Thank you for the explanation Melikeı.  It´s good to learn new things

I have very little knowledge of the turkish language but doesn´t  ´Umarım yakında görüşürüz´ mean ´I hope to see you later´ rather than ´I hope to speak to you later´?

My mother-in-law always says ´otur´ to me when I get up to help clear after we have eaten.  I must say though that she always says it in a nice way and to me it doesn´t sound like a command.

Sometimes I sit back down if other members of the family have come to see me but quite often I don´t do as she says because I like to help with the washing up etc...am I wrong in doing this?? 

Thank you both very much for your help with this...I really do appreciate it

Can someone translate the following please:

Hi ´name´.  I just thought I would surprise you with a message.  Hope everyone is ok. I can´t wait to see you all in 34 days time.  Please give my love to everyone and see you soon. 

Thanks for any help received

Thank you seker... I miss-read it and it does say biricek....silly me

Can anyone please explain what ´birieik´ means?

Thank you again Bod.... I don´t really want to change my internet provider as I also have my telephone and tv package with them and get an excellent deal!!

Thank you to you also Tinababy.... I checked out the site and Rebtel looks quite promising.  Have you used them yourself? 

thank you bod.... i´ll look into this and see what I can find.     

Hi

I would like to ask the opinions of anyone who uses international phone cards to make calls from UK to Turkey. 

I buy mine on-line but there are so many sites available I´m not sure that I am getting the best deal.  The site I am currently using is Planetphones.com which seems fine except for the fact that I never get the number of minutes which it says I will get.  When I first use a £5 card it says I have 800+ minutes but in actual fact I actually get around 150 over a period of 4-5 calls.

I just wondered what other sites people use and if anyone has found any really good ones which give excellent value for money ........like FREE calls for example would be excellent
