I tried to translate these sentences but there are some mistakes. Can you help me to write them correctly?

I think so = sanaram
I’m pleased to meet you = tanışdı mızamı memnun oldum
would you to come to my house for lunch? = Oleyeme nagal ke misa…
please come in = lütfen icereburuyun
please sit down = lütfen oturun
would you like something to eat = birseye’me kirsta misiniz
do you smoke? = Sigara iciyormusunuz
do you have a light? = Atesi ne smairma?
I don’t smoke = sigara icmiyorum
Thanks for the wonderful time = horso bittene siçen tesekkürler

Which one is correct?

There are a few differences?

Rather than answering your question directly, I have noticed that often people ask why 2 people translate the same sentence differently.

There are many reasons for this. One is that languages are very rich, and you can say the same thing in more than one way.

e.g. you can say he is rich, he is wealthy, he is well-off and all are correct.

I'll leave it to the 2 who translated your sentences to say which they thought was better'''

Quoting MarioninTurkey:

Really then it is not important because you answered my question in that both are correct just different ways of saying it.

Thanks for explaining!
