söze karýþmak: to chime in, to join a conversation, to cut in.

I think "sözünü kesmek" is better

 

Cutting in President´s speech Ahmet told there was a new school in the city.

or

Cutting in President Ahmet told there was a new school in the city.

 

Only Mehmet has courage to say what everybody is thinking/what on everybody´s mind/ aloud

Ahmet Bey polise artýk bellidir. - AHmet is alrady known to the police.

 

 

 Belli = is more like known, apparent, in the open.

 

e.g.

Beni sevmediðini telefonuna cevap vermediðinden belli: it was clear from the fact that he didn2t answer his phone that he doesn´t love me

Belli ki beni sevmiyorsun: It is obvious that you don´t love me

 

Ahmet Bey polis tarafýndan bilinir, zaten. - ahmet is already known to the police.
