EMIN DEGILIM I am not sure
BELKI Maybe
OYLE MI DEMISTIM? Was that what I said?
HATIRLAMIYORUM I cant remember
OYLE DEMEDIM I never said that
HEY! SAKA YAPTIM Hey! I was only joking.
SIRA YINE BENDE MI? Is it my turn again?
NIYE SOYLEMEDIN? Why did you not say so?
UNUTTUM I forgot
BU KONUDA MANTIKLI OLALIM Lets be reasonable about this
ABARTIYORSUN, CANIM You are exagerating, dear

Kim, ben mi? : Who, me?
Tam ben de seni arayacaktım / aramak üzeriydim: I was just going to call you. / was just about to call you.
Biliyorsam Allah belamı versin : If I know (that) God will damn me.
Özür dilerim. Öyle demek istemedim : I apologize. I didn't want to mean that.
Beni yanlış anladın. : You got me wrong.
(Telefonumun) şarjı bitmişti / bitmek üzere. : My battery was flat /dead. / is about to die.
Alo alo sesiniz gelmiyor / sizi duyamıyorum : Hello hello I can't hear you. (This is also very useful, when you don't remember the name of the girl on the phone in order to make her say her name.)
Ahmet, ben seni sonra ararırım. : Ahmet, I will call you later (when you are with another girl)
Arkadaşlarla kahvede okey oynuyorum. : I am playing okey with friends in a coffee house. (on the phone when you are asked where you are.)



AlphaF, why don't you compile those very useful expressions in a book?

I think Loveprague doesn't need all these

Evet
Ben razıyım.
Itiraz etmiyorum.
Haklısın
Evet, elbette.
Kuşkum yok.
Elbette mümkün.
Memnuniyetle
Çok güzel!
Doğru!
Pekala!
Bu elbette doğru!

And so on, all in positive way.

You are right, guys but reading his posts I came to conclusion he won't need to be prepared for worse(I wish it will be the way he wants).

Yes Qdemir, you are right, that's my negative side of personality and it is to late to change.
