Quoting etimologist

Üþümek = To feel cold

Havalar soðusa bile, üþümeyiz.

Even whether cools down, we do not feel cold.

 

 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!

Oops, sorry Sonunda.

 

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

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.

Haftada bir kendimi tartarým = I weigh myself once in a week.

Soðuðum means I am cool. Soðuðum = I do not speak people and I can not easily socialize... etc.

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.
