"gözbebeği" is used to show the importance and popularity of something. Beyond popularity usually the thing or person that is called as "gözbebeği" is taken care of very much. Apart from love there's a strong affection.
İstanbul Türkiye'nin gözbebeği. meaning that İstanbul is very popular and taken care very much.
Küçük Ayşe, öğretmenlerin gözbebeğiydi.
In this sense "gözbebeğim" is used as a an addressing but not just between lovers, it can be for anything.

Ah ok, because it is in the eye very much when someone is being taken care of  Thanks Meltem!
So what about the name Gözde then? That also means 'in the eye'. (obviously not that Gözde would be a term as endearment, but does her name also refer to being taken care of?)

Quoting miss_ceyda: Quoting miss_ceyda: damla:
14.You can use both of them.But for me 7gün için kalacağım.'s sound is better.
savassarioglu:
14. i'll stay there for 7 days= ??
is "icin" used here or the "-lik" suffix??
Unfortunately nothing is used!!! "Orada 7 gün kalacağım".
these contradict each other..!!??!! which one do i listen to??
20. pazar gecesi= sunday night
pazartesi oglen= monday afternoon
It sounds inconsistent but: "pazar gecesi"="sunday night", "pazar öğlen"="sunday at noon", "pazar öğleden sonra"="sunday afternoon", "pazar akşamı"="sunday evening" etc.
could this be explained again please? anlamadım...!
22. "sporu seviyor musun?"
Sevmek is used always with -i, whether or not it's meant to be specific. "Yaşamayı seviyorum"...
yeah.. i know its used like that with verbs but not with nouns..??!! i thought that suffix is only added if we are being specific etc.
22. "sporu seviyor musun?"
Sevmek is used always with -i, whether or not it's meant to be specific. "Yaşamayı seviyorum"...
