Will someone please correct my Turkish so I dont sound like a total toolbag on my voicemail please (gotta impress the in-laws and I dont want to sound like some FOB  ---

Affedersiniz. Þimdi telefonda deðilim. Lütfen bir mesaj býrakýnýz ve sana söz verim sizi arayacaðým. Teþekkür ederim.

Þimdi telefonda deðilim is "I´m not at the phone right now", it does make sense in English but it sounds a bit funny to me in Turkish=)) So maybe you´d want to say "Þu an evde deðilim(I´m not home right now)"

and you don´t really need the -ýz suffix at the end when you´re talking to a person.

So here´s my corrected attempt;

Afedersiniz.  Þu an evde deðilim.  Lütfen bir mesaj býrakýn ve size söz veriyorum sizi arayacaðým. Teþekkür ederim.

and I´m not sure if people would leave a message as  "size söz veriyorum sizi arayacaðým".  Maybe you´d like to say "Ben sizi sonra ararým(I´ll call you back later)" or "Ben size sonra geri dönerim.(I´ll be back to you later)". Or maybe there´s a better way of saying this.. IDK=)

Thýs ýs for a voýcemaýl message........should I not use the plural?  Thank you for your ýnput about the last part for sure......it dýd sound a být lame to me too.

How would I say I am away from my phone?  Thýs ýs for my mobile.  I dont own a landlýne

"Mesaj býrakýn" is also plural, and formal..  Býrakýnýz is the textbook language=)

as for I am away from my phone, you can say

"Telefonumun yanýnda deðilim"(which may make your phone sound like a person)

"Telefonum yanýmda deðil"(better, I guess "my phone is not with me")

hýýýýýýý....anladým.  Here is the final cut then--

Afedersiniz, telefonum yanýmda deðil. Lütfen bir mesaj býrakýn ve size sonra geri dönerim. Teþekkur ederim.

Bu iyi mi?

change that "ve" with "ben" and you´ll be good to go

instead of ´geri donmek´ say ´ lutfen mesaj birakin, sizi sonra ararim´.
