no difference.

Quoting Meryemaydin

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

 

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!

 Very briefly> Dua is an involuntary ´Supplication´ to any deity which,  expresses in one´s own words, aspirations that one entertains in one´s heart & mind. 

 

´Namaz´ > as a member has corretly characterised, is the specific act of ritual ´Prayer´ worshipping ALLAH.  It is performed by a Muslim, in a defined manner, at oedained times, five times a day, and it is uttered in Arabic involving prescribed text.  Namaz is TtO  ´PERFORMED´  [KILMAK] facing Mecca [Kaba].

Dus is said to be ´Made´ .... ETMEK, YAPMAK

Namaz is ´PERFORMED´ ... KILMAK

Anaçlýk is ´maturity´ (or in an agricultural context ´fruit-bearing´

Sürgün = ´bud´ - so maybe ´eye of the bud´ is an agricultural expression?

Hasadý yapmak is ´to make hay´ (I think)

 

My attempt but wait for a better answer - maybe from a Turkish gardener/farmer

Anaçlýk: I not %100 sure but as far as I know there is no exact match in English. Anaç is derived from ana which means mother. Meaning of Anaç can simply put as having characteristics of being a mother.

Regarding to agriculture, It can either mean an animal aged enough to give birth or a plant mature enough to fruit.

Sürgün göz: Sprout eye ,these might be  jargon words.

Hasadý yapmak: to harvest i.e ´Buðday hasadý yapýyoruz´ - we are harvesting wheat
