Can I say Mimarlikim to mean "My architect?"

Thanks, Sarah

Mimarlık = architecture

Mimar = architect

So you should say "mimarım".

Thanks, I thought that would mean "My architecture" and that's not what I want to say at all.

Mimarlık is the name of the occupation. I think you want to say something else. If you build one or a few sentences we could translate it or them all. Cheers.

I think Mimarim is what I want. I'm looking for a nickname along the lines of my buddy, my friend, but don't want to worry about how formal or intimate the word for "friend" might be. We were good friends in high school, but it's been 30 years. Silly is okay. Thanks, SJ

'mimarım', as Kadir explained has two meanings. One is "I'm an architect" and the other is, "my architect" (my dear architect). But the problem is that it can also mean "the person who has build me".
I know it sounds silly but as a single word, that word is open to any kind of misunderstanding.

Context is everything. Thanks for translating that as well! SJ
