Iþte

How many times haven´t i heard someone say ´iþte´.

Apart from the meaning ´at work´, could anyone give some examples as to when to use

´iþte´ like it´s commonly being used?

Neden bana cevap vermiyorsun? / Why don´t you answer me?

Ýþte. (like because but no explanation after that)

Kitabými bulamýyorum / I can´t find my book.

Ýþte burda (it is here, in front of you)

A couple of them.

Do you know where i saw iþte?

You the mc donalds logo?"Im lovin it"?

well you know on the pepsi things it says it in alot of languages, so there are alot of languages and letters and stuff, so i was bored and jusdt kept looking at it and then is aw it in turkish it said"Iþte bunu seviyorum" or something like that :S

but doesnt taht translate into: Its that which i am liking?

or smthg like taht?

Doudi94, you´re right. I´ve also seen that McDonalds slogan many times in Turkey. The meaning of it would be rather something like: This is it, this is what i like, i assume. It´s not a question, but a statement.

lol, i didnt mean it as a qusetion, it my mistake. It was my question lol, i menatb to ask does it mean this??/ lol

´ÃÃ¾te´: Here ,Here it is,See,Look,Behold,You see,There,here you are,there you are

 Seems to me it´s used a bit like ´voila!´ is used in French.

Another example:

Nasýlsýn?

Eeeee iþte napayým

How are you?

Hmmm well, what should I do? (Im ok, just the same as usual, dont expect to hear any exciting news from me, something like that )

Ýþte böyle: that´s the way it is.

´Ya bilmiyorum iþte´

Well I just don´t know! (don´t ask further because Ive told you I just dont know)

Ýþte, ben de öyle dedim ona.

See, I said the same to her.

Precisely, that´s what I told her as well!

until you´ve spent years learning iþte you´re almost guaranteed to misuse it. There´s no dýrect translation, but you´re right it´s very close to the french viola (sp?)

One of it´s many meanings is as boþ ver, "don´t ask, who cares anyway?"

-iþte yaptým, o kadar

Another is as ne olsun,"isn´t is obvious?" or "What could it be?"

-hayatým iþte, okula git gel git gel
