JUST A FEW EACH??

Hi I am quite new here, and have a lot to learn,
I was a bit put off answering your thread earlier as it is so long, and for a beginner a bit awesome.
That said, I have signed in again and you don't appear to have had an answer as yet, so I will give it a try. I have also had a rakı, so maybe I am a bit more confident.

No 22.
'sporu seviyor musun?' but 'Yaşmay'ı seviyorum'

This looks OK to me. 'O' is a rounded vowel and should be followed by another rounded vowel, in this case either
'O' or 'U'.
Now I am not very good on the technical languague of grammar, but I would say 'spor' was the 'object in this sentence, whıch means it must take the 'i' 'ü' 'ı' or 'u'
ending, in this case 'u'.

Yaşama, however has the 'a' as the last vowel and therefore must be followed by 'a' or 'ı',
Again I would consider it to be the 'object' of the sentence and therefore is subject to the same vowel harmony as above and therefore must take the 'ı'.

As I said I am new here and could be completely wrong, but that's how it looks to me.

Hope this helps, and if I am wrong I will learn something too.
Winners all round!!!!!!!!

OK, I will have another go:

No 8,
All I have to say about this, is it is not the language a young lady should be using, and I would find it offensive.
No 9
'bunu adlandırılması nasıldır'
I would say this was incorrect, it should be
'BUNUN adlandırılması nasıldır'
As I mentioned before, grammatical terms are not my strong point, however, I sense an ownership between the 'thing' and how it should be named.
Sorry I can't be more accademic in my language, however hopefully I shall learn these things,

I am sorry I disagree,

You cannot say 'çocuklar seviyor musunuz?'
It must be 'çocukları seviyor musunuz?'

Think, you say 'senİ seviyorum' ; 'benİ seviyor musun?'
'Ahmet benİ seviyor', 'Ben Ahmet!İ seviyorum'.
If you said, leaving out personal pronouns,
'Ahmet sever' it would mean 'Ahmet loves' there is no indication of what or whom Ahmet loves.
You are saying that this would mean 'S/he loves Ahmet.

I have mentioned before grammatical terms are not my strong point, however I would hazzard a guess that ın these sentences the thing which is loved is the 'definite object, and therefore takes the 'i ü ı u' endıng.
The one doing the loving is in the absolute form ie Ben, Sen, Ahmet etc.

I have pondered on the difference on how 'do you like THE
children?' would be said, and how you would say 'Do you like children?'.
I think 'bu, şu or o' would be used to distinguish between all children and the specific ones to which the questioner is refering

Questions keep coming now... :-S
For example, the verb görmek.
When you say "I see a car", in Turkish it's "(bir) araba görüyorum". But when you say "I see the car", you say "arabayı görüyorum".. Isn't that the same case as "do you like children?" ?

God, I thought I understood how to use cases of a noun, until today

I think the thing is,
90% of english people do not speak absolute correct English.
eg, Lots of English people say 'Different TO' or even worse the Americanism 'Different THAN'.
These can grate on the nerves of those, for whom grammar is, well a bit of an art form.
For most of us we may know the differnce but understanding the meaning is the more important.
I feel sure if you were to say in Turkey 'Çocuklar seviyoum', the meaning would be understood; but this is a language forum and I suppose the whole idea is to be able to learn to speak and write the language well.

i guess it is çocukları actually

I cannot remember the number of the question, might have been 102?
I am so stupid still havn't learnt how tö do the quotes thing.
Anyway it was to do with the 'have been' and 'has been' thingy.
It reminded me of something I did for a friend of mine a while ago to try and help her understand that English has as many verb formations as Turkish we just use more words to express their meaning.
I hope you find this helpful, I have tried to keep everything in the third person for the sake of simplicity, and it is not a complete list of verbal usage, just what I could think of at the time.
Thinking about it, perhaps everyone could add to it and it might be a good refernce tool!!

In absolute correct usage it is different from, but as I said many English speakers use 'to' and a few 'than'.
I would say that it is accepted colloqually, however if you were to ask an English teacher they should tell you that the correct ussage is differnt from.
I was married to an English teacher, and this was his pet hate. If he heard it on the BBC he would shout and bawl at the television for half an hour.
I divorced him!!!!!
