Quoting Mysty

I lived in London for 3 years when i was a student.Please correct thank you

 

Öðrenciken, Londra´da 3 senedir yaþadýmc.

 

My attempt   (you can´t use ´ne zaman´ in this type of sentence - you have to use the -ken ending).  I think you could also say ´Öðrencidiðim zaman, Londra´da 3 senedir yaþadým´ - but wait for experts!

  I would have said the same.

The only thing is I think there should be Ögrenciyken

Ben bir öðrenci iken 3 yýl London (Londra)’ da yaþadým (oturdum).

P.S. "Sene" is an Arabic word.

        "Yýl" is a Turkish word.

I thought the ´dir´ ending was added to mean ´for´  and I hear more people use ´sene´ than ´yil´ - what is the difference if there is any?

It´s

"Yýl" is a Turkish word.

 

So you are saying the word ´sene´ is never used in Turkish?   I use this word all the time and nobody has ever corrected me.  Are they just being polite?

 

It´s okay - I got an answer by pm thank you.

"Sene" is an Arabic word.

Maybe they love to use Arabic words.It is their choice.

Of course Arabic language has influenced Turkish language in the past.

The academic persons do not use "sene" instead of "yýl".

Thank you Yilgun.  I did add in my last post that someone had pm´d me with the answer to my question. He is apparently a teacher of Turkish and he corrected me on when to/when not to add ´dir´ to the word ´sene´.  Obviously I don´t meet enough academic persons.
