Hi all
Hope you don't mind me learning from your thread
Marion would you mind explaining why one would not say
çantamı annemLE bıraktım
I am easily confused by the usage of endings!
Thank you

Sorry, the only answer I can give is that "it just is like that": işte.
The second part of number 1 is:
/ı, a/ to leave (someone, something) with (someone), leave (someone, something) in the care of (someone).
i.e. in English we say "leave with"; in Turkish it is "leave to" - ona bırakmak
This is the hardest thing with another language. "They just say it differently". I find that most of the mistakes I make in Turkish are using the wrong ending in cases such as this!

They taught us 'A question can never be stupid, an answer has the possibility to be stupid however'

Marion is right, your sentence (I believe) would be understood "When With my mother, I left bag". You might intend that, then it would be correct.

Bir şey değil. (Think nothing of it).
(There are many alterate spelling to my name)
FYI, there is a "modify" button on your own posts
that lets you change your reply without creating a new post or changing its order in the sequence.

when I was teaching .. I used to tell my students .. "the only stupid question .. is the question that was not asked" meaning .. no questions are stupid if they help your learn ..
