Friendship is a special gift
given to us all.
The smile of a friend
is sunlight on a cloudy day,
and every smile
given to a friemd
is returned.
A friend is
one whom you can talk to
and listen to,
without judging.
A friend doesn't ignore your faults
but accepts them as a part of you.
A friend is a shoulder to lean on
when you need support,
a pat on the back when you do well,
and symphatetic ear when you fail.
A friend is a person
you can laugh with
about everything,
you can cry without shame,
and whom you trust completely.
A friend is a partner in life
and a part of you always.

İnsanın bir çok arkadaşı olabilir...
Ama...
Dostu sayılıdır...
Ve...
Herşeyin yenisi,
Dostun eskisi makbüldür...

Very smart!!!!!!!!!
Hey guys, don't you have anything to say except what SHT said?

I actually don't KNOW what sht said My Turkish is really very juvenile

But as for friendships, as in any other relationships, we always have to give and take.

Tolerance is the key word here. As we have our different personalities and habits, we should not expect others to agree on everything with us.

Just accept your friends as they are and don't hold back when you can help them whenever they are in need.

That's my two cent's worth about friendships .

I tried to translate, Liz.
In English for 'dost' and 'arkadaş' there is same word - FRIEND. In Russian we have 'dost = drug', 'arkadaş = tovarish'. The meaning is not same.

Heya Bliss,

Thanks for trying to translate Really appreciate the effort. No worries about not translating it OK. See ya around!

The real key to friendship
Is a tender, gentle blend
Of this plain and simple truth -
That one must be a friend.
Friendship is based upon
What we give, not what we take,
And it steers its kindly course
For a special friend's own sake.
Friendship which shall endure
And shall never crave an end
Is biult upon truth -
That one must be a friend.
- all my classmates!

Exellent idea using Russian for explanation, Bliss! Since in my native language also exist separate words for DOST and ARKADAŞ and since I spaek Russian too, now I apsolutely understand the difference. Ochen horosho sdelano

Thank you Slavica. I know it is better to use Russian for understanding Turkish.My problem is to put my knowledge into practice.
I want to thank you, Erdinc one more time for your help with your posts. My thanks to all my wonderful classmates.
