Soðurmak = To absorb

Black surfaces absorb the sun light.

Tartmak = To weigh

Kuyumcu altýný tarttý.

The jeweller weighed the gold.

Taramak = To scan

Tüm yüzeyi taradýk ama birþey bulamadýk.

We scanned all surface but we could not find anything.

Tiksinmek = To disgust

Tiksinmek doðal bir davranýþtýr.

Disgusting is a natural behaviour.

Titremek = To tremble

Ýnsanlar üþüdükleri zaman titrerler.

Humans shiver when they feel cold.

We are in desert. We must not consume all water.

Varmak = To arrive

Sonunda eve varabildik.

Finally, we could arrive at home.

 Here we would probably say "shiver" in English. What you wrote is understandable but "tercüme gibi kokuyor"

 Do you mean ´weather´ ?

 Hmm. This is an example of an antonym. Weather and whether are said the same, but spelt differently and mean different things.

We also say "even when", and weather takes a definite article.

So we should write:

Even when the weather cools down, we do not feel cold.

Sorry to be so picky, but I thought if you are an etymologist, you would like to know!

Hatalarýmý düzelttim.

I have corrected my mistakes.

Thank you

Oops, sorry Sonunda.

You snook a message in there, while I was trying to decide how to spell etymologist in English!

 Well certainly not with an ´i´  

Cool post It´s always nice to learn some new words. I have a couple of questions though:

- for tartmak - would you also use it for "to weigh onself"? How would you use it in a sentence, for example: "I weigh  myself every week."?

- for üþümek - thank you for that one, I was using "soðuðum" - and my question is, is it also correct to use "soðuðum" or should I give it up altogether?

Thank you

Denemek = To try

Her yöntemi denememize raðmen, baþaramadýk.

Even though, we tried every method, we could not succeed.

Aldatmak = To decieve

Sen insanlarý aldatýyorsun.

You are decieving people.

In some part of Anatolia Yaldatmak is used for aldatmak (Yal-an = lie and yal-datmak come from same origin)

 You should NOT use soðuðum for I am cold. That means I am a cold person i.e. unfriendly.

Equally Don´t use SICAÐIM for I am hot. Its closest equivalent in English is I feel horny.

Instead use ÜÞÜDÜM or ÜÞÜYORUM  and TERLEDÝM or TERLÝYORUM for hot and cold respectively.

Yakmak = To burn

In order to warm up, they burned coal.

You can not warm up by candle light.

Quoting Marion-´Equally Don´t use SICAÐIM for I am hot. Its closest equivalent in English is I feel horny.´

OOOPS! I think this might have slipped out once in a while! 

Yadýrgamak = To find strange

Senin davranýþýný yadýrgadým.

I found your behaviour strange.

 Hmmmm, you mean homonym (or homophone to be exact) I think. Antonyms are words that have opposite meanings (good - bad). Sorry to be picky, but thought you might want to know

  - it might come in handy too

Söylemek = To say

Söndürmek = To extinguish

Sýzlanmak = To complain

Because of the raising prices, you complained all day.

Yükselmek = To ascend, To rise

 In English ´we succeeded in extinguishing the fire´

Boðulmak = To suffocate, To choke

Yüzme bilmeyenler denizde boðulabilir.

(Turkish word çok is pronounced as English word chock. Çok means much.)

 Wow. The thread calls itself "Main" Turkish verbs. I hadn´t come across pörsümek before!

Isn´t "Patlamak" more usual?

Anyway, it´s nice to learn a new one...

Boðmak = to suffocate, to choke, to asphyxiate

Boðulmak = to drown, to be drowned, to get drowned, to suffocate, to choke, be asphyxiated

Edit: Marionin, you´re faster

"Turkish word çok is pronounced as English word choke. Çok means much."

I thought it was pronounced more like ´chock´

 as in chocoholic - now there´s a scrummy word!

OOOOH YES!! must have some!

You´re right.

"çok" is not pronounced as "choke"

 I am sorry but i have never heard this word used anywhere.. I would rather rather use :emmek veya içine almak

No

patlamak is very different

they are not synonym actually. I should use something else instead of burst.

Pörsümek is to lose its rigidity or flexibility but not totally losing.

This word can be used for moral values also. Then gives corrupt meaning. As most of the turkish verbs this verb can be used very different situations.

It gives deterioration meaning in some cases.

 Emmek is different than soðurmak. they are same in some cases but they are different

anyway now you heard this verb.

 I don´t think pörsümek means to burst.  It is more like, you know when something is fresh, it is tight, but when it becomes old, or over mature, the skin becomes wrinkled and the flesh (could be human flesh or fruits or vegetables) loses it freshness, then we use it...

For ex:

Yaþlanýyorum galiba, yanaklarýma bak, pörsümüþ gibiler....

 So, I don´t want to be rude, but do you mean you ever heard or used this word in your life?

 OK .. you meant "it deflated" in English. "it burst" would be patladý.

Yes absolutely, it is used in science generally. If you study physics then you can come across.

Soðurmak

Yoðurmak (Yoðurt comes from Yoðurmak)

Doðurmak

Baðýrmak

Çaðýrmak

Aðarmak

etc...

They are like brothers

 I think I know the meaning of burst wrongly.
