What does ´spinster´ mean?

 

 It´s a term not used very often today. It means is another term for an old maid, but not exactly. It is a woman who either does not want to get married or has been passed over for marriage.

 

Spinster

 

The Turkish term for this is turşu.

 I think it means "kız kurusu" or "evde kalmış" in Turkish and more suitable...

Thank you very much for your explanations.

 

And Fatimah, what kind of heresies are you talking about!? {#lang_emotions_wtf}{#lang_emotions_get_you} You are TOO YOUNG to get married! You should be going to school now and getting a career and enjoying yourself. Marriage is a serious commitment, there´s no rush into it.

 I agree, she should be getting an education, and learning and having a career, but it´s not always possible in every place to do that.  

 

Remember, she is in Saudi Arabia. Even then, she is not a Saudi national, she is a woman from Yeman living in Saudi, thus she can not partake in the benefits of Saudi citizenship.

Second advise: Find a Turkish Dating Forum. Give it at least a try.

And if you, Fatimah, don´t speak/write the language yet, sign up at Facebook, with Turkey as your network. It may sounds sarcastic but it´s true: you´ll get loads of messages and friend requests from Turkish guys of your age (and you can of course always ignore or block them).

Quoting Fatimah

 Do you want to talk to my mother? She is here with me, I´m translating all replies to make her understand.

 

 Hello Fatimah

 

I did not mean to cause you offense.  It is only that we hear such awful stories about how ladies suffer at the hands of (particularly) male members of families protecting honour if a girl is caught.  I genuinely worried for you being "found out".  If you have the support of both your mother and father, then you are very fortunate and they are very understanding.

 

Good luck to you Fatimah and best wishes.
