Hi!
I'm trying to understand and hope you can help me.

Burda means "in here, at here". If you add yim to the end to make burdayim, does that make it "I am here"?

Am I correct in translating "Ben burdayim sen ordamisin Cananim" as "My Canan, I am here are you there?"

Thanks!

Quoting Roswitha:

And adding the word "cim" to a name?



Adding im to a name means my(name)e.g Salihim
Adding ciğim to a name means my dear (name)e.g Salihciğim

If you add cik (cık cuk cük depending on vowel harmony) the word becomes a diminutive. e.g baba-father becomes babacık-daddy. or kedi-cat becomes kedicik-pussycat so kediciğim-my pussy cat.
