please leave me alone

Lütfen beni yalnýz býrak.

 

 This is probably the singular most important Turkish phrase to learn

 1st one is OK, except you spell it like Lütfen. This means quit bothering me.

 

2nd one OK, already corrected. It means literally leave me on my own.

 

Last one: Lütfen beni rahat býrak. Not rahatsýz. Rahatsýz is uncormorftable. You want to be comfortable!

I think you are confusing the ´siz´ ending on ´rahat´ with ´siz´ as a formal way to say ´you´

 

When you add siz to a word it means ´without´ so rahat-comfort or comfortable becomes rahatsiz-without comfort or uncomfortable.

 

Beni rahatsiz birak means ´leave me in discomfort´ so Marion said it should be ´beni rahat birak´-´leave me in comfort/peace´  i.e. don´t bother me.

 

I hope this helps.

You can only make verbs formal. For example  you would say to ´nasilsin´ to your friends but ´(siz) nasilsiniz   to your ´superiors or older people.

 

If you want to make the imperative(command) form of a verb more formal it goes like this

 

birak!

birakýn ! (more formal)

birakýnýz!  (extremely formal and used in public notices and warning signs)
