Ben allaha sükretmek...seni karsima cikardi.

 

I think it might be about promising to to God about something. I hope to get a correction and help to translate this!

Many thanks in advance!

The first sentence is nonstandard bu still understandable.

 

I thank Allah (because) He helped me come across / meet / find you.

Alcoholics don´t be sad...we are all struggling with it...the most hardest part is to learn how to THINK like turks think, if you will achieve learning that part, it makes much easyer to understand their sentence building, too

 awh thanks yakamozzz, its nice to know im not the only one struggling and also nice to get a friendly word of encouragment Flowers sometimes i think i will never wrap my English thinking brain around Turkish thinking! i think it will take a long time to learn, maybe in 5 years i will be able to say more than just a four word sentence haha

Yakamozzz is so right, and I know how easy it is to think ´I´ll never get it´, but every new word you learn, however small counts, and it´s such a great feeling to listen or read a foreign language and thinking ´hey, I know what that word means!´

This is such a beautiful language, it requires perseverance but we will all get there I´ve been on and off studying for almost 5 years and STILL can´t grasp a lot, I´m still basic,  some days I throw my books down and say ´ahh it´s impossible!´ but the next day I re-read it and it seems more simple.

Cheers to us all for our Turkish-learning ambitions

no i don´t think so, it won´t take 5 years maybe 4,5 just try to remember basic things like - they are married WITH, not TO smbd, they are afraid FROM, not OF smth...etc etc...gosh, as i understand - they even kiss you FROM your eyes or forehead or cheeks etc just create your own system for memorizing things like that

 I definitely agree with everything you just said, im only learning about 5 weeks but im definitely having one of those ´ill never get this´ days but i know how great it is when i do understand something, when all of a sudden the suffixes in a word makes sense and you actually understand what it means Alcoholics.thanks for your words of encouragment, a bit of determination and some serious hard work and i will learn this beautiful language

here here Big smile

I second that cheers

yes if you create your own very personal system to remember those things like...in some small groups based on similarity (for example, group called "from": -tan, -ten, -dan, -den: korkmak, öpmek...and keep adding to the group what ever verbs demanding the same "from" you will learn later...), then it will help you to put the right endings everywhere and in time they will come automatically, coz you´ll get used to it and will be able to do it even when you are tired as hayvan and your head doesn´t work and feels like no brain left inside... works for me, hope you can create some system that will work for YOU, too

 Yes i think that is the best way for me to learn, that is very good advice Big smile, the only thing ive been trying so far is word association for vocabulary, like to associate a word in turkish to something in english, just one (maybe a bit strange) example, eþek is donkey and i always remember this word bcoz i always think of when i was in one restaurant in turkey and thay had a plastic statue of a donkey outside and when the waiters were dancing for the customers they would dance and shake their hips in front of the donkey and they were always saying ´a shake, a shake´  but it sounds like eþek haha, or like or like yellow is sarý so i think of saffron and then my brain makes the connection to sarý. my brain seems to remember better when thing are grouped together with similar things, this way if you can remember one thing from a group you might be able to remember them all, and for everything else i will just have to memorize memorize memorize!!!!
