Hi! I am new here, and just have a few questions and some sentences I was hoping for some help with.

Can you say ‘görürüm’ to mean I understand?

As in English we say ‘I see’ but mean ‘I understand’.

If I wanted to say something along the line of ‘I’ll be back in a tic´, are there any slang/colloquial words like ‘tic’ ‘sec’ ‘jiffy’?

Also, do these sentences make sense?  (or rather, do they mean what I am trying to say?!)

Ben kýpkýrmýzý gittim.

I went bright red.

I need to go to bed now.

Ben geri evdeyim.

I am back at home.

Ben ögleden sonrada eve uyumayý gideceðim.

In the afternoon I will go home to sleep.

‘Building’ için kelime ne?

What is the word for building?

That was not the first time.

Tabaklarý masada koydum, ama yemegi deðil.

I put the plates on the table, but not the food.

Thanks!

welcome to site.

1. You can´t say "görürüm"   to "i understand". You can say "anladým or anlýyorum" for that.

2. For building, actually i couldnt understand what you are asking exactly about it but, "building" meaning is in Turkish "bina". For example; municipility building (belediye binasý), their building (onlarýn binasý). I hope ý could help you.

Maybe ´bir dakika´ (´one minute´ would be appropriate here.  It´s usually sounds like ´birdika´ when it´s pronounced and to me it seems like the equivalent of ´hang on a tic´ in English.
