Hi, not sure whether this is the right place to post my query - so sorry just in case...

 

I am writing to a friend (male) and I´m not sure what the norm would be in ending the letter - ie, in English we can be quite stuffy sometimes, whereas the Turkish can be very romantic? cheesy?  I just wondered if anyone could tell me what would be expected normally - baring in mind we´re not intimate with each other, close - but just friends.

 

Thanks to anyone who can enlighten me

"sevgilerimle" diyebilirsin

"saygýlarýmla" diyebilirsin ama bu kendinden büyükler için daha uygun olur.

mesela þu þekilde bitebilir:

..

Sevgilerimle, Suza.

I posted this coloured reply here for learners, to hopefully understand the structure of the response:

"sevgilerimle" diyebilirsin

You can say "sevgilerimle" (which means ´with my love´ or like ending with ´affectionately yours´

 

"saygýlarýmla" diyebilirsin 

Or you can say "saygýlarýmla" (which means "with my regards")

 

ama bu kendinden büyükler için daha uygun olur.

but it´s allright and this would be more appropriate for (from) yourself to older people.

 

Mesela þu þekilde bitebilir:

For example it can end in this manner:

 

Sevgilerimle Suza

Affectionately yours, Suza

thanks Henry for the colored replies, this is really very much helpful (at least for me! ) in understanding sentence construction in Turkish, I love it!
