merhabalarrr...!

i was wondering if u could just clarify sth. for me please...

from my turkish studies so far, i have learnt that you can say, "ne olduğunu biliyor musun?" meaning "do you know what happened?" ... im right so far yeah...?

so why is it that my bf tends to just say "noldu bilyon mu"..?? why isnt he saying "nolduğunu bilyon mu?" is it my mistake or is HE the one talking like a foreigner...? hihi can both be used...? isnt the eng. translation "what happened do u know"?? who the hell speaks like that?? :S
its not really a major prob. but i just want to be clear on it...

and btw, i know that its all cut down like the "bilyon mu" and not "biliyor musun".. that part doesnt need explaining!!

şimdiden çok sağolunuz arkadaşlar

"Nolduğunu biliyo musun" and "noldu biliyo musun" or "biliyo musun noldu?" are all used in daily speech and mean the same.
"Biliyon mu" is used in chatting for sounding a little bit funny and it's shorter, don't prefer it while talking tough. It sounds really funny to use like gidiyom, yapıyom and people can make fun of you (it's an İzmir dialect).

lol

No, it's not as bad as Bakırköy joke In fact it's not a joke really.
I don't know if people from some other cities do the same, but to speak like seviyom, yapıyom, ....yom is special for people from İzmir(nice city, nice people but why some of them talk like this don't know)
