Just a quick addition, I think when you are translating things from one language to another, you don´t necessarily do word to word translation but use a term in the other language like:

It´s raining cats and dogs.... literally means kediler ve köpekler yaðýyor, but the meaning is there is a heavy rain, so instead we say in Turkish: Bardaktan boþanýrcasýna yaðmur yaðýyor.

Like the previous example: time for me to tell you the truth, this is a very English phrase,and we don´t use this kind of expression in Turkish.

 You are correct too, but that´s why it sounds a bit strange, because, unless we have to translate, we don´t use it in Turkish...  instead we say:

Sana gerçeði söylemem gerekiyor.

Sana gerçeði söyleme vakti geldi. (This one is still sounding like translation)

 We use it in a couple of occasions:

Formal written and spoken language:

Þirketimiz 1983 yýlýnda kurulmuþtur.  / Our company was established on 1983.

Informing facts.

Ergin öðretmendir. /  Ergin is a teacher.

Karýnca bir hayvandýr. / Ant is an animal.

Describing a scene:

Hava bulutludur.  Birden yaðmur yaðmaya baþlar. / The weather is cloudy. Suddenly it starts raining.

And negative of facts:

Ayþe öðrenci deðildir. / Ayþe is not a student.

Çiçek kýrmýzý deðildir. / The flower is not red.

And, when we want to use : must have.

Þimdiye kadar eve varmýþtýr. / She must have reached home by now.

Also, when wishing for something.

Umarým sýnavý geçmiþimdir. / I hope I have passed the exam

Hope it helps, and sorry if I forgot something.

 Literally correct, but I think in spoken Turkish, we don´t use it exactly like this:

Uyku zamaným/ vaktim geldi.  Sounds better I guess.

 The usage here is not exactly like something happened, and you didn´t know and you heard it from someone.

Böyle insanlarý hep sevmiþimdir................. I have always liked  these kind of people.  (If there was no -dir at the end, then you were right, but there is, and it means you know, and you generalise it.)

Böyle insanlarý hep sevmiþim................. (I was told that) I have always liked these kind of people.

Böyle insanlarý hep sevdim................. I always liked these kind of people. 

Böyle insanlarý hep severim................. I always like these kind of people.

 I think the idea is sooner or later every passion ends... what they are saying here - like dilliduduk said passion is not the exact word for aþk but - not every passion ends but some are converted into love... 

by the way bitmez means does not end, and infinite means sonsuza kadar sürer.

Did it make sense???

 good point

 Every passion does not end. Rarely......

 you are most welcome

I just want to add something:

However to give birth means doðurmak, we use doðum yapmak as it sounds more polite.

So normally you would say:

Emrah bana eþinin doðum yaptýðýný söyledi.
