Quoting maryilyons

Thank you in advance. For some reason, when I try to reply to a post, the message shows up blank.

 

Are you from Turkey?

Türkiye´den misiniz?

Why are you living here?

Neden burada yaşıyorsun?

Do you like living here?

Sen burada seviyor misiniz?

How long have you lived here?

Can´t recall how about "have you lived" {#emotions_dlg.angel}

 

 

A learner´s try, just diving right in with an attempt, though Tunci is probably already on it{#emotions_dlg.lol_fast}

 I wasnt on it Mavili. {#emotions_dlg.pinokkio} I left it to you.. anyway,, you done good. Just bit correction needed..

 

Do you like living here?

Burada yaşamayı seviyor musun [sunuz] ?

 

Do you like = seviyor musun

living here = burada yaşamayı

 

How long have you lived here?

Ne kadar süredir burada yaşadınız ?

 

How long = ne kadar

süre = time

have you lived here = burada yaşadın[ız]

tşk for the complimentSmile 

Doh!, a careless mistake was wrong vowel harmony for -musun? hopefully I will remember next time. And I knew about Ne Kadar, but I would not have thought to add -süredir. For yaşadin I thought to use -di past tense but didn´t know if that would change the context or tense and asking "How long did you live here?" so didn´t know if there was another past ending for it.

 Rica ederim Mavili, actually I added "süredir" onto the sentence to stress the lenght of time.

other ways we turks would ask that question be ;

Ne kadar zamandır burada yaşadın --> "How long did you live here?"

Kaç yıl[sene] burada yaşadın ? ---> How many years did you live here?"

****************************************************************

if that person still lives there ;

Ne zamandır burada yaşıyorsun ? -----> Since when you have been living here.

Kaç yıldır [senedir] burada yaşıyorsun ? ---> How many years you have been living here.
