This is great! I can't wait to see some of the places myself (Halfeti, Gaziantep, Abant Gol, Urfa). Thanks SunFlowerSeed!

Breathtaking

Can someone translate the poem that is on the website? I tried but couldnt really succeed.


Ne yazık! Vakit de yok kurtarmak için geleceği

DüşÃ¼nsek bile şimdiden – düşÃ¼nemiyoruz ya

üstelik ne çıkar bundan ve ne katardı yaşamımıza

Hiçbir şey! Çünkü ne varsa içimizde gelecek için

Sanki bir öyküsü bu, hayatı süslemenin”



--


Such a pity! There is no time to save the future!

Even if from now on we think * But we can't think

Moreover, what will come out of this , waht would it add to our lives? (huh)

Nothing! Beause whatever is inside us for the future

Its as if its a short story, the decoration of life.

*Such a pity! There is also no time to save the future.

Even if from now on we think * But we can't think
*Even if we start to think now - As you know, we can't think.

Moreover, what will come out of this , waht would it add to our lives? (huh)
*It is not hard to do it(thinking), and what more it could add to our lives. (not a question, "what" is the subject of the sentence)
**-or- it could add more to our lives.

Nothing! Beause whatever is inside us for the future
*Nothing! Because whatever we have inside us is for the future.

Its as if its a short story, the decoration of life.
*It is, as if it is a short story of, decorating the life.



Hope this is easy to understand Deli_kizin...
And you did really well. Congrats...

üstelik ne çıkar bundan -- Moreover, what will come out of this
But you should add something to your sentence to make it more understandable.
Moreover, what (hard and unbearable things)will come out of this
**It means that if you do that thing(thinking here) what kind of difficulties can you face.
**Thinking is an easy thing, it doesn't require a big effort etc to do.

ne katardı yaşamımıza -- what would it add to our lives
I know that this is possible in English. I mean sentences which look like question but they are not questions.
**Try to think or imagine --what would it add to our lives-- sentence as a positive sentence. Not a question.
**Here what is the subject. Say like I, you ,we etc in a normal sentence.
**To make it clear add this to front : "You could not imagine" what that thing would add to our lives.

Actually your translation is correct. Bu the way of thinking is little bit important.

best wishes,

Yeah it is, innit

I tend to lose track of time when looking at these kind of things. When I installed Google Earth it was time to go to sleep before I realized it
