Please anyone...In trying to translate turkish to english in just simple sentences... I see that Im having trouble distinguishing one sentence ending and another sentence beginning. I find this regularly. might it be because these are perhaps phone text messages and no (.) is being used between them?
I thot this was 'one' sentence and tried to make sense of it. it is two sentences. is there a better way to be more mindful of an end of a sentence instead of trying to make one sentence out of two? could it be that the first conjugated verb is a clue? or what else might i look for?
any suggestions? maybe that it doesnt make sense unless i make two sentences? hehe

sen------ sandım -----------------telsimi ------taktım
you---I thought/supposed---- telsim sim card ---- attached
Dear Teresajana,
Turkish is a hard language, even a native can get different meanings if a sentence is not punctuated. The same for English too. Punctuation is always important !
But I advise you to study on verb endings(suffixes) more.
That may help you to understand when a sentence has finished and the other one started.
Edit:
And study more verbs, and try to guess. Use dictionaries, of course it will take time to find if it is a verb or something else.
Check your translation when you finished, and if it doesn't sound good then check for other meanings of the verbs.
A painful strategy but it works !

Let's analyze what you did.
--you I thought my threads I attached--
You found the words correctly excluding Telsim, which is a company name. 
if we make it into good English, yours sounds like a line from a poem
I thought it was you, (there is a hidden SO) I attached 'my threads'.
Of course it is not 'my threads', but Telsim, a cell-phone company in Turkey. Well, it may not be in dictionaries, so I won't count it as a mistake.

cool..thanks for that maybe you can help with this...
Ok then...I am working on a translation now...
kadirle bulusnca seni asla birakmaz yani.
i got two unequal sentences:
1. you are a stubborn one who never has an orginal thought let alone not taking a side/stand. hehe
2. with kadir when he has discovered you will not ever let alone your side
are either of these even close to the real meaning?

Im trying though.
