Thank you for these examples, tunci. Many new things for me at least.

 

It often happens that the complicated grammar points which you hate in the beginning in the end become the most interesting ones.

Selim olsa, sabaha kadar uyumaz, düşünür dururdu. Ben olsam yatardım.

 

A little bit like Selim´e/bana gelince.
