Now that the year is almost over, I thought it is a good moment to do a kind of "survey" and ask you , who do you think was or were the most helpful members of 2006 in turkishclass who deserve one specıal 'thanks'?
It is time for you to express your gratefulness here!!.
I am so grateful to everyone who has EVER helped me here , I couldn't have made the progress I did wıth my turkısh without your help.
Special thanks to :

-Aslan2
-Derya
-Ayla
-Furkan
-Gizopy
-Canli
but for me the most helpful member durıng 2006 was :

" Caliptrix "
Yardımın için çok teşekkür ederim!!!
Really and stay here during 2007!!
Thank you guys!!
Dilara

A lot of people helped me but most grateful I am to Ayla for all her corrections of the many homework I posted (and at the speed of Mr. Gonzalez himself ).

Ayla: çok teşekkürler!

I won't name any names so I won't forget anyone
Y'all know who you are, helping me with language, having fun, sharing so many things here..

So, well, sizin için

i won't name names either because it won't be fair on everyone. but they know who they are.

thank you all...sizin için

I'm really grateful to anyone who has shared their experiences. It's so relieving to find other people who are in the same boat as me (raltionship-wise) and that we can help eachother and gain from one anothers experiences.
Also thanks fo anyone who has translated something from me. Hopefully I'll be able to return the favour to newbies in the future.

Im fairly new myself, althuogh alot of you know me now .

i know i will miss people out but id like to mention, Robyn cos you have helped me no end of times canim..i love our daily chats , also silence, again youve spent time translating for me ...ill pay you soon promise

and then all my buddies, pizza, kai, TC, VT...........and many many more....

may 2007 be as wonderful as 2006 on TC

o gosh i forget so many of you..you know who you all are

i think i felt here like home, everyone has helped me here,and if im going to say names i think the list will be quite long .

but i think the most effective help that i had recieved was from SLAVICA at the first days here i think she just showed me the way to study and to make progress so i wanted to say thanx so much to her and ofcourse for all of you.
i hope a happy new year for all.

Thank you Trudy, Elisabeth and Dilara, it's really touching. It was my pleasure and- any time.

For me, the most helpful member of 2006 was Erdinc - by far- with over 1000 posts this year, all concerning grammar and language. Agreeing with his general points of view or not, is irrelevant to his contribution to this site. Also Mltm's posts were much of a help, for those who were studying grammar.

As for the help in translations, whenever I lay my eyes on a request, the names of the ones to translate are either Ayla or Derya. So, I guess they deserve our gratitude most.

(For the new members, the help is probably coming from other sources. But if we wanna talk about the whole 2006 in TC, then we have to count the contribution of old members who may not be around much anymore)

I have been a member of this site for about a year now and wanted to thank all the ‘old’ classmates here who have made me laugh, cry and supported me through good and bad. I never met such wonderful group of people anywhere, let alone on a website, before. Some of that “wonderful” feeling has been absent from this site in recent months, but I have made TRUE friends through this site, so it always has a place in my heart.

Have a wonderful New Year everyone and hope all your wishes come true in 2007

Thanks Dilara,
We here are classmate ,we learn from eachother,and offer the help if we can

İ don't think i can add much too,it is thanks to all the member which is making this site such a wonderfull site

But i would like to add to the list Erdinç of course for his great help ,and unique style in explaining Türkçe.
Aslan 2,Caliptrix,qdemir,and my friend Gizopy who seems i became her destiny ..lol
Ayla,Derya,Dilara thanks arkadaşlar

İ don't want to forget anyone too,but just adding to the list. Scalpel
He is not arround much tho,his help in the language undestanding is very much appreciated.

Thanks for all who took the effort,and save the time to make me understand even a letter

And for who share a smile,or even a hot debate leading to a better understanding.

Thanks to you all guys,you all are stars

I would like to say a big thank you to all who help on this site. Us learners would be lost without you all.

I wish all my best wishes to you all for 2007, and may everyone get what they wish for

HAPPY NEW YEAR

I forgot Erdinç! How could I? He has such an important place in this site! we all owe him so much and yes Canli he has one unique style to explain turkish grammar ( just like Aslan2 whose explanations are awesome too!)What a pity he is not here as much as we would like to!

Also my good friend "leameus" (you are so helpful to me really !!), "Uykusuz" and of course my great friend Anil although he is not here anymore but he taught me a lot about turkish grammar and culture so if you ever read this, a big "Thank you" goes stright to you!

I found here one unique place and group of people , NO SITE I have ever been a member of can be compared to this...PLEASE let's keep it friendly

Dilara

Lapinkulta is one of the person who helped me but didnt insist for MSN

other ppl that I wanted help,OMG,helpfull and want MSN.so he is my favorite.

dilara i think rain posted a few days back..hes busy with work or something he said..

watch out! it is going to RAIN

qdemir,

Thank you very much to your contribution in TC.
The lessons which made by you,and your answeres to the questions have been asked to explain Türkçe in a simple way.
Not to mention the debates too.

So thank you so much for your efforts

Rain is fine - I got a call from him earlier in the week.
I miss him on TC too!

Most helpful people to me since I joined have been (in alphabetical order so as not to upset anyone!!) Caliptrix, Gizli Yuz, Impulse and Umut_Umut.

I would like to say COK TESSEKUR EDERIM to all people who help in TC.

sincerily my best wishes for 2007 and really thank you very very much

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR

Gosh sounds like rain really is a hero...is it only me that he picked on and humiliated on TC ... oh well shame

Ohh,but Rain was really very helpful here to TC members,and he never turnes down any translation request for anyone,and when ever he can,he explain about the grammars too.
Maybe,yes he has his own way,and arguments with lots of people.
But it is still his right to say that he was very helful to people who asked for translation,and for any question you ask,he answer you.
So thanks to him too,and wish him luck in what ever he does.

Thank you to everyone! A special thanks to Ayla who saved me from embarrassment in August with an e-mail, and who kindly translated my and Omer's very long posts. Aenigma, we've not met, but your assertiveness, intellect and wit inspire me. Robyn, your posts are so upbeat and informative! Kai, you are a marvel- I am in awe of your resilience, humor, and candor. Derya, Dilara, Cyrano, and every kind patient soul who encouraged me to 'stick with it'- I thank you!
I'm off to Turkey in just 14 hours! Everyone on this site has been so helpful personally in my study (albeit slow) of Turkish and Turkey.

Happy New Year!
Christine
