hak etmek =  deserve

 

hak = right ; bir hakkı daha: one more right (as known object -i suffix "hakk" =>"hakkı" because originally from Arabic, it has a symbol which makes some letter double "k" from "kk" but it is not a rule of Turkish)

 

I think it must have been "bir şansı daha hak ediyor" or something like that.

 

"he deserves one more chance"

English TV shows ans series with Turkish subtitles? Where can we find these gems? It can be good for learning.

 

By the same, is there any way to find Turkish TV shows and series with english (or French) subtitles?

 

That´d help a lot!

 

Thanks in advance for any reply or insight there.

Quoting baterista

Hello! I have the habit of watching TV series with turkish subtitles, and the one I´m working on right now is LOST, season 6 episode 3. In it, the turkish translation of

"He´s an Iraqi torturer who shoots kids, he definitely deserves another go around" is

"O çocuk katili, Irak´lı bir işkenceci kesinlikle yaşamak için bir hakkı daha hak ediyor". My problem here is only the sentence "bir hakkı daha hak ediyor". "hak etmek" I do understand but not in conjunction with "bir hakkı daha". It´s not in any of the dictionaries I have at my disposal. Could someone help me? I´d be very grateful.

 

 Don´t bother yourself on understanding that sentence as it is incorrect both from the point of logic, and from the point of grammar. "bir hakkı daha var" would be one of the right choices for the translation here...

you can find Turkish subtitles of many movies and tv shows at www.divxplanet.com site. at right sidebar of the website, you can see "arama" = "search". Write the name of the movie or tv show, and click ara.
