Sağ ol, tunci. Sorry there was so much to fix this time. My typical abuse of dictionaries again.

--------------------

I would like to ask about the function on -se- in these examples:

İster yağmurlu ister karlı ister güneşli isterse nemli olsun herkesin havayla kendine has bir bağı vardı.

Havaya dair konuşmak bazen  sohbeti ileri götürmeye bazense müşterek bir tecrübeye küçük bir köprü görevi gördü.

ister - ister - ister - ... - isterse, bazen - bazen - ... - bazense: it seems to be connecting the juxtaposed elements together like ´and´. Is it necessary here?

----------------------------

A reminder for me about -dikçe:

Havaya dair konuşmak daha normal hale geldikçe kendimi daha çok şey hakkında konuşuyor buldum. ´the more normal it became the more...´

And another example I recently heard with her -dikçe:

Kapın her çalındıkça o mudur diyeceksin.  ‘whenever someone knocks the door’

Rica ederim Abla. The -se suffix is not necessary in there however to put a stop to the chain of  repeated - ister´s I prefer to attach it onto the last -ister [ or bazen].

Havaya dair konuşmak daha normal hale geldikçe --> As it becomes more normal to talk about the weather.

i like - Dıkça  suffix and i think in Turkish this suffix is quite practical to use in different contexts.

Kapın her çalındıkça --> everytime your door is knocked [everytime someone knocks your door]

Sen bekledikçe sorun büyüyecek ---> The more you wait the more the problem get bigger.

İnsanları sevdikçe daha mutlu oluruz ---> As we love [other] people we become happier.

Paran bittikçe benden iste ---> Whenever you run out of money, ask me.

O burada oldukça bize huzur yok --> As long as he is here we have no peace.

If you like it I like it, too. Thanks for the examples.

Do these sentences make sense? How could I make them sound better?

In the original text which is unfortunately not English all the if sentences are real conditionals (If I know everything, if I have gone everywhere etc.). I wonder if it works in Turkish or if unreal conditional is needed.

Her şeyi biliyorsam

okunmamış bir kitap

okumadan

kapatabilirim.

Her şey hakkındaki

her şeyi gördüysem,

bu bakmamam için

mükemmel bir sebeptir.

Ama henüz

mavi gökü bilmiyorsam

onu da ölçmeye gitmeliyim.

Ellerimle

yapılabildiğini yaptıysam,

onlar dinlensin.

Ayaklarımla

gidilebildiği yerlere gittim

onlar hareketsiz dursun.

Ama henüz

dağın yüksekliğini bilmiyorsam

onu da ölçmeye gitmeliyim.

Seni tamamen tanıyorsam

senin önünde

kendi gözlerimi kapatabilirim.

Düşüncelerini

ezberden biliyorsam

sana, tebessümüne

sırt çevirebilirim.

Ama senin dünyana dair olan

hepher şeyi henüz bilmiyorsam

onu da ölçmeye gelmeliyim.

scalpel. What a joy.

Notes:

1. That´s what I suspected: in Turkish they are unreal conditions. What is possible in one language is not possible in another. It is sad actually: when you translate you always lose something from the original meaning.

2.The real issue was the generic person. Like

What I was trying to say was ´what one usually can do with his hands´. Anyone. I know Turkish has more than one way to express generic person, at least sg 2nd and 3rd persons, (impersonal) passive, pl 1st maybe. yap|ıl|abil|diğ|i|n|i was trying to be a passive form ´what can be done (ACC)´, I can´t understand what brings up the sg 2nd meaning here.

You go to an open place, a rock or a cliff by the sea, or in the middle of a meadow, lie down on your back and concentrate. It has to be a clear cloudless summer day. First you measure a hundred meters and place a mark in the place you have come to. Take another hundred meters and do the same. Pass the birds, children´s escaped balloons, airplanes, weather satellites and go on single-minded step by step until you reach the end.

This is how we do it.

I can´t understand what brings up the sg 2nd meaning here.

-m- in ellerimle.. "ellerimle yapabildiğini" (m+n).. if it was  "ellerinle yapabildiğini" (n+n).. it would also be for generic person..

Ellerimle ellerle yapılabildiğini/yapabildiğini yaptıysam onlar dinlensin.

No?

Abla please write in English what you want to say in this sentence.

If I have done with my hands

what one (in general) can do with his/her hands (I wanted it to be impersonal here)

let them rest.

Birinin elleriyle yapabildiğini, ellerimle yapsaydım, onları dinlendirirdim.

This is my version
