Hello!

I would like to know the meaning and possible uses of phrases like: ne yapsam or ne söylesem. Because I´m not sure whether they ask "what (would happen) if I do/say ... ?" or perhaps "if I do WHAT (something happens)?" (Like asking what should I do for something to happend).

 

Could you give me some examples of using these forms, with translations?

my try:

 eğer böyle söylesem, ne olaçak: if I say so what will happen?

 eğer böyle yapsam, ne söyleceler : if I do so what would they say?

boyle olarak ne yapar mıyım: what do I do to have it happen?

 

Hope some turkish person feeds back,

Thank you, but these examples are clear to me.

I have problems with understand if ne stands just before -sam/-sem verb.

That form can be translated as "No matter what " , "whatever"

Ne + Verb stem + sa/se + person   

Ne  yapsan yerim ---> I eat [ I´ll eat] no matter what you make [cook]

                                         I eat [ I´ll eat]  whatever you make [cook]

I found a nice one:

 

Ne yapsam hata oluyor. ´Pardon me for breathing.´ (lit. ´Whatever I do turns out wrong.´ )

 

A further question: can the same structure be used with other question words, like ´whenever´, ´whatever for´, ´where ever´ and so on?

And what if question words other than "ne": ne zaman, nerede are used with the condictional, does it always make the meaning of English -ever words (whenever, wherever...)?

For example the first line from the song "İstanbul´da Sonbahar":

Mevsim rüzgarları ne zaman eserse

Is it: "Whenever the season´s winds blow"?

That sentence of yours is correct.

 

Check the following sentences of the proper way of making Sentences with "Whatever", " Whichever", " Whenever", " Wherever", " However" in Turkish

whatever

Ne isterseniz tamam ---> Whatever you want is all right.

Ne sorarsan cevaplayacağım ---> Whatever you ask, I will answer.

Ne giyersen giy güzel duracak üstünde ---> Whatever you wear, it will look nice on you.

 

Whichever

Hangi gün gelirseniz gelin uygundur [ iyi karşılanacaksınız]--->Whichever day you come, you are welcome.

 

Wherever

Nereye gidersen seni bulacağım ---> Whereever you go, I will find you.

[Nereye gidersen git seni bulacağım]

Nereye gittiysek insanlar bize karşı çok iyiydiler --->  People were nice to us wherever we went.

 

Whenever

İstediğiniz zaman beni arayabilirsiniz --->  You can call me whenever you like.

Ne zaman İstanbul´a gitsem ,Ayasofya´yı ziyaret ederim --> Whenever I go to İstanbul,I visit Ayasofia.

Onunla ne zaman konuşsam hayatından şikayet ediyor ---> Whenever I talk to him/her, she/he complains about his/her life.

Ne zaman film izlesem uykum geliyor --> Whenever I watch a film, I feel sleepy.

Ne sınıfta gürültü yapsam öğretmen bana kızıyor ---> Whenever I make noise in the class,the teacher tells me off.

 

However

Nasıl giderseniz gidin 5 saatinizi alır ---> However you travel ,it will take you 5 hours.

Ne kadar çok yerse yesin hiç kilo almaz ---> However much he eats, he never gets fat.

Ne kadar çok yürürsem yürüyeyim kilo veremiyorum --> However much I walk, I cant lose weight.

Ne kadar zengin olurlarsa olsunlar hep daha çok isterler ---> However rich they are , they always want more.

There is a big difference here. It has to be about real and unreal conditions.

 

But so good you gave these examples. If you try to google something like this you get everything but what you want.
