I want to say the followıng 3 sentences.....

Thıs ıs my try at ıt....
Ben seni görmeyi (or ıs ıt görüşÃ¼rüz?) bekleyemem (I cannot wait to see you)
Ben Türkiye'ye gitmeyi bekleyemem. (I cannot wait to go to Turkıye)
yolculuk hakkında çok heyecanlıyım! (İ am very excited about the trip!)

Please correct for me
Çok teşekkür ederim!!

Needs checking

It all looks pretty good to me. except perhaps

YolculuĞU hakkında heyecanlıyım
not sure why, but I think we need to use an ending.

But I think the english expression "can't wait" is better expressed as "dört gözleme beklemek"
and therefore

Ben Türkiye'ye gitmeyi DÖRT GÖZLEME BEKLİYORUM
is more appropriate.

Etty

Thanks for the response!

I thought "DÖRT" meant the number 4...maybe I'm wrong.

Anyhow, I really appreciate your help!
Thanks!

Dört does mean the number four.

It's like saying "I am waiting with four eyes"

Maybe a bit like saying " I am all ears"

OH! Interesting....thanks for the explanation!

The phrase is

Dört gözle bekliyorum

Göz: eye
Gözle: göz ile: with eyes

I am waiting with four eyes. Like your eyes are so fixed on a point in the future, it is as if you had four eyes focused on it. It means I can't wait, I am dying for, etc etc

(Gözleme is a yufka pastry filled with meat or cheese - don't confuse the two)

Another way of saying you can't wait is ipi çekmek
Literally pullng on a rope.

The idea here is like you are trying to pull something forward so it happens now not in the future.

Ooops sorry I think I was hungry when I posted!!!
