Hi, as I see here everybody opens a new topic, so this is my topic, but everboy can ask

I am studying Tukrish now, and I need to learn in the next two weeks as much as it is possible, because I am going to a ob interview. So, Türkler, I need your help

First think what isnt clear:

"What is the differenc between -dua etmek- and namaz kýlmak-. Is the dua for nonmuslims, and namaz for muslims?"

Cok tessekür ederim!

 Dua etmek is to pray (in general). It´s not specific to Muslims or non-Muslims (to the best of my knowledge), for example you can say Allaha dua ediyorum. (I´m praying to Allah).

Namaz kýlmak refers to namaz, which is a specific type of prayer. If I´m not mistaken it is the ritual prayer that´s performed 5 times a day (aka salat). So yes, namaz kýlmak would be specific to Muslims only.

Melek that´s  correct. Namaz is the 5 times prayer which we perform, this is were the Muezzin calls for prayer. Dua etmek is make a prayer to to Allah to fulfil or needs etc.

Speaking of praying, I´m wondering if the expression "praying to the porcelain goddess" would translate well into Turkish.

If I said: "Bütün gece porselen tanrýçasýna dua ettim." would it be understood that I spent the whole night throwing up? (hypothetical example, of course ). Is there a different euphemism in Turkish to express such an ordeal?

Thanks

Namaz kýlmak is - as far as I know - to offer prayers...

So if I were to say, Ben namaz kýlacaðým, then I should say, I will offer my prayers.

Ho do you say "had"?

For example: "I had a cat"

Tessekür ederim!

you can simply put it like:Kedim vardý

çok tessekür ederim.

Like this?:

Kedim vardý

Kedin vardý

Kedisi vardý

Kedimiz vardý

Kediniz vardý

Kedisi vardý

So "vardý" doesnt change?

3th person plural :

kedileri vardý
