Oylesine ğülmelere kaptırmışlar ki kendilerini, aralarında otururken kinleniveriyor topuna birden. What does this mean?? thanks

" Gülmeye öylesine kaptırıyorlar ki kendilerini aralarında otururken sinirleniyor hepsine birden. "

Greetings,
Your sentences are build by a foreigner. I have corrected this one. Please notice that any native Turk will understand what the author actually ment and will translate correctly but this doesn't mean the sentences you quoted are suitable to study. They are very poor indeed although there is no doubt the author has some talent.

Why is it that you are translating this (difficult?) work? I saw you live both in Holland and Istanbul. I think i PMd you about it but i'm not sure. Please tell me something about your works if you want to. Your pm can be sent in Dutch

Hi, yes I live in both cities, but mostly in Istanbul, Üsküdar, place of my hart! I came here three years ago for holidays without speaking one word Turkish!. Now I live here on a turistic visum and am very happy. I try to translate Turkish books for the Dutch market, because I fear the 'second' generation will loose contact with their own culture and I think this would be a shame for Turkish literature is marvellous. So I translate, but I still no editor or yayinevi, to work with my plans!! Hope I answered your questions enough??
