No, I think this one would be better:
I will not promise anything more.
Artık hiç bir şey söz vermeceğim.(?)

Quoting MarioninTurkey: I'm not afraid of you any more: Artık senden korkmuyorum. |
I thought that korkmak was "to be scared of" and not "to be afraid of". The difference in English is subtle - does the same difference not exist in Turkish???
Or would the aorist tense of korkmak be better for "afraid" the the present continuous be better for "scared" ???

Hey Bod, it is often the case that Turkish has fewer words, so more than one thing in English has the same Turkish equivalent. Turks then make the subtle difference with tenses, and other explanations like biraz, çok etc.
A major exception is with family words. Where we have just one word for in-laws they seem to have millions!!!

I think "kola" is here a general term. If you were talking about the coke can in your hand, then you may say "kolayı", but general terms are like undefined objects. For that reason, you should say "kola içmek"
Artık kola içmek istemiyorum.
