I still dont know why hese is in prison do you know why?

 Hese neden hapishane´de olduðunu hala bilmiyorum, sen (nedeni) biliyor musun ?

I still dont know why hese is in prison do you know why?

"Hese´nin neden hapiste olduðunu hala bilmiyorum, sen biliyor musun?" 

Sorry but the previous reply doesn´t sound right at all. Trust me

Well I AM SORRY too but the only difference is Hese and hese´´nin, you are correct about that but hapiste or hapishanede is both possible, the rest of the translation is the same trust me, so whats to sound not right at all ?????

Relax,no need to be offended. You made 4 mistakes in one sentence.This can happen to any of us and all of us.It is not because your Turkish is poor, but probably because you do it rashly.And you are still lucky... what if it was gulbil? 

Hese (Hese´nin)neden hapishane´de(hapishanede) olduðunu hala(hâlâ) bilmiyorum, sen (nedeni)(nedenini) biliyor musun ?

Yes Ý was offended because Ý can´t stand injustice which Ý think it is because there where only small mistakes, but my translation was understandable !  This is why i think it isnt nice neither necessary to say my reply doenst sound right at all

(also there were actually only 2 mistakes hala wasnt wrong Ý just happen to not have that punctuation mark from the a on my keyboard. And you call a comma a mistake, but it doesnt make the word meaning different)

 By the way..i dont see on this site how to type that ´a´ letter of yours and even if i have turkish keyboard with turkish characters i dont see it ! Am Ý blind or something?

I think its only possible to copy and paste that ´a´ from somewhere. ´Cause Ý also have my keyboard with turkish language but Ý haven´t found that letter (in 1 and a half years hihi).

Here is the same typed word for aunt and still

http://www.turkishdictionary.net/?word=hala

from what i remember from my turkish lectures - seems correct to me

, melike you are so unlucky, people love to correct your small mistakes...

Yes, hala  shouldnt be count as a mistake

Are you people sure this translation request isn´t supposed to be ´why HE IS in prison´ and HESE has nothing to do with it??  

Vallah Ý was thinking about that too

Anyway thanks guys (and girls hihi)

But Ý am thinking too leave this forum, Ý just got a pm from an appearantly moderator of this

forum out of which appears i am not allowed to express my irritations (about translation corrections) on the board, Ý have to do it by pm that would be better for the atmosphere on the forum. Well Ý am sorry if Ý cant give my opnion openly Ý wonder if I still want to be here at all

No need to feel like that Melike.  It´s not that you are not allowed  to express your irritations but it is better if you have a disagreement with someone to sort it out via pm - otherwise it just detracts from the content of the post.

Well after another one of Yakamozz stupid, childish remarks, Ý think I have deciced to stay for now, just to hope to annoy him  

what ever is wrong with you, is no little thing try to increase your dosage and calm down this site is not the right place to intentionally annoy other learners or didn´t you read the rules? (www.turkishclass.com/tc/TurkishClassRulesAndTerms.php)

9. Personal attacks or insults towards other users will not be tolerated.

The reason I came here is learning Turkish ...I prefer to do it in peace and with respectable correction of mistakes , not with comments of some irritating ironical wiseacre , who definitely is not friendly and positive ( as I have noticed while reading older forums)... so no need to keep her from leaving ...yurtta sulh, cihanda sulh

And you are very right and correct Kailin.  Unfortunately, this is Turkish Class - and although its the best Turkish Language site on the web - you have to accept that nothing is simple here!  Arguments are a big part of the site - it´s what keeps us interesting.  However, as I said to Melike, on translation forums, it is better to keep translation disagreements to pms

thanks, Rey

Well thank you very much. This is a nice way to enter the forum.

Unfortunately for you Ý won´t leave, but Ý might think 3 times before helping you with your learning Turkish/translation requests, miss Worldpeace.

Melike - your are not a moderator or admin - it has nothing to do with you how someone enters a forum. Kailin is entitled to her opinion and I am sure she will find plenty of people to translate for her amongst those who were doing so long before you arrived on the scene.

Thank you for your help in learning- in advantage, miss universe

But I saw there are thousand of users on this site so I am sure I will get all the help I need... without laughing into my pretty face

Welcome to Turkish Class Kailin - I hope you will have fun here as well as help with your translations and hopefully learning some Turkish!

Çok teþekkür ederim

1. hâlâ: still

2. hala: paternal aunt

However, it´s not a mistake to write ´hala´ when it means still. Like most Turkish speakers, I never write ´hâlâ´ as it isn´t worth, spending the extra time to insert the letter â. It may be necessary to write ´hâlâ´ if writing ´hala´ would cause a confusion in terms of meaning. In the sentence above, however, it´s obvious that ´hala´ doesn´t mean aunt.

 Where is the letter â on turkish keyboard? Or on this site when you right the messages near the other turkish characters ?

The mysterious "hese" here is probably a mistyped "he is".....stop fighting girls!

Hi

Hese is the person´s name sorry for all the confusion i appreciate everybodys efforts though thank you.

 We don´t use accent on a´s anymore... according to Turkish Language Council... so hala is not wrong!!!

 Merih THAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNKKKKKKKKKKKKS

You have just saved me hundreds of hours when preparing power points for my lectures at Bahçeþehir University: it takes ages to put the hat on the a every time I write kar or karlýlýk so my students don´t get profit and snow confused!

I just checked the tdk website, and you are right. They do show hala with hats as meaning still. But they also give hala without hats meaning hala with hats. Maybe I need to paste it for this to make sense:

a. (ha´la) Babanýn kýz kardeþi, bibi.

Teyze.

(< Ar. hâlâ hâlâ

< Ar. hâle: Teyze; annenin kýz kardeþi. (Kemah, Merkez)

< Ar. hâla: hala; bk. ayrýca bibi

Hele, þimdilik

zf. (ha:lâ Þimdiye kadar, o zamana kadar, hâlen, henüz: “O zamanlar saðlam diþi söktürüp yerine altýn diþ taktýran, böylece güzelleþtiðine inanan insanlar hâlâ vardý.” -A. Kutlu.

 You are most welcome.  

Ooops what have I caused here! It´s been a while since I signed in my Turkish Class account...

Sorry Melike, you´re right, our translations are more or less the same. The part that doesn´t sound right at all is the nedeni part, which is in brackets anyway. I am sorry I didn´t consider what I said might have upset you. 

As for why nedeni is not right, object of the verb bilmek needs to take the accusative, so it should be nedenini bilmiyorum...

I am sorry again to have upset you. I didn´t mean to. Seems like you´re learning Turkish, and you´re doing a very good job.

Best wishes,

Sumru

 Are you sure?

Please, see 15th entry on the page of the following link,it is funny

http://sozluk.sourtimes.org/show.asp?t=%C5%9Fapkal%C4%B1%20a

 I just noticed now that 18th is even funnier. You should start to use â not to cause a misunderstanding.   

TDK is funny. some years ago they decided not to use the "^". So everyone got used to not using it. then they decided to use again since it causes a lot of confusions.
