hediyen için teşekkurler...thank you for the gift
ama hediyeni geri al sana otelin adresini göndercem bu adrese yollarsin adres...but the address I gave you before was a trick/deception but send it instead to this address
(then the address follows)
adim ve soyadim (then the name)...I am a no good loser, then name
senin gelceyin otelin...your new hotel
mesafesi 1 km uzaklikta sen tek...must be 1 km distance from here

Iam sorry about yesterday evening, my phone was broken. Thanks for the gift, but take your gift back, I will send you the adress of the hotel, and you can send it to this adress (hotel adress) my name and surname. The hotel you will come to is 1km away, will you come on your own? and when will you come? is a person who knows Turkey helping you?

Quoting krazegrl:

what is the 'adim ve soyadim' mean?



(ad - name)
adım - my name (in this context - though adım also means step or pace)

ve - and

(soyadı - surname/family name)
soyadım - my surname

Hope this helps.

H.

Oh thank you both!!! I guess when I translated it, I left off some sort of accent etc and I came up with what I wrote. Again, Thanks.
