Sorry if this seems tedious, but I am very conscious that it would be very easy for me to learn the basics of sentence construction wrongly. And that if I were to get it wrong at this early stage then it will be very difficult to 'unlearn'.
Does this make sense?
"Gibson, sen bir köpek yaramazmasın, bağ Floss yaramazsın"

Quoting mltm: what do you want to say in english? |
I deliberately didn't include that!
If you can't work that out then I must have it very wrong 
What do you think I intended to say?

"Gibson, you are not a naughty dog but Floss is naughty."
bağ is supposed to be "but"

then it should be:
Gibson, sen yaramaz bir köpek değilsin ama Floos yaramaz.
yaramaz is adjective so you put it before the noun and we put "bir" between the adjective and noun.
when you want to make a verb negative, you put -mamak or -memek. but for things like:
I'm not fine: iyi değilim.
I'm not naughty: yaramaz değilim.
we use "değil"

Yes - I am getting my adjectives and verbs mixed up
I know all these things until I come to apply them! Seems I need lots of practice before I get it right......

Every one can mock others, but only the wise can enjoy a good laugh about themselves.
