Quoting bod: Fafna beş gün için görmedim!
Bugün ben mutlu göriyor

Bugün ben mutlu göriyor (görüyor i think it should be)
Today i happy he sees.
You said 'he sees' instead of 'he's happy'.. u used the verb at the wrong word for what you wanted to say.. and Ben is first case, but i guess it should be fourth..
Bugün beni görmeyi mutludur.
Is this correct?

Or maybe..
Bugün beni görmeyi için çok mutlu(dur)?

Whoops - well spotted......
Let's try again:
Bugün ben mutlu görmek ol
Although I am far from sure that is the correct use of olmak :-S

No.. 'he's happy' can be easily made by putting the personal-suffix behind a word like happy (sorry i dont know the english word for it.. adverb?)
You've done it many times before!
Beautiful - güzel
Personalpronoun of 'to be' for 'you' - sin (according to vowelharmony)
You are beautiful - Sen güzelsin
Happy - mutlu
Personalpronoun of 'to be' - sun (according to vowelharmony)
You are happy - Sen mutlusun
For HE SHE or IT, the personalpronoun for 'to be' is -dir- However, in this case you don't have to use it.So..
He's happy - O mutludur »» O mutlu.

Yes - of course......
I always get confused with the he/she/it personal pronoun suffix because we don't usually add it - but it does exist in the form of -dir.
So I imagine that "he is happy to see me" is:
Beni görmek mutludur
Is that right???

Yes..but this makes me wonder.. because i read there are like 3 types of infinitives in Türkçe
1.- full infinitive, görmek
2.- shortened infinitive with accusative-case, görmeyi
3.- shortened infinitive with dative-case, görmeye
I never really understood when to use which..
But i figure 2 or 3 in this case? I don't know..

And this evening is the first time since christmas day when I have been in one house and my book on Turkish Grammar (an xmas present) has been in the other :-S I usually carry it everywhere but I left it for Fafna to read
Although in another post Roxy has confirmed that sonra mutlu olacağim... is "then I will be happy..."
So perhaps "he is happy to see me" is
Beni görmek mutlu oluyor
