Please can someone express the following in acceptable Turkish:-

 

>>"They asked if they should clean the walls"<<

 

>>"They enquired if they could paint the windows"<<

 

I am getting all mixed up ... kindly help.

Thank you lady_in_red ... I am glad to note that I seem to have been forgiven for all my past ´misconduct´.

 

Greatly appreciated.

Rica ederim - please wait for a native translation though - I´m sure mine will need some correction.

Forgot it was a question - {#emotions_dlg.shy}{#emotions_dlg.shy}  - I have been trying to learn this ´diye´ thing and otherwise I wasn´t too far off but why ´temizlemek mi´ and not ´temizliyor miyiz´?
