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
You should NOT use soðuðum for I am cold. That means I am a cold person i.e. unfriendly.
Equally Don´t use SICAÃIM for I am hot. Its closest equivalent in English is I feel horny.
Instead use ÜÞÜDÜM or ÜÞÜYORUM and TERLEDÃM or TERLÃYORUM for hot and cold respectively.

Quoting Marion-´Equally Don´t use SICAÃIM 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!

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!
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
