Quoting Leelu: Quoting Deli_kizin: İs there any difference in meaning or usage of 'lisan' and 'dil', apart from the fact that dil can have the meaning of 'tongue' as well? |
"lisan" appears to be language .. where as "dil" appears to be speak or spoken which I believe is where the reference to tongue comes in. of course I am a beginner too .. and I'm sure the more advanced users of TC will correct me ..  .. but that is how we learn .. |
Not exactly.
lisan is the language, dil is both.
lisan is a bit old. but not too old.

seçtiğim renkler - the colours I chose
aldığım boyalar - the paint I bought
boyadığımız duvarlar - the walls we paint
çaktığı çiviler - the nails she nails (?)
açtığı delikler - the holes she opens up
yemiğimiz toz - the dust we eat
temizlediğim toprak - the floor that I clean
... and now guess what we are doing...

Well-done excercises, aiça. just to draw your attention to a typo:
yediğimiz toz - the dust we eat
But if you said, "yuttuğumuz toz", this would sound more natural. In Turkish, you swallow/gulp dust.
