Can someone pls translate to english?

 

bisi demiyorum

 

thank you

"demiyorum"= I am not saying, but "bisi" is not Turkish so here the guessing game starts.  if it is actually "birisi"=somebody or someone, then it means "somebody....    I am not saying".  More context would be helpful.

(See next, I like Meliki´s idea better, bisi=birþey makes much more sense)

I think bisi had to be birþey.

Birþey demiyorum =I am not saying anything/ Ý don´t say anything

´biþi´ is used in spoken Turkish.

bi = bir (one)

þi = þey (thing)

biþi = bir þey (one thing, something, anything)

 

´bir þey´ is written separately.

I hear many times people say: Bi þey or bi tane or bi gideyim and so on but Ý never heard about þi being þey sounds funny  <img src='/static/images/smileys//lol.gif' alt='lol'>

I´m not saying anything.

 

It´s sometimes used to express disappointment.

"Onu bu sefer unutmayacaðýna dair bana söz verdiðin halde kitabý getirmeyi yine unuttun ya, ben sana artýk bir þey demiyorum."

You forgot to bring the book again although you promised me not to forget it this time. I´m not saying anything to you anymore.

 

"I can´t believe that you forgot..." has a similar meaning and may sound more natural in English.
