Merhaba! I am back again, begging for more help.

Please, efendim, could you comment which of the two is more appropriate translation from E>T:-


> "I wanted to visit the place where I could get suitable treatment for my illness". <

1. Hastalığım için uygun tedavi görebileceğim yeri ziyaret etmek istedim.

2. Hastalığım için uygun tedavi alabileçeğim yeri ziyaret etmek istedim.

I was translating from an exercise. The answers given specified No.1! My translation E>T is No.2.

Teşekkur ederim.

tedavi görmek = to get treatment, to be treated
tedavi olmak = to be treated, undergo treatment
tedavi etmek = to treat (as a doctor yani)


I dont think tedavi almak exists

Thanks deli_kizin

Obviously my English and Urdu frame of mind is vitiating my thought process and making me invent new Turkish vocabulary.

Anladim.

Hi deli_kizin

in confirmation of your correction, to day [accidentally], I came accross a note regarding this 'special' usage of 'görmek'. I thought that görmek only meant 'to see' >> but in special cases [like you point out] it ALSO means to RECEIVE; to UNDERGO!

I live and learn.

You teach me Dutch, I'll teach you Urdu.

Thanks.

Let's first master Turkish I got a long way to go before I speak like a native.. !
