Just wondering if there is a similar way to say the following in Turkish: (or do you use very different ways to say it?)

to put his nose out of joint

to not rub his nose in it

to rub his nose in it

is there a word for 'soppy' as in 'soppy sentimental music'

Thanks!

Hi moonlotus4,

to put his nose out of joint
1. Be upset or irritated, especially when displaced by someone.
2. To affront them.
I'm not sure about this. Maybe "rezil etmek" is a good idea.
http://www.turkishdictionary.net/index.php?word=rezil

to not rub his nose in it
smillar to the next one:
"burnumdan getirme" (literally: dont make it come from my nose) dont make me regretfull of what I have done.

to rub his nose in it
"Bring something, especially an error or fault, repeatedly and forcefully to someone's attention."
http://www.answers.com/topic/rub-someone-s-nose-in-it?hl=rub&hl=nose
Burnundan getirmek: (literally: to make come it from his nose) to make someone regretful of something the person has done or said.

'soppy' as in 'soppy sentimental music'
"Aşırı duygusal" too sentimental could be used.

You could also try burun by double clicking on it. There are a few idioms of it in our dictionary.
