için, hoş bir şeyler. Her zaman romantik olan benim.
En müthiş gününü anlat bana.
Arkadaşlarınla konuştum biraz. Biraz kendimi rahatsız hissettim. Sadece seninle konuşmayı seviyorum.

Şimdiden itibaren, bana karşı her zaman dürüst olmanı istiyorum. Her şeyi anlat bana. Ben sana karşı dürüstüm. Bunu biliyorsun.

En son konuştuğumuz zamanda neden geri dönmedin? Saat 7 dedin fakat gelmedin. İnsanların bana ahmak demelerinden yoruldum. Beni gerecek bir sürü şey söylüyorlar. Bu yüzden sana sürekli bir şeyler soruyorum ve sen kavgaya başladığımı düşÃ¼nüyorsun. İngiliz olmayı sevmiyorum çünkü insanlar İngiliz olduğum için diğer basit insanlarla aynı olduğumu düşÃ¼nüyorlar. Ve diyorlar ki ahmağım çünkü sen benim kalbimi kıracaksın. Eğer yapmadıysan bile yapacağını söylüyorlar. Bazen onlara inanıyorum, bazen görmezden geliyorum.

Seni bu yıl görmek istiyorum. Beni düşÃ¼nsen de düşÃ¼nmesen de, ben hep seninle olmama rağmen, bu yıl mümkün olduğunu sanmıyorum. Şimdi çok geç. Gelecek sene de çok uzak fakat seni o zaman görürüm. Benim için problem yok çünkü benim sadık ve vefalı bir kızım. Umarım sende aynısını yaparsın. Gelecek her ne getirirse, ağırbaşlılıkla kabul edeceğim. Ve kalbim kırılsa, düşsem bile, her gözyaşı ve üzüntümü saklayacağım. DüşÃ¼ncen nedir?

Note:: I had to translate this text rapidly. Because of having very little time. There may be some little mistakes which wont effect main theme of the text.

Hi guzelkiz. I recommend you to look at http://www.anadoluatesi.com. It is also in English. You can find some small videos, pictures,news and tour program there. There is a contact section in the website. Maybe you can ask how you can buy or from where you can buy their videos. Good luck !!!

Rica ederim John.

are you turkish cypriot?
- Sen Kıbrıslı Türk müsün?
i am on holiday
- Ben tatildeyim.
its my birthday.
- O benim dogumgünüm.

I have seen the term tanistirayim - is this used in introducing someone such as karim tanistirayim.
what is the difference between burada and iste? what is the correct word for here?

-I prefer "işte" to "burada". Whereas "işte" refers to attracting attention, "burada" refers to location. However, I can not say using "burada" is wrong. But I prefer "işte".

how do you say...it is difficult for me or i find it difficult

- "Benim için zor" or " Onu zor buldum. " I prefer the first one.

does gitmek istyirum mean i want to go - if so how would you say i would like to go to turkey

-gitmek istiyorum= I want to go
-Turkiye'ye gitmek istiyorum= I would like to go to Turkey.

how do you say how is your family? how is your father?

-First one= Ailen nasıl?
-Second= Baban nasıl?

does anlamadim and anliyorum both mean i dont understand -can either be used?
-Anlamadım= I did/could not understand
Anlıyorum= I see

how do you say nice to hear from you?
-Senden haber almak güzel= nice to hear from you

Not at all! John.

this one - bunu
that one - sunu
those - sunlari
these - bunlari

The tranlations above are coorect, you can use these pronouns and adjectives anywhere you want. It doesnt matter either restaurant or anywhere else.

i would like a little more...(bread)
- Biraz daha ekmek istiyorum
can i have a little more...
-Biraz daha fazla .......alabilir miyim?
can i have some more...
- Bir miktar daha fazla ......alabilir miyim?

To say do you have any bread is it ekmek var mi? Correct

Does benim karim mean this is my wife?
Does benim arkadasim mean this is my friend?
these are my friends
- Bunlar benim arkadaşlarım.
these are my granddaughters
Bunlar benim torunlarım. (kız)

Don't mention it! Dwyk. I am sorry I have just seen it. By the way, thanks Duskahvesi, it is very kind of you to reply for me

Although I agree with admin, we should wind up this kefen-coffin disagreement with a Nasreddin Hodja's joke. Let's read and smile.

WHERE TO GO
The people asked the Hodja,
Dear Hodja, tell us, where should we go in a funeral procession, in front, at the back, or at the side?
The Hodja answered, It doesn't matter where you go, as long as you don't go in the coffin.

Beauty is more than skin deep; skin is like wrapping paper... It comes is many colours. But the gift is what`s inside...


Güzellik derin/koyu tenden ötedir,ten ambalaj kağıdı gibidir. Birçok renkte olur. Fakat hediye içteki şeydir.

I agree with Seticio, some songs of Ogun Sanlisoy such as "Pencere" and "Saydim" are really great. I also recommend "Kurban", one of my favorite Rock groups I forgot to add to the list.Especially one of its songs,"Yosma" and the clip of Yosma is worth watching.

Senden de hiç bir şey kaçmıyor valla

The Love of Doomsday

He/she has written his/her love to the walls and papers
I surrounded and kept you to/for tomorrows.
I am waiting for my day to come
Finally it will come somehow.
This is eternal.
This is the love of doomsday.
My life will be ended by lover
This is eternal.
This is the love of doomsday
Either hold or throw
My heart adores and longs for you
Look at!
My shouting is endless.
Even though you are not here,
Your absence is not acceptable.

I hope you will find what you are looking for in these web addresses. Some of them may require free membership but I don’t know which ones. I checked if they are working or not. They are worth seeing.

Hi friends,

I respect all your own ideas. However, I still think that charisma is not something you possess naturally or you are born with.

Dr.Tony Alessandra indicates that "I'm convinced that, contrary to popular wisdom, charisma is not something you're born with, like having blue eyes or brown eyes. Instead, I think our personalities consist, let's say, of a series of containers, like cups or glasses. Some are nearly empty, some brimming, yet others are partially filled to varying degrees. Together, they constitute our potential charisma."

"So, it's not a single ingredient that makes a person charismatic, and, more important, charisma isn't based on I.Q., genetics, social position, wealth, or luck. Instead, it can be learned."

you can find the whole article written by Dr.Tony Alessandra in the web site below

http://www.selfgrowth.com/articles/Alessandra1.html

Thanks Dwyk;
You have written its meaning in 3 different ways
I prefer writing general meaning of charisma

“A special power which some people posses naturally which makes them able to influence other people and attract their admiration and attention. “

According to this definition, charisma might be believed to be a gift given by God. However, I don’t think charismatic people have their charisma as soon as they are born. In my opinion, Charisma is a kind of skill. Because it is impossible to be born as a charismatic, musician, artist or a leader, in contrast to this definition, charisma like the other skills is gained depending on what you experienced and worked on. When we are born, what we have is only a “Tabula Rasa”
““Tabula rasa (Latin: "scraped tablet", though often translated "blank slate") is the notion that individual human beings are born "blank" (with no built-in mental content), and that their identity is defined entirely by events after birth.””

As to people having charisma, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, founder of the Modern Turkish Republic, is the most charismatic person I have ever seen.

Not at all ! Elisa

"sana kapadokyadan sevgiler gönderiyorum"

I am sending you my love from Cappadocia.

baştan = from the beginning, from the start

I recommend you to look at
http://www.turkishmusic.org
although you are not allowed to download any song, this site contains allmost all Turkish songs classified according to the types such as folk, pop, tavern etc.

You will need Real player to listen this content.

onunla bir gün geçirmek güsel olur(du)..

It would be nice to spend a day with him/her.

1.Bu görsel dünyanın kurgulanmasında ben profesyonel biri değilim.

kurgu: abstract thought
kurgulamak : It may be translated into English to be "design"

I'm not one professional of/in designing this visual world.


2. Neydi beyefendinin adı? Tamamen uydurmuş.

I think using "make up" is likely here.
What was the name of the gentlemen?. He made it up.
However, if you had written the sentence following " Tamamen uydurmuş", it would have been more clear to understand exact meaning. But it seems to me that using "make up" is correct.


3. Selanik asıllı, gizli Yahudi, 'dönme' de deniyor.. Şu sıralar yine ayukka çıktı bu konu......

dönme, dönek : inconstant, changeable.
dont think dönme in the meaning of rotate or rotary.

Ayyuka çıkmak: (for something) to be known by everbody.

As a matter of fact, you are right again. "Mutlu yıllar" can be used to say " Happy new year". But dont forget that it can mostly used to say "Happy birtday". You can use it in either way.

You can also say "Mutlu yıllar". "Mutlu yıllar" is mostly used. However, "Doğum günün kutlu olsun" is correct as well.
