Hi everybody,I hope you enjoy learning as much as I do,it´s really fun.And teacher is also very patient and helpfull.Thank you Faruk!


Now my question;homework section 5,exercise 2,second question:
Londra çok pahalı bir şehir mi?

-we can say yes or no(I think we all know how to do it {#lang_emotions_wink}) but I´d like to know if this kind of answer is also correct:
-Yes,London isn´t (very) cheap city......Evet,Londra (çok)ucuz şehir değil.

 

I mean like you´re walking with a friend and looking at prices and friend says:"100 €,it´s expensive?" and your answer is:"yeah(well dud!),it´s not cheap!"


English is not my mother language and I have sometimes problems with expressing myself,but I hope you will understand me.

Thank you CANLI for your answer and link.

I am very confused now.As far as I know,we(people in general)talk to eachother in this kind of positive-negative sentences all the time(at least in my mother language we do).First we confirm fact in question(in my exsample=London is expensive city)without long and grammaticaly correct speach and then we add our  own statement (in this case =London isn´t  cheap city-because I don´t know what is for you cheap and what expensive or I can be ironic when answering to your question or I can just express my opinion).

I was looking at homework no.4(noun sent.)and there were negative sentences in same way I was trying to answer mine,but without yes or no.Now I wonder if I wrote it down like this,would it be correct??
Evet. Londra (çok) ucuz bir şehir değil.

 

If this is correct then why the first one wasn´t??In speach you don´t say"comma,stop,slash...",you just talk {#lang_emotions_bigsmile}{#lang_emotions_cool}{#lang_emotions_wink}.
