I have a very good Turkish friend that I'd like to see romantically when she breaks up with her boyfriend. I know first-hand that their relationship is in serious trouble. Right now, I can call her 'arkadaş'. I want to send her the poem 'Dost'

but I wonder if that might be too intimate?

Can a man & woman be dostlar without being romantically involved?

Some background: she's been living in the US for several years and her English is very good.

dude it will be great...send pls...dont hesitate....nice background....send her poems like that in few days she will be ur......

hehehhe...goodluck.....hope u achieve....its not romantic but if u focus on the peom u can understand many things not said der....cyaaaaaaaa...

Thanks for the encouragement. I still don't know the difference between 'arkadaş' & 'dost'. Can anyone help?

i thnk that arkadaş means friend
where as dost maybe more like the eng. word "mate"
im not sure though... i would imagine thats the case..?

i think 'dost' is more of a very close friend, or a best friend and 'arkadas' is just a friend.

really?? wow.. thanks for telling us that..

Hi arkadaslar I asked the same thing in an earlier post. Take a look at this thread and read the difference
