Quoting bod:

Dışarı attığım köpeği
The dog I have let out








NOOOO!!!

Why do you add -i here?

It doesn't need accusative definite suffix. Because this is NOT A SENTENCE! lol

Oh my god... How can this be so hard to realize that the things are accusative or nominative?

Look: "dışarı attığım köpek" << this is a word group, a member of a sentence. Not a sentence itself.

But let me make some sentences with it in two different duties:

Dışarı attığım köpek çok yaramazdı.
The dog I have thrown out was very naughty.

"Dışarı attığım köpek" is NOMINATIVE, because it is SUBJECT= THE ACTIVE MEMBER OF THE SENTENCE= THE DOER OF THE ACTIVITY

but:

Dışarı attığım köpeği Ahmet almış.
Ahmet took the dog I have thrown out.

"Dışarı attığım köpek" is ACCUSATIVE, because it is OBJECT=THE PASSIVE MEMBER OF THE SENTENCE= THE ACTIVITY IS DONE BY SOMEONE ANOTHER, NOT BY THE DOG!

Because the dictionary says that dışarı atmak takes the accusative state :-S

dışarı atmak /ı/ to get rid of, throw out.

Although I actually wanted "to let out" and not "to throw out"
I do not "throw" out my dogs

"Yanlışlarımı düzeltebilir misiniz?" desen daha güzel olur.
Çünkü "kişiyi düzeltmek" karakterini, davranışlarını düzeltmek anlamında kullanılır.

If you say "Yanlışlarımı düzeltebilr misiniz?", it will be better. Because "kişiyi düzeltmek" is used for changing someone's character or behaviours

"tanıştığım insan" may be better for "the person I have meet"

"duymadığım soru" is negative: "the question I did not hear"

Rest looks ok

Yes, you're right caliptrix "The person that I meet" looks better! I didnt know that if I wrote "Beni duzeltebilir misiniz" it would sound like changing my behavior etc so "yanlislarimi duzeltebilir misiniz" sounds much better...one last question, in how many different ways can I say "my writing mistake" can I say "Yazi hatalarimi duzeltebilir misiniz?"?
Simdiden tesekkurler!

I think these are ok;
yanlışlarımı/hatalarımı kontrol eder misin?
yanlışlarımı/hatalarımı düzeltir misin?

As kontrol etmek means "to check", you can say "yazdıklarımı kontrol eder misin?", maybe you don't have a mistake

We say also "bakmak" as "to check":
Yaptıklarıma/yazdıklarıma bir bakar mısın?

I also hear this:
Hata/yanlış var mı, diye (bir) bakar mısın?
hata/yanlış var mı, diye (bir) kontrol eder misin?

"bir" is used here like "take a look"

And you may use them with the negatives too:
hata var mı yok mu, diye (bir) bakar mısın?

One more I know commonly used:
Yanlışlarımı söyler misin?

I want to say "düzeltmek" is not used as much as "to correct" is used in English. We just say "to check"=kontrol etmek/bakmak and it also have the meaning of "to correct" inside.

----

"Yazı hatalarımı düzeltebilir misiniz" sounds strange, because of isim tamlaması: yazı hataları. It is odd for my ears. But I cannot find something better.

yazım (with m, not -my- suffix) means spelling/dictation. So does "imla". Yazım hataları or imla hataları can be used for here, but it is not related to the grammar.

Thank you once again for your explanation!

I didnt know that " Yazı hatalarımı düzeltebilir misiniz" sounded strange, but actually, when you say this, do you mean that it is totally wrong or that (somehow) It could be understood (I mean somehow it makes sense)
of course, I do not want just to make sense I want to write proper turkish .

On the other hand, I had never seen this structure:

Hata/yanlış var mı, diye (bir) bakar mısın?
hata/yanlış var mı, diye (bir) kontrol eder misin?
I cant grasp it because whenever I see the word "diye" I know I am going into trouble because I cant understand it well, I see it in many dialogues but still, I cant understand the usage and meaning of "Diye" I am already asking something else by writing this but I promise I will give you some days off
Seni rahatsiz ettigim için uzgunum

Dilara.
